I still want to see them winning games easier. That’s the mark of a really good team. Their pythag theorem record is still 8 games over 500.  
 

Now, that is obviously not foolproof as some predictor and I think he tells you how great the pen has been but definitely would like to see some separation in runs scored and runs allowed.

They have the 5th best run differential in all of baseball. Things are going pretty well if that's the biggest gripe.

Sorry, tied for 5th best.

One of the funniest things about this board is that when the Orioles get good, posters get snippy with each other.

If this team was 15 games under .500 and headed towards a last place finish, I bet the tone around here would be a lot different.  Now suddenly that everyone cares and we're good, people are on edge cause...THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN.  And some of us don't know how to act.

I’m not saying the run differential is bad but that the record is perhaps better than it should be.

The margin for error is slimmer right now than it should be for a team this far over 500.

      What is unsettling to me is in how much better a position the team appeared to be in last year at this (approximate) time.

      I love the Orioles but after the last three decades it is no longer unconditional love anymore from me.  The Orioles are going to have to put out once in a while to keep my interest.  They got to let us go all the way once in a while.

      Elias: It's on me

      The Baltimore Orioles are still one of the best teams in all of baseball.  They still have an awful lot going for them.  Unfortunately, the while the distance between World Series winner and close but no cigar is not that much in the overall win column during the season, the things they need to go right, and the things they need to do to improve are still pretty massive. Compounding this is the fact that they can do everything necessary and it is still possible it won't work.  I don't say that as an excuse.  Elias is going to be measured by playoff appearances and the success that brings.  He has been engineer of two playoff teams and a near miss.  He still has as many wins with his near miss and his rebuilding teams in the playoffs as his two playoff teams.  It is certainly fine to criticize that. Of course he says it is on him.  One because it is, and two because any good GM would do the same.  But the Orioles are no longer building towards being good.  They are good and no one is going to give them anything.  There is work to be done to make this team better positioned to compete in the post season.   And the Angelos family is no longer a hinderance. I am as disappointed as everyone else and in general I am a root for the uniform not the player guy.  These guys have been fun to root for, but the second half and this playoff run was tough to stomach.  I hope that to give this team the chance to compete, they add a #1 TOR pitcher and another playoff caliber starter before the season starts.  I also hope they add a playoff experienced RH bat.  Trade, sign, whatever.  The window is open.  Whatcha gonna do?

      I doubt any GM has ever done that.  Maybe he can be the first, he could hold a big press conference and everything.  Go Elias, go!

      Elias is also a known liar.  So take what he says with a grain of salt.
