3 World Series in 7 years?

[Spy Fox]

Even if the O’s become the consistently elite team it looks like they might be in the 2020s, making and winning the WS is a crapshoot in the modern postseason format. 

The Yankees are on 10 straight postseason appearances without making a WS.

The Dodgers and Braves have each been to the postseason 14x in the 2000s and each only won 1 World Series.

Certainly seems like the team to do it. And I’m being conservative. Lol. God I love this team. We have so much amazing talent and they are all gelling together. This is special. Best stretch of baseball I think the Orioles will ever see in their organization ever.

This might be the biggest exaggeration ever, or you're a new fan?

Dude, I’m 45. I have vague memories of ‘83. I’ll just take one that I can appreciate at this point. 

44 year old here.  I feel ya.  If I could be at a game clinching WS win at Camden I think I would literally cry tears of unfathomable joy.

i sm very  enthused too, but no team will ever surpass the 1969-1971 Orioles .

I just want the kind of organization that every year has reasonable expectations to compete for the WS. 
No “windows of opportunity” and no Marlin, win and then blow it up. 

In the 20 years from 1966 to 1985 the O's had exactly one losing season and six WS appearances.  This is the standard the team should aspire to from this point forward IMO.

Just give my old man and I one.  May be running low on time here.

Giants won 3 in 5 years.   Those teams had arguably weaker offensive and defensive players, but they had Bumgardner, Lincecum, Cain, Romo, and Brian Wilson.  The O's don't have arms like that.

Look at all the one and done teams.  Marins Nationals Diamondbacks

The Yankees are largely mediocre and part of their 10 season run is due to the 16 times they played the tanking birds.

Your point is fair though.  The WS is kind of a crapshoot.  2014 the Royals were good, but not the best team.  Same arguably with Philly last year.

The Dodgers and Braves are both more interesting studies...and this is the second long stretch of success for Atlanta and they still have very little to show for it.

But make no mistake.  I'll sign up for what the Dodgers and Braves are doing..and by virtue of that, will help drop the Yankees down a peg or two.

All you can do is set yourself up to get to the playoffs and then it's a crapshoot. Anybody can beat anybody in a short series.

I'm still in a game at a time mode.  There isn't a team in the division that is so far out of it they can't still win the division.
