Last night, in addition to winning the AL East, the O’s won their 100th game.  It was the 6th time in Orioles history, and the first time an Orioles team had done it in 43 years.  

Despite that long drought, very few major league teams have won 100 games six times.  In fact, only 7 other teams have won 100 six times or more, and of those, only 3 teams have won 100 more than six times since 1954, the year the Orioles began playing in Baltimore.  Here’s a list of the seven teams:

1.  New York Yankees, 19 times, including 12 times since 1954.   God I loathe them.

2.  Atlanta Braves, 9 times, 8 times since 1954.

3.  Los Angeles Dodgers, 9 times, 7 times since 1954.  They may add to that total this year: they’re at 98 wins with 3 games to play.   

4.  St. Louis Cardinals, 9 times, but only 5 times since 1954.

5.  Oakland Athletics, 9 times, but only 4 times since 1954

6.  San Francisco Giants, 8 times, but only 4 times since 1954.

7.  Chicago Cubs, 6 times, but only once since 1954.   

By reaching their 6th 100 win season, the O’s surpassed the Detroit Tigers and Houston Astros, each of whom did it 5 times.

In total, only 113 AL or NL teams have ever won 100 games, less than one a season.  Seven franchises have never had a 100 win team: the Milwaukee Brewers, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals.

So, 100 wins is a heck of an accomplishment for the 2023 Orioles.

It's only a big deal because we have 10 fingers and count in decimal. In octal 100 is just 64 wins.

I like binary better.  If you take 100 decimal wins and convert it to binary, you get to add a lot more to the front of the 100.   It is 110100 wins.  But if you go the other way binary 100 is only 4 wins.  That doesn't look as nice.

The franchise we now call the Atlanta Braves has won 100+ 10 times, but their only World Series win among those wasn't really a World Series win.

They won 100 in 1998, 1993, 2023, 1999, 1898, 1892, 2022, 2003, 2002, and 1997. The only time they won the Series among those years was 1892, and that was really a proto-World Series between the 1st and 2nd half winners of the National League in the only split season prior to the 1981 strike. It was odd to modern eyes, in that the Braves (Beaneaters at the time) won the Series 5-0-1, as it was best-of-nine, including a game one tie due to darkness. None of the games drew more than 7500 fans, and the 13 players on winning side split $1000 in prize money, taking home $76.92 each.

The best record of any modern World Series-winning Braves team was 95-59-1 for the '57 Milwaukee Braves. And the 2021ers won despite being just 88-73 in the regular season.

This is the best Orioles team of my life time, I think. Maybe '97 was a better team at optimal health, but I'm not sure.

Based on run differential the best O's team of my life was probably '71, but I don't remember a whole lot because they won their 100th when I was 102 days old and was still trying to catch up on the 1800s Orioles history.

What’s interesting to me is that this may be the only 100 win team we see for a while…and I also think this could be the worst team we field for the next 5 or so years.

Well, by Pythag they’re “only” a 93-win team, so yeah, they could drop under 100 even if the talent level is a little better.   At the same time, the AL East may not be this strong every year.  That’s less important with the new balanced schedule though.

      Is Matt Wieters >Adley?

      If he has been injured all this time, why are they still letting him play? After a month of poor performance with an injury, they should have sat him. EDIT - Screw a month, 2 weeks.

      And McCann is our worst RHB facing a dominant lefty with reverse splits. You have to think a K is a high likelihood.  And then to send him up there with Ramon on 3rd, you have to expect the same outcome.

      I don't like hearing that a catcher has a back issue -no matter how big or how small it is- at age 26.

      Brandon Hyde 2024

      IMO he made two decisions that were clearly wrong, pitching to Witt and not PR Holliday, to go along with a couple others I didn’t agree with but are certainly debatable. There is no doubt that the game was lost because the bats couldn’t push a run across, but everyone has a job to do, and like the batters, Hyde didn’t do his.

      I use the StatCast search function. It’s a little more complicated for chase rate, ground ball rate, popup rate, and sweet spot rate because you need to adjust selected pitch attributes/outcomes as well as total pitch definition and then use % of pitches. I believe popups are categorized by stringers and generally capture balls that an infielder could catch.  I believe Adley’s fly balls have gotten can of cornier even without the popups.

      ...or simply choose not to even attempt to play situational baseball.  As I posted in another thread, 0-0 game both teams aces are dealing.  Ced leads off the inning with a double.  Your #9 hitter (McCann) is coming to the plate with your two best hitters (Gunnar and Westburg) to follow. Instead of bunting Ced to 3rd and almost assuring yourself a 1-0 lead which firmly puts the pressure on KC, Hyde chooses to let McCann swing away.  He feebly strikes out, Gunnar grounds out (there was your run), and Westburg flies out.  0 runs, 1 hit, 0 errors. 1 left on....

      Adley - Is it an injury? Is it a woman? Is it the "process?" Is it just who he is at his age? What Is It? And no, I'm not doing a pole. Wait till 2025 for the answer - I think. Till then - speculate. This off season goin be fun on here. This thread kinda makes me miss Rick Dempsey and I have absolutely no idea why. 😄 Oh yea, he was our last WSMVP.
