Point me to a time since May 2022 when the Orioles haven't have any business walking on the field with any team in either league.

Sure,I want to see these guys go the World Series...but I think it's going to be a tall task. We haven't hit well lately, and though its a "different season", I dont think we match up with the  Ranger

I am going to enjoy this week and not be disappointed. We are one of the final 8 teams with 4 teams that have a 250 million$ payroll. This team is battle tested and always gives 1000%. That’s all I ca

That said I couldn't be prouder or more satisfied with this season ...we figure to be better next year with a heathy(lets hope) Means, and a surplus of decent starting pitching.plus Holliday, maybe Ortiz and Norby and Mayo.....Im not going to mope or whine if we dont win this series, but I DO think the first two games COULD benefit us with Bradish and Grayson...but the way this team was hitting for the last couple of weeks, we will need to score a bunch of runs and not give up home runs...Im not sure either is a given for this team...right now. I think the Rangers win the series 3-1...I hope im wrong, believe me...

As a lifelong Buffalo Bills fan who sat through the four straight Super Bowls I can tell you losing hurts more than winning feels great... and it does not fade away. I may be more nervous about that feeling (losing) than playing Texas.  The feeling sucks but will not diminish the great six months+ this team has given us.  Pffft it's just a game? bah humbug :)

O's starting pitching is in the best position its been all year.  And as Hyde says " We will go as far as our pitching will take us."   Bradish, GRod and Means are strong and confident.  Hitters score one more than the other team and will fight until the last out is made.   I feel good about beating Texas and Houston.   Its Atlanta.

Want to win. But understand that the playoffs are set up such that the best team loses 80%+ of the time.

We need a change of mentality in here. We’re the #1 seed and a legit World Series contender. I’ll be very upset if we don’t win atleast this series 

I have a hard time working myself up to very upset when it is a matter of a group of folks I don't personally know playing a game against another group of folks I don't personally know.

I guess I'm not young enough anymore to get that level of invested in something I can't in any way influence.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
