The O's are now first in MLB in HRs with 30. 15 HR in the last five games. The White Sox have hit 8 HR total.

So we’re better than the White Sox?  Got it!  

We’re on pace for 270 homers.  Is that good?

We really need to get some pitching

[Spy Fox]

Also on the power prowess front, the O's have six players with 4+ HRs. 

The only other teams with more than two are the Dodgers with four (Betts, Teoscar, Muncy, Ohtani) and Astros with three (Altuve, Tucker, Alvarez).

BRaves hit 307 last year, Dodgers were 2nd with 249. You probably know this already, but I had to post this because of the difference between 1 & 2.

Never fear, the Royals yield the least amount of runs in MLB and we all know good pitching beats good hitting. Enjoy lamenting all weekend!

Yeah, there have been a few CRAZY team HR totals the last few years.  But I’d settle for 270.

This was a pretty funny tweet from before the game today.

The 1987 Orioles did it in 6 straight games but I'm too lazy to look them up. Probably going to be stuck at 5 with the way KC pitches and that ballpark.

Remember when we used to be on the other side of this ledger? How easy some forget. We don’t have to put others down to prop ourselves up. I hope we don’t become that annoying/arrogant fanbase who likes to run others’ noses in it.

Agreed.  But that X post was by a CHW fan, so I'll allow it.
