6-4 (40 RS, 28 RA)

7-3 (43 RS, 31 RA)

1-0 vs. PHI, 2-1 @ NYY, 0-3 @ HOU, 1-2 vs. CLE

The offense was strong but inconsistent, while the pitching was the worst of the year to date.

The O's went 18-12 in that brutal stretch, then immediately went on a 6-game west coast swing where they went 4-2. Impressive.

Do other teams have any 30 games in 31 days stretches in their schedule?

Remaining, or including stretches already played?   The Yankees had 29 games in 30 days from April 13 - May 12.  They actually had two days off in that stretch, but it began with a doubleheader.

Good to know it wasn't just an isolated quirk of the schedule. 

The O's won 17 games in each of April, May and June. Keep doing that and they win the division easily

Not gonna lie, that was our worst 10 game segment of the year by far, especially on offense.

Jeez, 3-10 in our last 13 games.  Swept by the Cubs, nearly swept by the Yankees.  We rebounded to win the series against the Rangers, but now we've lost the first two against the Marlins and have to win today to prevent being swept.  Not saying the sky is falling or anything, but I'm just very disappointed with how they've played lately.

They had a shot at 7-3, but dropped the last two games to finish 5-5.

The Orioles are a .500 team right now, and have been for nearly two months. They are not a bad team that has long losing streaks, but they are far from a team that can have long winning streaks. It's more like win one, lose one, win two, lose two. This is is the reality. If they can maintain a .500 record the rest of the way, it's a 90-win season and a likely payoff spot. But there's no margin for error. Any dip below .500 and they are out of the postseason.

1-0 va. WSN, 2-2 vs. BOS, 1-2 at NYM, 1-1 vs. HOU.

45 runs allowed isn’t amazing or anything, but it’s the fewest the team has allowed since games 61-70.

    • Good point, no other metropolitan area has more than one team.
    • Could it be that they allowed the Gnats to reside within 30 minutes of their home. Effectively cutting their market in half? 
    • Got my all-time low rarity score on today's game - 6.
    • 41 freaking years and here's this guy with the name pickles telling me I should be happy with 91 wins and getting owned in the playoffs again. 😂 😂 I saw a team that looked terrible the second half and probably didn't even deserve that spot the way they were playing .
    • Lol. Here's the funny they know more then you know. Typical Oriole fan who's happy with getting punched in the mouth. 
    • I don’t like the wall. I think it’s affecting our hitters. I’ve mentioned before that I think it has totally warped Mountcastle into something he was never really meant to be. The guy came up as a pull-heavy HR hitter, and in his first season-plus (725 PAs), he puts up 38 HRs and a 116 wRC+. Since then, the wRC+ is down to 110, and his approach has totally changed, with his pull numbers plummeting (down from 39% in 2021 to less than 28% this year). He still hits the ball hard, but constantly underachieves his batted ball data — probably because he’s trying to avoid the pull field and hitting balls to the deepest parts of pretty much every other park. Will the same thing happen to Mayo? Maybe he has more pure power, but it’s always going to be a challenge for a RH slugger to survive with that wall. So much harder to do damage.   Beyond that, I think it’s also creating a serious risk of changing our LH hitters’ approaches too. These guys (Henderson, Holliday, Cowser, 2/3 of Adley) have come up with a reputation for being able to drive the ball to all fields. But how long does that continue when they just can’t hit it out to the opposite field? Our LH hitters had a combined 44 wRC+ at OPACY, and only one HR. They had the 3rd most balls hit to LF at home by LHHs, but the lowest wRC+ of any team on those balls (for the second straight year). The Royals, ironically enough, were the only team that was lower than a 70 wRC+ — that’s how much worse our lefties fared going oppo (at OPACY) than everyone else’s. By player: Gunnar Henderson: 112 wRC+ / .160 ISO (51 PAs) Adley Rutschman: 10 wRC+ / .026 ISO (38 PAs) Anthony Santander: 14 wRC+ / .095 ISO (43 PAs) Colton Cowser: 58 wRC+ / .057 ISO (36 PAs) Ryan O’Hearn: 47 wRC+ / .091 ISO (55 PAs) Cedric Mullins: 23 wRC+ / .100 ISO (41 PAs) Jackson Holliday: -72 wRC+ / .000 ISO (16 PAs)   On the road, they had a combined 126 wRC+ (with 9 HRs) going to left field, so it’s not like they’re bad at it. It’s just Death Valley out there in LF for them at OPACY.  How long will it be until these LH guys just start going full pull-happy? Essentially, the opposite of what’s happened with Mountcastle. When (a) your team’s philosophy is to focus on doing damage and (b) you can’t DO damage to the opposite field — the rational endpoint is just to try to pull everything. I don’t think that’s a good outcome. I think it makes them much worse hitters in the other 81 games, and I think it’s a terrible waste of a bunch of really talented hitters with all-field abilities.
