22 - 8

It just dawned on me that Mullins/ Tate/ Mountcastle killed my chances of nailing this prediction.

If we win 17 and lose 13, that will put the nail in the coffin in any hopes in catching the Yankees, we will likely be 10 games out of 1st.

The Phillies looked pretty fraudulent if I'm honest, but it was nice to get them before they got Turner back. I'm more concerned about the Yankees series where we have 5-and-dive Suarez and rooki

Why the down vote @DirtyBird? I literally saw you post that the season is over after we lost Bradish so this feels pretty hypocritical. I'm just stating that I wish we had our top 3 starters goi

That’s crazy talk.  I suggest you take a careful look at how things went for the Orioles and Rays last year.  It’s a long season and the division winner won’t be decided in June.

There is much crazy talk here at OH!  It is not all just in the game thread.

This would put the Orioles at 52-32. Do you really think the Yankees will be 62-22 or the equivalent of 10 games ahead? The Yankees have been hot, but their record is 42-19.

If the Yankees would happen to play at that pace then you just tip your hat to them and try to win as many games as possible.

Exactly the Yankees would be on pace for one of the best regular season records in MLB history. There isn't much you can do about that, but it doesn't necessarily mean a World Series in the expanded playoff format. 

The goal should be win the AL East, but at a minimum make the playoffs and see how the chips fall.

They may be.  That remains to be seen but there isn’t much the Orioles can do about it.  If Judge, Stanton, and Soto play at the pace they are now the whole season they are an offensive machine.  Their pitching has been great and Cole may be coming back soon.  That said in a playoff series anyone can beat anyone.

In hindsight yes, but you can't see the future, do you honestly think the Yankees are going to keep up a .690 winning percentage all year? I highly doubt it.

Are they better than the 2022 Yankees?  That team had a better record at this point in the season than this year’s Yankees.   The ‘22 team did win the division, but only won 99 games after starting 49-16.  They went 50-47 after their crazy hot start.  Teams don’t defy gravity forever.

The 1997 Orioles started 50-23 (111 win pace) and finished 98-64. It's rare for a team to stay this hot for all 162 games.

I wouldn't.

I think that would lead to some really annoying national coverage and a pretty toxic environment.

Maybe 26-4?

The 1921 IL Orioles had a 27-game winning streak, which was the professional record* until broken by the 1987 Salt Lake Trappers. That would be nice to beat.

* The 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings won something like 81 consecutive games, but that was before leagues were established and many of the wins were against local amateur nines of questionable quality.

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I saw Seitzer charge the mound at a game at Memorial Stadium in ‘89 or ‘90. No thanks.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      ???. Cowser took more swings against LF than any other LH hitter on the team ( not named  Henderson). He was one of the guys they did not platoon.

      I think Kevin Seiyltzer was the fall guy for a team that thought they were a championship team.  This guy has overseen more a decade of hitting in Atlanta, has been through developing and helping young batters succeed when the league adjusts.  Most importantly, he has a ring!

      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.
