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.   

Since 1901 16 teams have played at least .688 ball for a full season (non-COVID edition), and just 14 over a full season of at least 150 games.

Over that same span 38 teams have played at least .688 ball over their first 60 games. 11 of those teams (including the 2020 Dodgers) didn't reach 100 wins on the season. Also, remember, there are some teams that won 111+ games and started worse than 42-18, so these aren't full subsets of the first group. For example, the 1906 Cubs, owner of the best record since 1900, started 41-19 and then got hot. The '22 Dodgers were 37-23 on their way to 111-51.

The '26 Yanks started the year 43-17 and ended up 91-63 with Ruth and Gehrig in the lineup. As mentioned the 2022 Yanks were similar. The 1928 Yanks started 45-15 and went 56-38 the rest of the way. The '53 Yanks went 46-14 to start, and 53-38 the rest of the way.

The best 60-game start ever was the 1912 Giants, who went 48-11-1, and 55-37 (.597) from then on out.

I'd guess there's about an 80-90% chance the Yanks win less than 111 games this year.

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

I'm more concerned about the Yankees series where we have 5-and-dive Suarez and rookie Povich and please-god-continue-to-be-good Irvin. In particular two lefties against Judge. I think if we get one I will basically take it.

Yankee lineup is pretty soft, if you ask me.   Obviously Judge and Soto are great.   But after that, they have NO ONE with more than 12 at bats with an OPS over .781.  The Orioles start about 5 guys every game with an OPS over .800.   Their regulars at C/1B/2B/3B all have OPS of .643 or less.    On our entire current roster we have one regular and one backup catcher with a lower OPS than that, while they start 4 guys like that pretty much every day.   And we have guys with .664 or .684 OPSs and people complain here when a  lineup comes out with them in it!

Obviously their pitching is great.   Best in MLB.   (We are 2nd bestERA in MLB).   And the way the rotation is falling we won't have our best against them.   And they are the home team for this one.   And Judge and Soto can do a ton of damage on their own despite the dropoff to to the rest of the lineup.   It's going to be a tough series with two of the best teams in MLB.

But I will be disappointed if we lose the series.   We are good, they are good.   Time to make a statement.

I'm just stating that I wish we had our top 3 starters going against NY. Not saying we're not capable of winning the series. 

Sheesh.

I would have signed in blood for 12-5 at this point of the gauntlet.   I do feel fortunate to catch Philly without Turner or Realmuto, but scoring 17 runs in 3 games has nothing to do with that.

Up to the task and then some during the gauntlet. I’ll take it. The energy coming off the TV from the Yard was electric. It doesn’t get easier, but they are exceeding my expectations during this tough run through the schedule.

It doesn’t get easier, but the success over the first 17 games takes a little pressure off the back 13.  Of course, the Yankees are not letting up the pressure on their end.

You ought to be careful with how much blood you're signing off on. This team might drain you.😂

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
