Quick someone wake up @Bemorewins and let him know that the Orioles might be able to compete with the best teams after all. 

Umm... I never said that they couldn't. I expect them to!

What I said was my concern is #3 starter in the playoffs and the backend of our bullpen being good enough to win a World Series.

Boone blaming it on Gil tipping pitches. The Great Todd Frazier concurs.

2 out of 3 with a rotation of Suarez, Povich, and Irvin. Love the justice after they threw at Gunnar yesterday. Coming off four game sweep of Tampa and series wins vs ATL and Philly, I'd say we are playing at a high level.

But the Yankees aren't the same team we played before.  Some O's fans still living in the past, thinking we're just inferior to the great Yankees. Yankees have to worry about us now. Great win!

The Yankees are a great team (one of the best in MLB). We are just better!

Yes, the O's made a statement, but the Yankees are a good team.  The O's were fearsome today, but our starting pitching did anything but dominate this series.  Way too many walks, more than I've seen any team give the Yankees and not pay dearly for it.  The next series could be very different, especially if we don't get some pitching help pretty soon.

Os went 4-2 and outscored them 43-25 over the last 2 series vs 2 of the other 3 best teams.

Did a quick search on BB-Ref, and this looks like the one.

That's the one! Thanks. Seems like yesterday and yet it's been 26 years...

Gunnar got thrown at yesterday. Shut his mouth. And just set the tone all day today for this offense. He has to be the top priority to lock up long term. Overpay or not

[Uli2001]

I posted somewhere on this board that I would be surprised if the O's didn't take 2 out of 3 at least. It's time we start expecting this. Best offense in MLB by a good margin. But they need to get pitching help.

Very happy with 2/3 considering the pitching we trotted out there. 6-3 vs. ATL, PHI, and MFY works for me.

So what team in the NL is better than the MFY in NY?

 

I mean 2-3 vs Atlanta, Philly and the Yanks. I guess you think the O’s can’t compete with the Cardinals in the WS?

Seriously?  That's hilarious.  I guess their entire bullpen and the starting catcher were also?

Yeah, I'm sure it has nothing to do with him throwing 29 innings since 2022 and now he's up over 80 coming back from injury. Who would have thought that his arm might fatigue?
