We’re tied with the Yankees in the Loss Column.


Recommended Posts

This is the most important stat, and the biggest takeaway from last night’s win.

It sounds simple, but it’s the only stat that matters. We cannot make up losses. Losses are in the books. Decided. We can “make up wins” however because we’ve played three fewer games. 

So as long as we’re tied or better in the loss column, we still control our own fate. 

I think we all understand this. Maybe. I don’t intend for this to be a season long thread, but thought this shed importance on how big today’s game is.

Bigger game for them than it is for us imo. We already won a home series against them, they need to answer back in NY. Going to be pretty deflating for them if they drop the series after winning game one, especially after their series vs LA and Boston recently.

We have been several times.

We need to be at least 1 game better in the lose column if we're 3 games down. The percentages say we're going to lose one of those 3 games.

There's 83 games left to play. We just need to win as many as we can.

And Fangraphs has the Yankees 68% to 31% to win the division.

The Orioles right now are, IMO, a slightly better team than the NYYs, mostly because they get offensive contributions from a much wider group. Both teams have weaknesses, primarily because of injuries. I think it's very likely the NYYs will address their weaknesses by bringing in talent from outside the organization, and will improve, during the season. Will the Orioles do that? I don't have any idea.

Yeah, this is the key. Our competition in the post season are not the current teams, but the upgraded versions after the deadline.

    • Hopefully when he signs with someone else.  Until then it's a risk.
    • I don't even want my mind to go there. I don't think I can endure another cheap ownership and be a fan. For now I'm going to keep the faith that they won't be. It could be Elias being too conservative AGAIN then lack of commitment from ownership if they aren't very active in FA again 
    • I have to laugh how different baseball is from football. Here Elias is saying he is in the information gathering stage when FA has already started and then you have football where you had Rex Ryan at Bart Scott's front door at the stroke of midnight in the start of football FA years ago. Crazy how the 2 sports works. 
    • Pinto seems to be Eflin’s guy with McCann not coming back. For a team with budget constraints, is it really worth it pay McCann more than the league min?  I say no.  Also, it would be harder to get rid of McCann mid season in the clubhouse when we believe Basallo is ready. 
    • I find Elias's comments when asked about Coloumbe kind of troubling. Sounds like business as usual for the Orioles. Translation: don't expect much, we're cheapskates ... "I think any time you look at option decisions, you're looking at price point on a salary and you're looking at putting together a budget and a plan for the offseason that encompasses the entirety of your roster, and in particular the bullpen. And then, ultimately, it comes down to a fit and your talent evaluation, and the fit that you see going forward. We had hard decisions in both directions with these option decisions. Sometimes, you make a decision not to kick off your offseason with exercising an option, but you remain in position to stay in touch with a really good player, and Danny's somebody who has done a ton for us, been enormously successful the past couple of years and we really enjoyed having him, and he's somebody that we're going to want to continue talking to throughout the free agency, as long as that lasts. But I'm sure he's going to have a lot of good opportunities, and we'll see where it goes"
    • I would have  took Preston Smith for a 7th.  Damn like the Steelers really needed him. I'm just not feeling a SB at all. This defense just isn't going to get it done in a big game. Thanks DeCosta for taking another year off of Lamar"s chances. A 4th for Ojulari wouldn't had been a bad deal. 
    • Ok but I think many Orioles fans and the Orioles themselves would want the less years and not care so much about the  yearly salary especially with pitchers.
