It's worth noting, though, that while the opponents the rest of the way do get a bit easier, and the days off definitely get a lot more frequent than they have been, the rest of the schedule is quite road heavy.   After Sunday, we will have 35 home games and 43 road games remaining.

Orioles have the 4th easiest remaining schedule according to tankathon.com. That has got to be an advantage with half the season remaining. June was rough, but it gets easier from here on out.

That's a good find.  Thanks for posting that.   Baseball especially is one of those sports where the later in the year that it gets, the worse teams tend to play worse and worse and the better teams better and better.   So this could be a big help.

Yes, but the O’s are 24-14 (.632) on the road this year and were 52-29 (.642) on the road last year.   The road doesn’t seem to bother our boys.

They've had pretty even Home/Away splits, though.

      Someone worse than Melanie Newman(hilarious)

      By Frobby · Posted

      The A’s do have a female PBP announcer, IIRC.   I wonder if this was meant to diss her.  I I have no idea what she sounds like or if she’s any good.     https://www.npr.org/2024/02/14/1231317599/oakland-athletics-woman-announcer#:~:text=Hourly News-,The Oakland Athletics hire the first woman play-by-play,years and has five Emmys.

      Do Jon Miller and/or Gary Thorne belong in the Orioles Hall of Fame?

      By Frobby · Posted

      The following announcers are in the Orioles Hall of Fame: Chuck Thompson (announced O’s games fron 1955-56, 1962-87), Bill O’Donnell (1966-82), Joe Angel (1988-90, 1992, 2004-18) and Fred Manfra (1993-2017). All had longer tenures than either Jon Miller (1983-96) or Gary Thorne (2007-19).  Both Miller and Thorne’s tenure ended amidst contract disputes, while the above four all retired of their own volition.  Miller by now is far more associated with the San Francisco Giants, where he’s been for 27 years.  But of course, there are many plsyers in the Orioles Hall of Fame who had longer tenures elsewhere and are more associated with other teams.  From a quality standpoint, Miller is already in the Baseball Hall of Fame and it’s hard to dispute how great he was with the O’s.   Thorne is more subject to opinion, but I’d easily put him ahead of Manfra in terms of quality.  We don’t want too many announcers adding to the existing clutter in the OHOF, but I’m curious what people think.  I suspect that neither was ever going in while the Angelos family owned the team, given the circumstances of their departures, but today’s a different day.  What say you?

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 24fps · Posted

      I said that was the date reality (everybody gets serious) begins.  All the players actually available won't be determined until the teams on the bubble decide whether or not they are going to invest in the rest of the season.  With the current Wild Card setup, that doesn't happen until the last minute.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Malike · Posted

      You gave the arbitrary date of July 19th.
    • Frobby
      So, who WOULD you trade?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Probably a good call.

      I don't have a Baseball America subscription, but you are able to read an in depth analysis on Coby Nayo's batting metrics here https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/coby-mayo-jackson-holliday-headline-10-statcast-standouts/ Interesting stuff.   He looks like a guy we should consider holding onto.
