Does anyone feel the magic number vs the Red Sox may be more a bigger hurdle than the one against the Yankees?

Maybe.  And I know fielding percentage isn't en vogue, but they're last in all of baseball in fielding percentage.  IMO, it's a safe bet that the Red Sox will defeat themselves at some key juncture because they field like a little league team.

I do hate the Yankees, but I absolutely loathe the Sox.  That said, I would laugh if the Yankees somehow ended up in third place this season and out of the playoffs.

Need clarity on something.  I thought a magic number was the combined O's wins and/or losses by 2nd place chasing team combined to clinch the division.  I thought the Losses by the chasing team came off the total too.  But with this "magic 8 ball" calculator above, are Yankee losses being counted too?  I ask because each time we win, it gets reduced by one per the uniforms number indicator.  But when the Yankees lose and we win, why wouldn't it drop by two on those days?

These high numbers are great because about half the times a picture is posted I am thinking who the heck is that.  Clearly most are from spring training and not there number if they do actually make the roster.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
