Highest runs per game.

You are right...I swore saw something that we'd dropped to 2nd, but we haven't, at least not yet.  Of course if we keep scoring 3.5 runs like we have the past few week we soon will be out of first.  Hopefully that doesn't happen.

The hitting "tends to be contagious" has a lot to do with the pressure being off and vice versa.  Saying that, this team has a very poor approach as Hyde and Ben have pointed out. Everyone is try

Pretty sad,  i feel like I'm reading a Yankee's game day Reddit thread.

It's true that we are 2nd in scoring.  It's also true that for the past few weeks our scoring has been lower, 3.5 runs a game or so.  Is that a small valley that we will rebound from?  Or is it reverting back to what the 'norms' will be with Cowser, Mateo, Mountcastle etc cooling off.  While I don't have any numbers to back it up, I'm sure that the team that leads the league in scoring for the first 1/2 of the year doesn't always score at the same rate in the 2nd half.  Point is the offense is struggling lately, and maybe it will rebound, but maybe we should make some moves to shore it up a bit.

This sort of question requires a personal response, I guess. Either you believe in the talent of these hitters or you don't. Nobody can answer that question for you, but personally, I believe in the talent of these hitters.

Second most runs scored but have played fewer games than the Yankees.

Depends on the player I guess.  Gunnar, Adley, Westburg, Santander, those I believe in their talent, and I expect them to snap out of most funks.  Mateo, Urias, Mullins, Hays, Mountcastle, McCann, Cowser I don't so much.  I guess, overall, there are fewer hitters that I DO believe in versus those that I don't.  McCann is done, Mateo is starting his yearly swoon, Mountcastle can stay cold for a LONG time, Hays can't stay healthy and effective, Cowser hasn't hit in 3 months and doesn't have any track record to trust yet, etc.

      Playoff closer

      By Grt 2BA FL Gator · Posted

      I would be OK with this and it’s what Hyde was doing with Kimbrel in a way too. We’ve got guys that can match up, let’s try to take advantage.

      Back to back 90 or more win seasons

      By accinfo · Posted

      A 90 win season with Grayson missing at least 10 starts, Means and Bradish missing at least 20 each.  Throw in Tyler Wells missing most of the season and other injuries I think this team and its management has done well.  If just a little more healthy they could have had back to back 100 win seasons.  I am glad we have Mike Elias and Brandon Hyde leading this team.

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Some interesting things of note from https://www.samford.edu/sports-analytics/fans/2023/Sabermetrics-101-Understanding-the-Calculation-of-WAR. I pulled out the relevant areas: Fangraphs allocates 570 WAR for position players and 430 WAR for pitchers, while Baseball-Reference allocates 590 WAR for position players and 410 WAR for pitchers The major difference between fWAR and bWAR comes from the measurement of fielding runs, which is the defensive output a player provides. Fangraphs uses a statistic called Ultimate Zone Rating (UZR), while Baseball-Reference uses a statistics called Defensive Runs Saved (DRS). The differences in these stats can lead to drastically different calculations in WAR for some position players. UZR takes into account 3 years of players’ data as well as MLB data to determine these percentages, whereas DRS uses essentially 1 year of data. Therefore, some rookies will have drastically different UZR and DRS stats. As opposed to positional players, Fangraphs and Baseball-Reference take drastically different steps in calculating the WAR of pitchers. It does not follow the formula for position players but does try to calculate the “wins” that a pitcher gives to their team. Instead, they use a “base” statistic to help calculate WAR. Fangraphs uses FIP, or fielding independent pitching, as its base for calculating pitchers' WAR, whereas Baseball-Reference focuses on Runs Allowed per 9 innings (RA9) for its base I think the main takeaway for Gil, bWAR likes him more than FanGraphs probably because FG aims to take the defensive element out of the calculation by centering on FIP. And if we look at FIP, his is close to 4. But Baseball Reference is using RA9 which does have a defensive element inherently calculated. As for Cowser, I reckon FG likes him more than BBRef particularly on the defensive metric side of things. Maybe BBRef is harsher on the DRS side than FG is on the UZR side. To me, I like FG for pitchers far more than BBRef. For position players, I’d give the nod to FG but mainly because I think DRS can have some wide swings where UZR has a tendency to be more centered.

      Climbing the list of most O’s wins in two consecutive seasons

      By Frobby · Posted

      The win tonight in game 161 allowed the 2023-24 Orioles to reach 191 wins, tied with the 1964-65 and 1965-66 teams for the 7th most wins in consecutive seasons.  With a win tomorrow, they could move up to a tie for 5th. Tonight’s win also gave the O’s 275 wins over the last 3 seasons, tied for 11th with the 1975-77 and 1976-78 O’s.  They could move into a tie for 10th with a win tomorrow.
