With all of the injuries, If the O's win the AL East, Hyde should be Manager of the Year.

How is this Rangers team the same one that bludgeoned us (and everyone else) with bat after bat after bat in the playoffs last year?

Marcus Semien: .687 OPS

Adolis Garcia: .674 OPS

Nathaniel Lowe: .720 OPS

Leody Taveras: .628 OPS

Jonah Heim: .616 OPS

Josh Jung: .741 OPS

Evan Carter: .633 OPS

Robbie Grossman: .657 OPS

Corey Seager: .864 OPS

Add in Mitch Garver (.608 OPS with SEA), and that’s the entire lineup who beat everybody’s brains in last year. 

And they just flat-out suck this year. Every single guy is worse this year, and all but Lowe and Jung are down by over 100 OPS points from last season. It’s really crazy.

They all got off the "clear"? Just asking questions.

Is it possible to lose a three game series in just one game?


I wonder if the O’s will find a way…

If they need up playing KC it will feel like it. The bats obviously won’t hit, Witt will kill us and the whole team will run circles on our pitchers and Adley on the base paths

Boston only 10 games behind the O's and closing fast.  Down 7-2 to the Mets in 9th.  Naysayers were right. 

Boston is now 3-7 in the last 10. Detroit and Seattle now tied for 1st team out, 9 games behind the O's. I'm not saying it is not possible but they would have to play nearly .750 and the O's would have to play nearly .250 ball the rest of the way to totally missing the playoffs.

Yeah but not only the NYY , we have do the same thing with other teams as well. We need to get on a roll like the Rangers done last year.  

The Rangers lost 3 of 4 to the Mariners at the end of the season to lose the division. We still got time. 🫡

Lol, I should have put it in green font.  Our chicken littles have said all 2nd half the Red Sox are going to catch the O's and they keep falling farther and farther behind.   It seems the more successful the team is, the more negative fans the O's have.  As far as offense, I looked at one losing streak in I believe 2019 and the O's scored less than 20 runs in 10 games,  They were really consistent, never scoring more than 4 runs, so there is that.

It kind of burns me that the Rangers sandwiched a World Series win between two seasons when they were not even close to contention (and possibly below .500 in both).   Even the year they won, they weren't that good.   They just got on a heater when it mattered most.

And you would have felt the same if the O's had won a WS between two non-playoff years?

We have lost multiple series on this board before we even played one game.  We lost vs the Mets and half the people already through up white flag for sweep vs Astros.

We did avoid the sweep but it was on the heels of several Astros miscues and one swing from Santander and Holliday after being down late in both. Could’ve very easily been a sweep.

      Who thought the run D would struggle? Why would anyone think that?

      O's .300 hitters

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Oh it’s definitely harder but I think teams are de-emphasizing it. Again, not saying they shouldn’t but I believe it has gone too far.

      Candidates for O’s MiL Pitcher of the Year

      By Frobby · Posted

      I think there are a lot of pitchers who made progress this year and may help the major league team some day, but there don’t appear to be a lot of high ceiling guys who could be TOR or even MOR pitchers.   Saying that, sometimes pitchers surprise you.  Nobody gave John Means a second thought until he showed up in the majors and was effective.

      9/15: O's Head Home After A Loss To The Tigers

      By accinfo · Posted

      No, Arizona was 84-78 for the entire season which is 6 games above 500 and played in the World Series.  Texas was 15-13 in September and won the World Series.  They didn’t play much better.  I have never nor I don’t think many people here think everything is fine and dandy.  In two weeks this same group of players with some added additions from injuries could play better.  They could play closer to the team which played in April and May.

      O's .300 hitters

      By Frobby · Posted

      Has it gotten devalued, or just harder to do?   I would far prefer a .260-.280 average BA to today’s .244.   I do think that one reason BAs are lower is that batters are emphasizing swinging for power.  But the bigger reason is, pitchers have just gotten bettter.  They throw harder, with more spin, and have a wider array of pitches than ever before.  It’s harder and harder to make solid contact, so if you do, be sure to hit it hard.    By the way, I have a simple way to raise batting averages by 10+ points: bring in the robo-umps and eliminate the 12% of called strikes that are actually balls.  Yes, the 4% of called strikes that are actually balls also will go away, but the net advantage to the hitters will be significant.  And the beauty is, you’re not changing the rules of the game or the strike zone.   You’re improving enforcement of the actual strike zone.  Do it!

      O’s look done

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      His career numbers are pretty much as identical as they can get from either side, and his season numbers are not that different either. .837 OPS lefty, .793 OPS righty this year.
