7.5 up on Detroit now, with 6 games head to head with them. We need to pick it up.

Not only a question when we can pick it up , but also if  ……

IWhy do I get the feeling that our reinforcements might be “ too little, too late “  ?   Please wake up Orioles

It's time to start looking at the loss column vs. GB! You can't make up and loss. 

2 behind NYY

Only 3 up on KC and 4 on Minn

Down to 8. Tigers just lost to COL. Maybe that takes some steam off them as well. 

Maybe Jackson Holliday is so great sending Boston to Yankee Stadium with some steam was a calculated move  :)

Your home Tarik Skubal game against road Rockies...you can't predict baseball.     If they delay him for the OPACY series next weekend, I believe it would cost him a start for the Cy Young race with Seth Lugo.

It will be nice for the half game fragment vs. NYY to get cleared one way or the other tonight as every Club gets toward 162.   Orioles and Yankees have the same off days the entire rest of the season, so no more halves barring rainouts.

They would rather him pitch in the Royals series anyway as they are closer to them.

I think they want to use him on more rest as well. Doubt Orioles see him.

So what is best scenario in the Red Sox and Yankees series.  Boston sweep helps us for sure on Yankees but then might bring them closer in the wild card standings.  If I had confidence right now I say sweep but still worried we could go in little tailspin and make it interesting.  I think Boston winning 3 out of 4 would work best.  It helps us vs Yankees and doesn’t jump Boston to hit streak.  If we won last night definitely would want a sweep?

    • This is a really good post and I very much appreciate the optimism.  I am hoping to spend the offseason working on more effective ways to enjoy the team and to hopefully remember why I have loved them more than any other sports team for over 40 years. While the loss on Wednesday is not anywhere near my top 5 of worst Orioles losses ever (especially since 1997 and 2014 don't leave much room for anything else), I can genuinely say that I got less enjoyment out of this particular team and season than any that I can ever remember. From an entertainment standpoint, it just wasn't there at all for me this year. And even though it is probably immature, I don't know of a better word than resentment for how I felt towards these guys as these last three and a half months have played out. The two images that I will always have of this season are Cowser whiffing on the pitch that broke his hand and Adley looking at that 2-0 meatball with the bases loaded in Game 2. Those pictures captured the 2024 Orioles perfectly. Hoping my now much lower expectations bring more enjoyment in 2025.  
    • They bid on anyone with a posting fee yet? Only one team didn't even bother to make an offer for Ohtani.
    • Hasn't this narrative been retired yet?  It should be.
    • I’ve been in a mild state of sports depression since Wednesday. Angry and disappointed at what felt like, for me personally, the worst Orioles loss of my life time. But as I drove up to my house today, I looked at my Orioles flag, and I felt love. Love for the Orioles and love for the guys on this team. I remember getting a little emotional in 2018 when the previous core got blown up. I wondered if I’d be as invested with a new cropping of players. Well dammit, I ride with these dudes. They’ve ripped my heart out, but I believe in them. They’re young, they’re talented, and they play for each other. Growth is often not linear. Maybe Hyde can adjust, maybe he can’t. There’s plenty of questions now. It’s going to be long wait. And I have no idea if this team capitalizes on their potential. But I’ll be rooting for it. Because I love Baltimore, I love the Orioles, and I love these guys. I still don’t want to take down my flag just yet…. Go O’s!
