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

Is it possible for the Yanks to clinch tomorrow if we lose?  Might be worth losing just to have that over with before we get to NY honestly 

No, because if we finish tied with the Yankees, we will have won the season tiebreaker over them. So down 6 with 6 to go wouldn’t be enough to clinch.

Gotcha. So we will almost certainly be watching them celebrate in a few days. Because we ain’t sweeping them, you can bet the house on that.

And if we beat them later on it makes it sweeter.

They’ve also won 1 of their last 12 series that weren’t against CHW or COL. Yeah there were three 4 gamers and a 2 gamer in there, but it would be nice to win a series against an actual baseball team again.

Good footage for the revenge foreshadowing segment in The Next Chapter: Part whatever.

The best they may do and I mean the best is win 1 game. The Orioles suck but they are pretty decent in winning 1 game in a series

For what it’s worth Orioles may not have much of a chance to celebrate. SEA is up 5-2 in 6th tonight. 

If they clinch a WC in NY do you celebrate? I guess if division is over with. 

Yeah I guess they will but it will feel kind of silly if the Yanks clinch the division at their expense and the Orioles only clinch just the WC. It's almost like see scoreboard or in this case see standings.

Even if SEA wins tonight, wouldn't the Orioles clinch tomorrow if they win and SEA loses?

Handshakes and pat on backs are sufficient.  Celebrating after how they’ve played for months seems a little silly.   If they win a playoff series, celebrate then.

      The game is already tied. If he gets thrown out, the O's still have a runner in scoring position and just one out. You really didn't have much to lose by sending him there, with a chance to end the game.

      Yes.  He’s not a great bunter but at least try it once.   Santander was today’s choker.  He’s gotta be able to hit a freaking fly ball there.

      Same exact question Ravens fans ask every season.  No killer instinct.  In the game’s biggest moments, they come up small.  Exactly what you saw today.  Pathetic

      Should we have gone with a suicide or safety squeeze with Mullins? He might be better at bunting than hitting deep fly balls. Just a thought.

      I agree with the second but not the first. If the first fails, that's an extra out. If the second fails then they just get an out at home instead of an out at first, which is not really relevant with Gunnar going to 3rd. For the first case I'd think you need to be like 80% to succeed for it to be right, but for the second like 20%.

      The Sting of Losing Winnable Games

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      Bump. Tonight's game wasn't just "winnable" -- it would have been one of the top 2-3 wins of the season. Down 2 in the 9th and we come out single, single, walk, double to tie the game and have two of our fastest runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with our 2-3-4 hitters coming up next.  And our guys gagged. They wilted under pressure. They choked.  Again.  This has happened so many times this season that I believe we need to consider the real possibility that the Orioles as currently constructed lack the character, stamina, -- the heart, if you will -- to win games like this. I think these players fail so often because they expect to fail. I remember after we won it all in '83 reporters were interviewing Ken Singleton in the locker room and one of them asked if the Orioles had been lucky. "You make your own luck" he responded. Well, the 2024 Orioles are making their own bad luck over and over again. How does that cycle of failure come to an end? I wish I knew.

      I know the OH hates Holliday, but it's a no brainer keeping him over Soto. We're talking about bench players who are going to, at most, have a small role in a few games. Soto has no pop and is slow. He's a warm body as it is. Holliday's ability to run can be very useful in the playoffs.
