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

[Frobby]

With their win tonight, the O’s have won 178 games the last two seasons.  Here are the 20 other O’s teams that have won that many or more in consecutive seasons:

1969-70: 217

1970-71: 209

1979-80: 202

1968-69: 200

1978-79: 192

1982-83: 192

1964-65: 191

1965-66: 191

1973-74: 188

1977-78: 187

1996-97: 186

1976-77: 185

1960-61: 184

2022-23: 184

1983-84: 183

1971-72: 181

1974-75: 181

2013-14: 181

1975-76: 178

2012-13: 178

With 29 games remaining, the two top spots on this list are mathematically out of reach, and the next two spots are probably unreachable as a practical matter.  But all the rest are in play, and a 16-13 finish would put the 2023-24 O’s in the top five on this list.  So, the l’ll be watching as the current O’s make their assault on this list to see how high they can climb.

The 2024 team moved into a tie for 16th place in Orioles history with 181 wins in consecutive seasons, tying the teams from 1971-72, 1974-75 and 2013-14.   With their next win, they will have won more games in consecutive years than any of the teams during the Duquette-Showalter era.   (Actually, they did that in 2022-23 too).

Should Mike Elias be relieved of his duties?

With tonight’s win, the 2023-24 O’s tie the 1983-84 teams at 183 wins, tied for 15th most of any Orioles team in consecutive seasons.   

Also, with 82 wins this year, the O’s have had three consecutive winning seasons for the first time since 2012-14.

A good place to remind everyone that the Trevor Rogers trade was terrible, Elias is arrogant, Vance Honeycutt is already a bust and things are just overall awful.

Yesterday the O’s reached 184 wins over consecutive seasons, tying the 1960-61 and 2022-23 teams for 13th place on the list.  The 1960-61 teams, by the way, were the first two modern Orioles teams to have a winning record.

And don't forget the ultimate solution - Fire Elias and Hyde!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s a list of the 15 past O’s teams that won more than 267 games in a 3-year span (which is the current total):

1969-71: 318

1968-70: 308

1978-80: 292

1970-72: 289

1977-79: 289

1964-66: 288

1971-73: 278

1973-75: 278

1963-65: 277

1967-69: 276

1975-77: 275

1976-78: 275

2012-14: 274

1974-76: 269

1972-74: 268

Another 9 wins would get the 2022-24 O’s into the top 10 on this list.   8 wins would get them to the franchise’s highest 3-year win total in 44 years.

With today’s win, the 2023-24 Orioles tied the 1977-78 O’s for 10th place in wins over two consecutive seasons, with 187.   Neither of the 1977 and 1978 teams made the playoffs, though the ‘77 team did win 97 game.
