Still 2 more titles than the O's have combined to win since 1983.

And?  Is lack of funds why that is?  The Os had one of if not the highest payroll on those mid 90s playoff teams.

They spent plenty of money in the mid 2010s.

Mismanagement  is why they were a train wreck.

Yea..from a lineup optimization stand point, that is third best spot to bat your best players.

Genuine question... Why is the cleanup spot better than the 3rd spot in the lineup? If your leadoff and/or 2nd place hitters are on base, wouldn't the 3rd spot get more opportunities than cleanup?

I think it is because in the 1st inning - there is about a 40% chance the 3rd spot bats 2 outs, nobody on, but there is about an 80% chance it gets to cleanup with men on base.

After the 1st it is more random.
