So the Season is Over – part 1
There’s not a good way to lose a playoff series but it really doesn’t get much worse than what the Orioles did this year. I was thinking about it and I decided losing 1-0 and 2-1 is actually worse than if they had gotten blown out both games and lost 10-0 and 10-1 because at

Here We Go Again
10 years ago the Orioles won 96 games and the AL East Division title. They beat the Tigers and their Cy Young rotation in the ALDS and then all that stood between them and the World Series was an 89 win Royals team. That Royals team ended up doing more than just standing in the

Siri, why does G(R)od allow suffering?
Grayson Rodriguez went on the IL with a Lat strain on August 7th. At the time it was a big let down because he was having such a good season with 13 wins in 20 starts but with almost 2 months before the playoffs it felt like a foregone conclusion that he would be back

I’ve got to focus, I’m shifting into Wildcard mode
Yesterday the Orioles clinched the postseason for the first time since 1996-1997. I supposed I knew that it had been that long because I remember the Buck Showalter O’s never made back to back playoffs and before that they hadn’t made the playoffs in my lifetime but even though I knew that, seeing all the

Should Brandon Hyde be Scapegoated for this Season?
It looks like the Orioles will not be winning the division. I am not happy about it especially because I’ve written so many times that I thought this Yankees team was not very good and I told a lot of people that they were massive frauds that would fade down the stretch and alas it

First Team to Stop being Mid Gets the Division
The way that rooting for a good team playing below their ability affects your mental health should be studied because it cannot be good for you to swing back and forth between “it’s over” and “we’re back” on a day to day basis for two straight months. When the Orioles were staring down the barrel

Believe it or not this year’s Orioles team is better than last year’s
On June 27th the Orioles pulled even with the Yankees in the standings with an 11-2 victory over the Texas Rangers. With the Yankees appearing to be entering their annual second half death spiral it seemed like the Orioles were about to kick it into high gear and pull away but instead since then the

The Orioles traded for 9 new players, but are they good?
With the Orioles maintaining a slim lead over the Yankees for the lead in the AL East despite having a rotation decimated by injuries and a faltering bullpen, fans and media were anticipating a very active deadline in Baltimore. There were plenty of mock trades created where the Orioles got ace pitchers like Tarik Skubal

We’re having a bad Joo-lie
The Orioles are 9-12 in the month of July and after Saturday’s tough loss filled with lowlights the vibes hit a season low. It is unfortunate that right at this moment morale is so low because we should be celebrating that for the first time since the O’s went in the tank not only are

What would YOU trade for Tarik Skubal
Right now Tarik Skubal is the hottest name that is being floated out as a possible trade candidate ahead of this year’s trade deadline. The question with Skubal isn’t whether your team should trade for him, it’s are you willing to pay the price in prospects to get him. He is at worst the second
