Its great watching this Rays-Yanks series. I've rationalized that we can't lose:

 

1) Rays win and we get to enjoy an epic, historical Yanks meltdown in progress

 

2) NYY win and we can move to take top wildcard spot from Rays beating TEX

Idk if I've ever gone from loving a player as much as I did to now absolutely despising them quite like I have with Donaldson.

 

Donaldson was always a guy you only like if he's on your team...

That's not correct, we would still be half a game back. I don't care who wins as long as the Rays bullpen is decimated. If the Jays don't win, none of this matters.

I love JD and give him a nice ovation every time he returns.

Devers hits a grand slam; Sox up 4 - 0 against Os in the 1st

 

The Orioles demise is well underway

 

They were a good story this year and obviously improved massively from last year

 

But they're not a legit post season threat yet

Bold prediction, O's > old, decrepit Yankees in 2023

It's bold, so no.

 

It's only bold if you actually believe it. You're just throwing around an unlikely scenario that you don't think will happen.

Watch the video and specifically his legs. It’s like he’s 8 years younger all of a sudden

There are some basic predictors like strength of farm system, and team age, that indicate Orioles will improve next year and Yankees will decline. The Orioles also have the most payroll space in baseball.

 

Also out of the teams that have lost 100+ games multiple times in a short span, have any of them not turned it around very quickly once the draft picks started appearing? I'm thinking 2008 Rays, 2015 Cubs, 2015 Astros.

 

And the Orioles have collected a bunch of young left handed or switch hitters with great on base percentages Rutchman, Henderson, Cowser, Stowers and Jackson Holliday already has a 25-12 bb/k ratio as an 18 year old high school draft pick and could come quick (but probably not next year).

 

I don't know a lot about their pitching but they seem to have done a good job turning around some journey men this year, and have one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. Their closer is great and has 6 years control left even though he is 27.

 

Their ownership is a bit wild, but apparently there are 'good' Angelos family members , and 'bad' ones. MLB Trade Rumors had an article on the family feud and apparently Mike Elias (apparently a very smart guy) was clever enough to have some 'non-interference' stuff in his contract. Maybe there is a scenario where the bad brother takes over somehow, Elias leaves, and they make a bunch of dumb decisions. Otherwise you have to think they are well posed for a good run.

Mike Trout has quietly hit a home run in 6 straight games

 

And still has less total bases/OPS/wRC+ than Bo across those 6 games. :P

Mariners had a 6-1 lead heading to the 8th inning, gave up 1 in the 8th and 5 in the top of the 9th and are now losing.

 

Now finish them off Braves bullen.

 

J-Rod says not so fast... s***, lol.

I was just browsing some stats and found something crazy: George Kirby has 21 MLB starts. His career high in walks in a game is 1.
