I hate this year's Orioles so much. They can defend. They can't run. Their rotation features plugs like Gallardo, Jimenez, and Miley.
Their success doesn't really make sense, but they've been good for 4 years now and I think you have to acknowledge that Buck Showalter does a fantastic job managing the team, and Dan Duquette does good work by the only evaluation criteria that actually matter, even if we don't really understand how/why it's effective.
