BSL: Quick Hits On The Orioles As They Head To Chicago

Excellent article, Chris. Enjoyed reading it. OBP ranking is embarrassing for a team on pace to win 100 games.

[BSLSteveBirrer]

Yeah the on pace to win X number of games is a bit misleading. Just a few games ago they were on pace for what 110? Then 108. Now 100.

 

Ok teams have off stretches. I hope that's all this is and they turn it on this weekend. But if they can't throttle the White Sox then I will be firmly in the worried camp. 2-2 is hardly acceptable this weekend. Gotta see 3-1 or even better lets broom them.

Not 100% relevant to the article but a general baseball observation inspired by this: basically every playoff team is still gonna have parts of the roster people feel meh about. The Braves have a .609 winning percentage and are doing it with much worse production from Olson, Acuna and Riley and even the Phillies with the best record are paying Castellanos quite a bit of money for an underwhelming .565 OPS

The only criticism I have about this article, is this "If you lose one of Burnes / Bradish / Rodriguez to any significant injury"

Don't say that

 

In the heat of battle, I can be pretty negative about miscues, bad swings, etc. That's one reason I don't usually participate in game threads. Despite this icy cold offensive spell, I am still confident in this team. I'm not confident in a healthy Means ever returning to the rotation.
