Orioles won their 47th game tonight, matching last year's total with 17 still to play, largely against weak opposition. Fangraphs projects them to end up with 54-55 wins. We were too pessimistic!

They have settled into a nice groove where every time they win they look like a good team and every time they lose it's more comical and ridiculous than depressing (this week: giving up a walk-off grand slam in the 12th to the worst team in baseball, losing 5-3 after giving up two runs on a dropped third strike the pitcher failed to cover)

rarely before has losing 108 games felt like such a step forward

O's finish better than anyone on this thread dared predict, Pythag record of 60-102, some decent talent found among the players abandoned by other teams (John Means, Hanser Alberto, Anthony Santander, etc.), a lot of fun memories (strangely many of them involving Stevie Wilkerson.) I enjoyed this!

The Orioles had the 2nd-worst record in MLB in 2019. But they led the league in heartfelt, handwritten ‘thank you‘ notes. In a twist on fan appreciation, some season-ticket holders are getting notes from players saying “thanks & hang in there.” The story: https://t.co/dZ8OjbkcsV— Dan Connolly (@danconnolly2016) October 3, 2019
