Baltimore Orioles Thread: Orioles Magic

[Leftwich]

I was so happy to be at the game yesterday and be part of a game where we end the cycle of losing seasons. Now playoffs are what i want.

Let us take 4 from you guys next week and then we'll talk.

1 of 2 from Oakland, I'll be happy if we can end up taking 2 from Seattle while we are up there. Clinched our first winning season with the win today, which was a foregone conclusion at some point. Little worried about Boston trying to play spoiler at the end of the week though.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Next up is Boston, who may be motivated to play spoiler against the Orioles. Great series against the Mariners and the arms get a much-needed day off today after all of the extras played. Also, great start from Saunders yesterday, shame he didn't get the win.

 

[Leftwich]

Just got my Orioles Tickets for the ALDS if they make it.

I'll be out of town for the wildcard

THIS FEELS AMAZING!

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Also got tickets for the Wild Card and all three potential ALDS games this morning.

:dance3::freshdance2::dance2::freshdance3::cantwait::tyrone::freshdance::fuckyeah:

Magic number is 8, I believe.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Very possible tomorrow after taking an extra innings game from Boston today. Chris Tillman takes the mound tomorrow.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Split double-header with the Jays, lose a half game on the Yankees. Still, Orioles are in the drivers seat for the top spot in the Wild Card.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Assuming they do make the WC game, who starts that game? I think you can throw out Saunders and Britton, which would leave Gonzalez, Chen, and Tillman. Chen has been struggling recently so I'm going to throw him out too, which leaves Gonzalez and Tillman...both of whom have been pretty good. I think I'd go with Gonzalez.

Only 6 games left of the regular season. What a fucking season its been.

I know, I didn't even expect .500. Loving this season, and it's been a great year in general for the DC/Baltimore area for our sports teams as well.

Caps did a good job getting back into the playoff picture and I guess I didn't count the Wizards, though when Nene was on the floor, you had a pretty good product on the floor.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Is there any doubt on who gets the ball in the Wild Card game?

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Ideally but I have a feeling they are going to need him in one of those games against TB. It has to be either him or Gonzalez though. Buck knows this...

 

[Leftwich]

Bucks gonna pull a move out of left field and let Hammel start the WC. Purely speculation. :shifty:

:runaway:

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I could see it...especially since Buck will have the playoff roster for that one game series loaded with our best relievers. Hammel is the best pitcher on the roster, so if he can go...why not? Whoever starts really will only need to get through 6...maybe even 5, with the lead.

Perhaps Buck will surprise everyone and start Bundy. Wouldn't that be something. I just see Gonzalez and Tillman needing to go in that Rays series and there is no way I'm starting Britton or Saunders in a one and done. But the Yankees lost today and the O's are currently winning so perhaps a miracle will happen and that WC game won't even be a factor for us.

 

[Goober]

Bundy starting WC game would be awesome.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

LOLSox. The only concern I have is that they have the Yankees up for their final series, and I'm not certain they will put up a fight.
