.500/6-6/36-73

Even though they still rocking the worst record in baseball, the Orioles manage to be .500 when I show up at the Yard. In fact, I’m also on a four game winning streak starting with that amazing win against the Marlins, then the final, sweeping game against the Nats, onto a delicious extra inning win against the Rays, and last nights bombastic nine inning awesomeness versus the Angels. Maybe things are looking up?

I had originally wanted 75 wins from this team. Now, I’m just happy for them to play some competitive baseball. No more rolling over and not making a game of it. They’ve got to go out and make the rest of the season fun.

This is what to watch from the team for the rest of the season. First, our young pitchers need to step up. They need to pitch into the later innings and keep the team in the game. Next, the batters have to start hitting to their potential. These guys are probably average hitters, but so far this year they’ve been below average. The Law of Averages is gonna kick in. Our bats just need to hang in tight. Third, defense has to be solid. They don’t have to be all Brooks Robinsons, but they need to minimize stupid blunders. Finally, the bullpen has to be solid. They need to hold leads and shutdown rallies.

That all sounds easy. Let’s hope we finish strong.
