if i was you i would make sure to point that out. they only had the o's winning 74.

Yeah cause they had the O's winning 69 games last year how did that work out?

Heard Eiland today saying August/September returns were what he was expecting for Duffy/Paulino. I'm sure that's a pessimistic estimate - Danny thinks he'll be back by June - but good for all of us to keep in mind.

It didn't.

The Orioles were incredibly good/lucky in one-run games. You outperformed your pythag ratings by 11 games, the most in baseball by far. It was nearly 2x as big a difference as the next-closest team (San Francisco).

16-2 in extra innings. (next closest was 11-5. 20 percent gap in WP%)
29-9 in one run games. (+10 compared to league average)

Those are ratios that are highly unlikely to be repeated. Yes, Baltimore had an excellent bullpen in 2012... but even a LITTLE slippage from that group could blow up a lot of what made Baltimore's

It's perfectly possible Baltimore will win just as much in 2013, but the O's would need to be a much better team to do that. It's also possible the O's are actually BETTER in 2013 than 2012 but have a worse record.

Stick to twitter and the orioles repository thread. You can't even type a grammatically correct sentence.

No need to throw out legitimate stats, trolls don’t like stats.

I’m beginning to think C&O is really an Indians/Tigers/White Sox fan. Why else spend so much time annoying Royals fans?

Mr. Trauma, where's the subject in your first incomplete sentence? Orioles is a proper noun, yet you didn't capitalize it. It is also possessive in the manner used, but you didn't include the appropriate apostrophe.

Go Royals! GTFO if it isn't a worthy post.

Grammar police coming to lay the hammer down on a message board!

Nothing I hate more than when ppl moan about grammar on a message board. In this day and age, most ppl are posting on a cell phone. As long as they get the point across, who cares if it's grammatically correct. You ain't gettin' graded on an essay here.

Fail

The subject is "you," as the first sentence is a command. That part is grammatically correct.

This thread is starting to already develop a slight case of the AIDS.

Man, when Duffy and Paulino are back to normal, our bullpen is going to be DEEP!

no need for common sense, he doesnt understand it

Yup. When he gets his shit pushed in he randomly and conveniently disappears.

Nope we will see in 2013 what happens. No need to talk about it.
