Hello, friends.
There are now 177 days remaining until the next Orioles game. This will be long and possibly strange offseason. For the playoff teams, it’s not even the offseason yet, and there will at least be baseball to entertain us, including two different tiebreaker games to settle who wins the NL Central and West and who must then turn around and play in the wild card game.
The good news, such as it is, is that the most miserable Orioles season that anybody has ever seen is over. Adam Jones and Buck Showalter, if they were here for their last games, got as nice a send-off as could have been hoped for with a 4-0 victory in the season finale.
