It’s always better if the Orioles win their last game of the year rather than lose it because that means our last memory of the team headed into the offseason is a good one and not a bad one. The O’s achieved this on Sunday afternoon, triumphing against the Toronto Blue Jays in their regular season finale in Buffalo, 7-5.
The Orioles close out the year 25-35, a pace in a typical 162 game season good for 65 wins, if you round to the nearest whole number. That’s better than what most people expected from this crew back in February.
