Hello, friends.
To those who still harbor wild dreams of the Orioles making the postseason, they are still 5.5 games back of the Twins for the second wild card spot in the American League. However, with Friday’s loss, the Orioles tragic number - the number of Orioles losses and Twins wins that will eliminate them - is now just 10 with 14 games to play.
In short, the Orioles could now win every remaining game and still not even be guaranteed to make the playoffs if someone else ahead of them is even hotter than that - and let’s be honest, the Orioles aren’t going to win every remaining game.
