For a while now this season, the Orioles have been in this pattern of losing a dumb game or two, having a lot of people feel like this is surely the swoon away from the top of the league’s standings, and then they win a couple of games and all the superlative facts start rolling in. That’s also true right now, where the Orioles have the best record in all of MLB and in fact have become the first team to reach 70 wins within a season for the first time since 1979. That was a pretty good year.
