Orioles Beat Three "Cying" Pitchers and Other Catch-Up





I am really sorry for being on a bit of a hiatus these last few weeks. I had a bit of stress from school and when I did have time to write I could only write a one-liner. Anyways, here it finally is after two weeks and some procrastination.
Orioles Final Games (I thought I posted this, but I guess not)

Orioles vs. Red Sox
Game 1 LOST 3-5
Game 2 WON 7-2
Game 3 LOST 2-3

Orioles vs. Yankees
Game 1 LOST 0-5
Game 2 WON 5-4
Game 3 WON 9-5
Game 4 LOST 5-6

Orioles vs. Blue Jays
Game 1 LOST 2-4
Game 2 LOST 2-4
Game 3 WON 1-0

Orioles vs. Tigers
(ALCS)

Game 1 WON 3-12
Game 2 WON 6-7
Game 3 WON 2-1

This is the farthest the Orioles have gone for a long time. Since 1997. It was very amazing how they were able to go against all odds and win against all three Cy Young pitchers. I don't even know how they did it. I do feel bad for the Tigers fans though after all they've been through with bankruptcy and this was probably their only everything. That and football. The next series hasn't been looking good for the Orioles at all. So it's probably the end soon. I am not giving up hope, but the royals are a hard team to beat especially when they've got a song named after them. They always steal bases and it's just not possible to prevent that. The Orioles only key thing really is home runs which have been at a loss recently. I wish the Orioles the best of luck through these last few games if they can find a way to pull through. They're going to really play hard these next few games. Mainly the pitchers. 

In the long term the Orioles need to start investing in pitchers. Their infielders and outfielders stock is fine. They should look to make contracts with their catcher, Matt Wieters and right fielder, Nick Markakis. But as for pitchers they really need to be willing to spend more money on them in order to get the best. The Orioles need to get their hands in the free agency in order to pay a decent amount of money for a pitcher who can secure wins. With Ubaldo Jimenez last year, they paid the money but he didn't succeed in securing wins. If they work on their pitching they're a potential winning team. 

Now, I haven't stopped believing the Orioles as it might seem like it. I'm just stating that the odds aren't looking quite good right now and in order to secure that position of being in the playoffs often so they have more chances IF they don't make it.
