I cannot express in words how much I love this team! They have so much fun, they really care about each other, and they are so bought into the team mission! There is no one real superstar, any player on any given day can be the hero! We've seen it so many times from guys like Adley and Gunnar, but having players like O'Hearn and Gibson who can just step up and make it easier on the young guys to not have to carry the team has been a joy to watch! Really looking forward to seeing what they can do in October!
Such a likable team (Astros fan here). Given the Astros choke job I seek solace in the O's. They remind me of what the Astros were in 2015-2016 ... without the cheating ;)
@markjohnson7488 3 games isn't a re-emergence. I love Means, and I'm glad he's back...but anyone who think he's what gets them over the top is fooling themselves. If Baltimore wants to win anything in the postseason, their bats will have to lead the way.
What I find really amazing from Gunnar is his leadership. He is probably youngest player but he's the heart and soul of the team. He plays hard and smart. The sky is the limit for him and the O's would be dumb to not sign him early
@@edude_127 I think Gunnar is the face of the team going forward. The kid could truly be great. The birds don't win that first 4 games series against the Rays without Gunnar. I like Adley but the skillset is not the same. Not taking anything away from Adley but Gunnar seems to be a real game changing pick for Elias right now.
Damn the beers cold and these boys are ready to roll into the playoffs. Let’s get this WS back in birdland 🧡 can’t wait to see the yard bumpin in a few weeks. Nothing like it!
Two interesting facts about the city of Baltimore. The first city to win the World Series and Super Bowl the same season (1970) and the Orioles (moved from St.Louis in 1954) and Ravens used to be the Browns.
As a Blue Jays fan, the Baltimore Orioles have my ire since they have beat us badly this season. However as a fan of good baseball the Baltimore Orioles are fun to watch.
It bothers me when people say "yeah of course they're good now after being bad for so long." They literally had 4 down years (2018-2021) and if a rebuild is so easy, then why don't more teams do it?? The Pirates, Angels, Reds, and many other teams have not had any notable seasons in recent history. The Orioles deserve a lot of credit for what they've been able to accomplish recently, especially with their very low payroll.
Yes, the Gunnar pick in the 2nd round knocked it out of the park, and countless others in the pipeline. Look at Basallo, Mayo, and Holliday. 3 players who have serious potential coming up over the next 2 years
To think about it. Ozzie drafted Ogden and Ray first round, that changed the franchise. Elias got Gunnar and Adley round 1 and 2. We will see how the latter turns out. One thing I know for sure, Orioles will be a playoff/WS contender for a long time
@@user-pp6bp7vp5u What I mean by Cinderella story is none of the Sports analyst gave the orioles a chance to go into the post season let alone winning the division. We are talking about a te from 2018 to 2021 minus the 2020 abridged season had over 100 plus loses, to now a team that is 3 game wins away from having 100 wins this year.
@@joshuamelton9148 What is conspicuously absent from your analysis is the 2022 season - ya know, just last year - when the Orioles turned things around in a major way. Absent last year's record and, more importantly, HOW they won I would be inclined to agree with you. Yet, it happened. You, me and all of the baseball world witnessed it last year so it should not surprise anyone that they would be competitive and win.... the Orioles have admittedly outperformed, but even the pundits knew the O's were on the rise. Moreover, given the circumstances it was more than reasonable to suspect the Orioles would use last season as a springboard into '23 - especially so for a talented team with great team chemistry. Or do you not agree the Orioles possess such qualities?
@@user-pp6bp7vp5u I did not forget about 2022. That season turned around when Adley Rutchman made his debut in May of 2022. Them finishing above 500 for the first time since 2016 and in the hardest divsion in all of Baseball is amazing. This year they had to prove to everyone that the 2022 season was no fluke. Living in Baltimore, I can tell you first hand that this is the first time in a long time since 2014 that I have seen people this exciting about the Orioles.
Just hope are pitching doesn't get tired and are bullpen doesn't become to overworked.There are certain relief pitchers who i could not trust in a high leverage situation.I wish we could have added the right pieces pitching wise at the trade deadline.Fujinami and Flaherty IMO certainly can't be trusted come Post season.
Getting the one seed is everything my dude … I’ve been a fan since 1988 … i used to live 5 mins from memorial stadium.. outside the 1997 season (2014 a close second) this closest to a World Series team I’ve seen in my lifetime
@@rayshardsmith2546 I am a lifelong O's fan and fellow lifelong Md resident. I am sorry and your entitled to your opinion. Getting the one seed is not everything. You can win or lose just as equal whether it's home or away. The last time I checked the Orioles have tied the single season record for away wins this year. Yes it's nice to get a buy in the first round and gives them more playoff games at home. It gives the position players and worn out pitching staff a rest. Will they need to shake off a little rust in between there first playoff game. We will soon find out. Bottom line is just win baby.
@@kashshhds8824 It can be an advantage or a disadvantage. It can allow your team to heal injuries and rest tired pitchers. It can be a disadvantage because your team can be playing hot then with a weeks rest they have to stay phocused and hope they don't come back rusty or flat. It's like starting over again. How many times in the NFL do you see teams who have clinched early playoff spots and rest players or the two weeks in between the super bowl. This effects players and teams differently so I think it's more of a mental thing I can't relate to it, because I am not a player. I can just comment on what I have seen the effects it has had on teams in the past. Ok with all that being said I call things how I see them. I hope the O's win the world series, however with the stacked team Atlanta has they would have to choke not to win. The Dodgers are no picnic either. Atlanta has had teams before that looked the same way and choked. Anything can happen and I hope the O's are a team of destiny this year.
No offense to the Orioles, but when you purposely tank for five straight seasons to get the first pick in the draft, you should he pretty good after drafting at the top for five years
They didn't purposely tank. That's a false narrative often propagated by the misinformed, naive or envious, but for sake of argument let's say you're right. While it is indeed true the Orioles have picked 5th or better overall in 4 out of 5 previous years, if you actually took the time to do your homework you'd understand that only one of those players (Rutschman) has had a meaningful impact on this year's season. Rutschman has a lot of promise but he's not THE reason for the team's success. So, obviously, there must be others reasons why the Orioles are doing so well despite their draft positioning. Care to try again??
Yes and it looks like the O's have a window of about a decade with the talent on the team currently and they have players like Basallo, Mayo, Holliday, Kjerstad, just to name a few who all have the potential to be really good coming up in the next few years
What about terrible teams that have tanked seasons for the last decade? Pirates, reds, etc didn’t just come out of no where with an amazing team to win 100 games in a season. Obviously there’s more going on besides “pick good player win game”
Moving the wall out made OPACY more fair. Prior to the change, a right handed hitter didn't even need to barrel up a ball to hit a homer. From 2019-21 (before they moved the wall), OPACY was the most homer friendly park in baseball (22% more homers than average). Because of that, they had to make a change. It's worked. Last year and this year, OPACY is a below average park for homers.
The last time I checked the Orioles don't play every one of there games at home. So what's your excuse for why they have the most wins ever in team history on the road. It's the same rules for both teams at home. There smart to have moved the left field wall back. Benefits there pitchers. There smart to stack there lineup with left handed hitters to take advantage of the right field wall.Everbody hated a winner
I'm rooting for the Orioles in the play offs. What they have achieved this year is amazing. Go O's!
I cannot express in words how much I love this team! They have so much fun, they really care about each other, and they are so bought into the team mission!

Lets go O's
From 115 losses to three shy of 100 wins. Orioles Magic is Definitely BACK!!!
Then 101 wins 🏆
Well deserved and this is coming from a Red Sox’s fan.
🤜🏽🤛🏽 thanks man cuz it’s been rough watching u guys win every year all my life .. u and the damn Yankees 😂
Agreed good for the orioles
We've been waiting a good minute. Thanks!
Thank you very much Sox fan
Mabuhay Baltimore Orioles ❤❤❤😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉....
Absolutely love this team - baseball is BACK in Baltimore!
Such a likable team (Astros fan here). Given the Astros choke job I seek solace in the O's. They remind me of what the Astros were in 2015-2016 ... without the cheating ;)
I mean they do have the guy that rebuilt the Astros in Elias😁
I would be surprised if the Orioles do not win the WS this year. Those guys are killing it.
I would be surprised if they DO win it. I love this team, but their rotation isn't top level and losing Bautista is really really tough.
Was just talking about this at the bar earlier.
Id say the same thing if the Atlanta braves didnt exist
I'm just replying because you also have an owl profile pic! But I agree with you🤞
@markjohnson7488 3 games isn't a re-emergence. I love Means, and I'm glad he's back...but anyone who think he's what gets them over the top is fooling themselves. If Baltimore wants to win anything in the postseason, their bats will have to lead the way.
Im a Jays fan, but this Os team is just great. Really looking forward to see what they do this postseason. I think they have a deep run ahead of them.
Heston & holliday next too shine
Represent Baltimore Represent 🫡 We love you and you inspire us ❤ 🏆 I forget the trials and tribulations of life watching you guys ball ⚾️ 😅
What I find really amazing from Gunnar is his leadership. He is probably youngest player but he's the heart and soul of the team. He plays hard and smart. The sky is the limit for him and the O's would be dumb to not sign him early
I’d argue Adley’s the leader and face of this team, but I’d be starting riots if we don’t sign them both for good extensions.

Orioles Magic is back in 2023! Lets keep rockin it steady in September. Divisional title here we come!
I watched that Ripkin game - PURE MAGIC! Glad they are havingva great season and go far in the playoffs.
I love where this team is headed
Two interesting facts about the city of Baltimore. The first city to win the World Series and Super Bowl the same season (1970) and the Orioles (moved from St.Louis in 1954) and Ravens used to be the Browns.
Also the only city to have a Grey Cup and a Lombardi.
I love the fact they do the little things well!
As a Blue Jays fan, the Baltimore Orioles have my ire since they have beat us badly this season. However as a fan of good baseball the Baltimore Orioles are fun to watch.
The Baltimore Underdogs
this is Orioles magic!
Orioles magic, feel it happen! O R I. O L E S --- ORIOLES!!!!!
I've met Kyle Gibson. Great guy

This is American Baseball. Go O's!!!!
GO GET'EM, FELLAS!!!
We need to get tony a ring
Lot of credit to Adley, he is the captain. You can build and recruit and farm all you want but the guys still need to show up and win and be led!
Man i love feel good storylines 🙏
Awesome segment.
Lfg oriole magic
Big Game Saturday Boys I'll see you at the Yard!!! LETS GO O's!!!!!!
Let's give credit where it is due. MIKE ELIAS is the reason why the Orioles are back
Yes, the Gunnar pick in the 2nd round knocked it out of the park, and countless others in the pipeline. Look at Basallo, Mayo, and Holliday. 3 players who have serious potential coming up over the next 2 years
Vamos Orioles
Just like Ozzie , In Mike i trust … if you from BALTIMORE… you know this
To think about it. Ozzie drafted Ogden and Ray first round, that changed the franchise. Elias got Gunnar and Adley round 1 and 2. We will see how the latter turns out. One thing I know for sure, Orioles will be a playoff/WS contender for a long time
@@hello--w0rld That is crazy, two HOF players in the 1st round lmao
Its really impresive lets go O's
Tony Santander so underrated
Idk why I thought Adley Ruschman was Joe Burrows for a second 😂
Go O’s
My future ace
Been waiting sooooo long.....
Let’s go baby
Increíble.
It was not the season they wanted, but the one they needed.
Gunnar Henderson can we trust him?
Let's go O's
I if aint my phils... go Os!!!
1983 😮
They’ll be back next year
We've got 99 wins and the magic number is 1.
