They do have a good offense, at least in the in the top half of their lineup, and AJ Hinch is really good at getting the most out of his pitchers no matter who it is.

So um they're still a team to watch despite getting swept.

And really the AL Central itself, even though they were just swept, is still up for grabs.

Yeah, I think um, you know, Mike Golias sort of lamented after this year's trade deadline having said a couple of years ago when they won the division and made the playoffs like, Oh, it's just lift off from here and we have this core and you know, we're ready to go and and compete for years on end because ultimately you never know what's going to happen, making those declarations sound really good at the time and then they can come back to bite you like they have with the Orioles.

And

The last couple of years the Orioles have been a weird team.

Gunnar Henderson taking a massive step back.

Back to back seasons from his twenty twenty-four was not something that was foreseeable.

Um Adley Rutschman

getting hurt a couple of years ago and taking a long time to recover from that injury in terms of what it did to his power was not foreseeable.

even earlier this season, a lot of their pitchers going down with with injury early this season was not necessarily foreseeable.

So they've had a lot go wrong for them.

Um that doesn't mean that the future isn't bright there, but they're not a team that necessarily intended to

back into the playoffs this year and

They might just do that now.

Again, run differential.

They're in the negatives like most of those wild card.

Contenders, it would not surprise me if they got more into the negatives just based on the talent that they're traded away, but

At the same time, if you're winning games and you end up making the playoffs, nobody's really going to question how you got there, even if it's a relatively short playoff stay.
