Aren’t the O’s on the exact same trajectory?The Red Sox are currently on pace to shatter the MLB record for most runs scored in a season, 1,220 in 1894 by the Boston Beaneaters.
They are also on pace to shatter the MLB record for most runs allowed in a season, so there's that.
Yes,plus Orioles have 10 stolen bases in 2 games which has them off to a great stolen base trajectory.Aren’t the O’s on the exact same trajectory?
It wouldn’t shock me to see many different records broken this yearAren’t the O’s on the exact same trajectory?
I fear Ricky’s record is going to get beat - not by the best and fastest, but by exploiting the rule.Yes,plus Orioles have 10 stolen bases in 2 games which has them off to a great stolen base trajectory.
No, because with the new schedule, they won't get as many times to face Sale and the Red Sox as in years past.Aren’t the O’s on the exact same trajectory?
I will bet all of @absintheofmalaise 's retirement fund that that won't happen.Let’s take 2 out of three today!

What are your thoughts on BABIP? And don't listen to @E5 Yaz No one else does.New member (lurker I guess you call it here.) I had to join after last night and following the threads here. Lowell native that moved to Florida for work. Been a Sox fan since 1997. Let’s take 2 out of three today!
He did us a solid.Manfred - Embedded Sox
Ask not for whom BABIP hungers...What are your thoughts on BABIP? And don't listen to @E5 Yaz No one else does.
These are fun.O’s had the game but dropped the ball
and had to face Adam Duvall
who, with our offense piping hot,
walked it off with a monster shot.
A miracle for April Fool’s!
This team certainly has the tools
to make the season super fun -
to go on a post season run –
to be among the all-time greats
If pitching just cooperates.
Let’s hope that Houck gets us on track
and watch the Sox win back-to-back.

Must be the league wide offense.....Seems like that OPS+ ought to be higher.Looking at Duvall in Baseball Reference. He's got lots of black this year.
Leading the league (or maybe tied for the lead) in:
Runs: 4
3B: 1
HR: 2
RBI: 6
OPS: 2.156
OPS plus: 479
TB: 14
He'll come in late to hit a pinch hot BOMB.They still don't trust Casas against a lhp, I guess. I'm not saying "they" are wrong.
I like it. I think it’s important in terms of luck for pitchers and hitters, both good and bad. It give you an idea if a player is going to regress or not. I’m kind of a stats nerd so I should fit in well here it seems.What are your thoughts on BABIP? And don't listen to @E5 Yaz No one else does.
Very well, I expect.I like it. I think it’s important in terms of luck for pitchers and hitters, both good and bad. It give you an idea if a player is going to regress or not. I’m kind of a stats nerd so I should fit in well here it seems.

I’ll take less than 7 as a big stepLet's start small here. Howsabout no runs in the first inning today? Then if that's done, build on it. Maybe allow less than, say, five in the game?
Baby steps. Baby steps.
This is good because he's a legendary slow starter.Duval's early excellence has bought him an awful lot of rope.
