So what does this chart say? This chart says, with all things being equal, the Orioles don't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the Chicago White Sox tonight. If Millwood was a professional slow-pitch softball pitcher, an 8.84 ERA wouldn't be half bad, unfortunately the Orioles aren't playing beer-league softball. Luckily for the O's, all things aren't equal, and they have something that no other team has. Buck Showalter. Baltimore's new manager has made an immediate impact. If the baseball season started August 3rd, the O's would be the best team in baseball, 4-0. Look for Millwood to impress "I don't take any shit" Showalter, and put in a quality start.
The O's are going for their 5th win in a row, and if they get it, their win streak will comprise 13.1% of their wins on the season. yep thats right, 13.1% of their wins will have come in the 5 games Showalter has managed. The O's have been that bad this season. The O's have been so bad that if they win out, they will only finish 89-73, likely missing the playoffs. I still love them though.
Go O's!
