Happy Staturday Birdland! It’s been a fun, Jay-defeating, week of baseball. Let’s get to some stats!
This week the Orioles won a three game series against the Blue Jays, continuing a few impressive trends:
After winning on Thursday, the Orioles are 9-3 against the Toronto Blue Jays in 2017.
The Orioles are 25-19 against AL East teams in 2017.
Believe or not, Ubaldo Jimenez threw an impressive game on Thursday:
Ubaldo joined Mike Mussina and Erik Bedard as the only Orioles with two or more starts throwing 8 or more strikeouts, 0 earned runs, 2 or fewer hits, and 1 or 0 walks.
Random stats are always fun and that’s how we’ll end this week:
On Wednesday, the Orioles were 81-81 with a -81 run differential over their last 162 games.
