Don’t worry, nobody at FanGraphs actually believes the Orioles are good. The tone of this article is the kind of expected two-sigma outlier you would see if you wrote a large number of articles under the belief that the Orioles are bad and lucky. If we saw a sustained number of articles over an extended period of time, we might revise our thinking, but for now, we have to trust the model and write this one off as a fluke.
The O’s finished the season with the 5th best predicted record by Base Runs and 4th best by PythagenPat….I think we can all agree they are a good team this year
fangraphs said it.
we’re a good team

The O’s have outplayed the projections for 3 years now. They’re historically flukey!
