- Hey everyone!
There have been quite a few surprises to start the 2023 season. However, for the 2nd straight year, the Orioles are one of the biggest surprises in the league. At this point, we have to accept that they are a good team and they're only going to get better.

To be honest in 2022 the Orioles showed a lot of potential and were super fun to watch, I'm not surprised they're doing what they're doing in 2023.
Too many people distracted by the mega contracts handed by the Phillies (my team btw), the Mets and so on.
And historically over the last 25 years we normally have strong starts but by July we fall off. So I'm not going to get hyped until we can do this in July and August.
I mean the phillies and mets mean nothing to the O's chance of making the playoffs.... I think everyone was distracted by the Yankees, Rays and Blue jays in the AL East to think the O's while young stood any chance...
Nah, they do a form of this every year. Give it some time
Who else misses odor
@@praise_baby_jesusit's August and we're in 1st by 3 games. Are you hyped yet?
Shout-out to Mike Elias and Sig Mejdal for the successful rebuild. This is an exciting team. Last year was so fun to watch, and this year has been even better
Also the patience in both hiring Brandon Hyde & allowing him to manage the team through those painful 100+ loss seasons & sticking with him now as his hard work is now showing with how great of a start the 2023 season has been. Playing .650 ball or better won't continue all season, as every team will have bad stretches. But just keeping focus on the next game ( yes biggest sports Cliché, but is true) and winning each 3-4 game series, they will continue to silence the doubters, as they are a great & fun team to watch!!! Go O's !!! '
An O's vid! Thanks a billion SportStorm! My boys are making me so proud!
Lets Go! My birds are getting the recognition they deserve
Orioles r birds😂
Fax bro
You're going to have to get through my Texas rangers!
They have already proven that they can beat the Orioles in a series during the regular season, we'll have to see what happens in October if they meet 😅
I know, I’m so proud to be an orioles fan again.
Only a true orioles fan can understand this feeling ❤️
As an orioles fan I'm happy we're good again
Again? when were they ever good?
@@aidanbiton4105 Mid to late 60's and early 70's
@@erikestrada7470 oh only 80 years ago
I guess all those years in the celar lead to a decent amount of prospects to make them competitive once again. Hope they keep them this time
@Aidan Biton a long long time ago, I'm the 60s, 30 years before I was born
I love seeing Baltimore playing this good!!!!
So damn good for baseball!
It's always satisfying seeing a rebuild come together, a bit more payroll and this team could be really scary in the upcoming years.
I’ve been an O’s fan since I can remember. Watching Jim Palmer pitch at Memorial Stadium, Earl Weaver and his antics, Cal Ripken Jr, Mike Mussina, and so on. But they haven’t been fun to watch lately until last year! I think every Baltimore fan felt stabbed in the heart when they traded Trey Mancini, but we still held onto hope and we finally had a winning season! 3 games back from a playoff spot was good for us. No big trades and acquisitions in the off season, so a lot of fans were concerned. Now it’s go time. These guys have gotten so much better this year and if they can keep this up, we might see the playoffs for the first time in almost a decade.
Man Memorial Stadium was MAGICAL….I had a huge railing that my brother and I drunkenly ripped from the concrete at the very last Ravens game there…should of never tore it down, should’ve been like Fenway
Good video. Thank you for taking note of what the O's are doing (unlike a certtain so called "worldwide leader in sports"). A couple of other things to add:
- Not long after his debut last year, Rutschman had a pretty bad stretch. I can't remember the exact numbers, but a good sized portion of the fan base was clamoring for him to go back to AAA. But the team's record was so bad at that point, it didn't hurt to leave him at the big league level and let him works things out (which he clearly did). Rodriguez is in a similar kind of rut at the moment, but with the team solidly in contention it makes more sense to let him straighten things out in Norfolk.
- The O's have the 3rd (or 4th) best record in MLB, and their best pitcher (Means) hasn't thrown a single pitch this year.
- The reason they could afford to move Lopez last year was the emergence of Batista. He became one of the most dominant closers in the league, and he's continuing to do so this year.
- Despite the way the "experts" ranked the farm system for all those years, the core of this group (Mullins, Santander, Mountcastle, Hays, Means, Batista, Rodriguez) were all in the system before the tanking/rebuild began.
- That isn't to say Elias doesn't deserve credit. He's had the Midas Touch when it comes to player acquisition. He got one of the pitchers you didn't mention (Kyle Bradish) in what has turned out to be a one sided trade for Dylan Bundy. He's found guys like Mateo, and made good, affordable FA signings like Gibson. And it seems like he's hit on just about all of his high round draft choices. From Rutschman and Henderson, to Westburg, Cowser, Kjerstad, Ortiz, Mayo, Norby, Holliday, etc - they've all performed remarkably well - which puts them in great position to get someone like Giolito at the deadline.
The Orioles went to 6 world series between 1966 and 1983 (winning 3 of those). It's hard to believe they haven't returned to a single one in the last 40 years. But the pieces are in place to finally end that streak.
Happy to see the oreos doing so well. Not my team but I'm always rooting for them to do good.
Mullins has been so good for us… hopefully this injury he suffered today doesn’t keep him out too long ☹️
yeah hopefully it's not too bad
They ended the 2022 season hot and have carried it into this one so far
Which means we'll cool off eventually. Like we always do going into the summer months
We lost Mullins for a while, so I hope this lovely video still applies :/
Proud of the O’s 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Thanks for the Video .
We've come a long way since the 2016 wild card game
Used to go to a ton of orioles games used to take trips from jersey to go. It’s great seeing them be competitive again and they’re such a fun young team.
So you stopped going because they struggled? 😊
@@RO-pg9hw No for a more unfortunate reason my uncle who used to take me passed away and haven’t been able to go since. Don’t always assume shit my dude.
Love the vid thanks for showing the O's some spotlight.
First in the AL east now. I know it might not last but as an orioles fan, its nice to see. I've been waiting for all my life for them to be good
Amazing upload and great information. Keep up the grind 💯
Thank you!
Great video as usual!
Been a long time coming. Sure we've had some unexpected runs in years past, but to watch this ball club grow into something special from basically the ground up is something special. Loving it right now
Go O's!!! Been a pleasant surprise this season, sweeping Toronto in Toronto, taking the series in New york I've been wearing my orioles gear super proudly this year! ⚾⚾⚾☀️
lol yankees are injured right now and besides have owned you for DECADES, pathetic really.
All in together now!! GO!!!! O'S!!!!!
🧡⚾️🖤 Orioles Magic!
Oooo it’s cool to finally see a good orioles vid
Loved this video!! Lets go o's!!!!!!
Happy to see the Orioles doing good!
As a Mets fan I’ve been keeping up with them this season and they are so much to watch hope they keep it up
Let go orioles i been a orioles fan since the 90s we sufferd a lot happy that we are winners now
Thanks for the jinx. Cedric goes down just before this is posted.
Excellent video as always Man
BTW, you think you could ever do a deep dive on the success the Tampa Bay Rays have had since 2008?
In the last 15 years they've been one of the top 3 teams pound for pound .. All with either the lowest or at best, bottom 4 in payroll.
Simply put, there has never been a franchise in the history of pro sports who has done so well with so little. Honestly, it's beyond belief.
I think of you unpack it it would be one of , if not your highest viewed video.
Go Os! 🖤🧡🏆
I saw the birds in person twice that year once in April and again in August. The team in August was a lot better by the eye test.
Orioles for years went after free agents that never paid off. Getting your house in order starts in the front office. Getting a plan, sticking to the plan, letting good young talent develop is the way. Been a long time.
Love finally seeing a positive orioles video!!!!
Adley's impact since 2022 is surreal.
been saying since he came adley has completely change the dynamic of the team, great bat and doing a hell of a job calling pitches
As a Braves fan, they remind me a lot of us in 2018. The big this will be how well the front office does retaining their talent
Unfortunately, the O's are in a much smaller market and will be lucky to retain their young talent, let alone bring in good veterans via trade or free agency like the Braves did. The sad reality of baseball.
@@brandondillman5841that’s what they want you to think the orioles were number 2 in payroll at one point there at a mid market
@@kashshhds8824 A long, long time ago. Things have changed since the early 1990s.
The Orioles operate like a small market team due to some of the contracts mentioned in this video. Hell Bobby Bonilla still collects 1.35 million a year from the O's until 2026 / though not as bad as the Mets paying him 1 million + until 2034 ( Have to check the actual numbers). But you can see why they are more cautious about large contracts, but they can afford to pay them. In next few years, starting with Mullins they will have to begin deciding who will be signed to large money & long-term contracts. The owner, Angelos's Son now in charge is the wild-card!! He was one who flirted with idea of moving team to Memphis. Orioles are part of Baltimore & new 99-100 year deal with city ended any rumors of team ever moving. But he he is not his Dad in terms of owning the team!!
I know Adam Frazier isn’t the flashiest signing but he has been a huge upgrade from Odor. But yes they need to do more the compete and that means spending more money and or making trades with some risk
Frazier is going to be good for years
Hopefully the teams pitching can improve in june. Watching game 3 of the orioles vs guardians was about as rough as a baseball game could be
Finally, the orioles are one of the most exciting teams in baseball, and the future is hopefully very bright!
At the beginning of last year I was reminding myself that I may not see Adley in the bigs until next season. Then I was surprised. Now, I’m convinced the only people surprised by the Os just haven’t been watching them. As someone geographically compelled to watch them, for the past three or four years, I can’t blame y’all.
I think the Jorge Lopez trade was read as the Os prolonging the rebuild. Instead it’s already paid off with Cano’s amazing start, and he’s one of three guys in that trade.
Mike Elias is very good at what he does. Hopefully he’s here for more than one WS win. John needs to think about what his father stood for during the strike and pay these guys.
Let’s👏Go👏Os👏.
It’s a tough road being an O’s fan. But I’m definitely starting to love this team
Baltimore has been such a fun team to watch
I am 71 and have followed baseball since I was a kid.
I am biased because I live in Baltimore.And I have my whole life.But for a Catcher,Adley Rutschman,
Is the fastest dude I have ever seen
Can’t wait to see what Jackson Holliday can do--if he’s anything like his dad, Baltimore has some serious talent and a franchise cornerstone type player on the way.
YES! Also don't forget about Colton Cowser. Os talent is deep
So glad the Os are finally doing good this year
Most had confidence in the team itself. Most had little confidence in the Starting Rotation, Mainly Gibson, Kremer, Bradish, Hall , Wells, and yes, Grayson. Know body could predict or knew how they would perform this season.
Adley is a fkn G, I'm not much for omg prospects but I saw his numbers coming in as a catcher and was like uhhhh ohhhhhh
can you make a video about the mighty 2023 oaklad athletics
LOl ya
I’m still skeptical, especially with the pitching staff having allowed more base hits, runs, and walks than in 2022, but I’m glad we’re showing we aren’t pushovers.
Let’s Go O’s ! West Baltimore born and raised & I have been an O’s fan since about 1977 😳 Ummmm ok and I am telling my age. But O’s Nation Anyhow ! ✌🏾
Dude I feel like your trying to jinx my boys in orange. I’m just praying we don’t blow it. I’d be happy with just a playoff berth at this point
THE BIRD BATH IS FUN AF
he's the new buster posey!
Now they are World Series favorites by adding the goat Aaron Hicks
Cant wait for Jackson to come up...
I wouldn’t say it’s too surprising. I mean the pitching has been better than expected for sure. But the two young teams I thought would have a huge leap this year were the orioles and Dbacks
Exactly Orioles have a ton of young young talent coming up now. They could be really good for a while if they can keep it together.
The real surprise this season are the Texas rangers.
They got really good all a sudden. That team is regularly beating other teams by 10 runs.
@@craigwheeler4760 agreed
I've always said about the Royals during their pennant runs: if we ain't losing, we ain't gonna win..
As a blue jays fan, props to the o’s
Orioles magic❤
The main reasons they are improved is the unbalanced schedule. Not playing the AL. East 19 times each. Also they pushed out the outfield walls
Great vid! But *dean kremer lol LETS GO OSSSS
Adley is taking names and kicking ass
This year so many teams that were mediocre or terrible a few year ago are near top in their division. I want to see some underdogs make it to the World Series this year. I kind of want the Orioles vs. Brewers
Losing Mullins for a few weeks due to a groin injury is gonna be difficult to replace. He's been arguably the most consistent and complete player so far this season. Hoping we see Cowser soon up in Baltimore to fill in until he comes back
You should do a video for the dbacks as well
Go Orioles. World Series Champions 2023
The O's are a FUN TEAM TO WATCH
Imagine, could you imagine where we would be? In late mid-september, the Orioles about to win the American League East...
2:42 That should be Dean Kremer, not Drew Kremer. Overall, it's a great video. Orioles have been scuffing lately and Mullins just got hurt.
Orioles are really good. To be a title contender they need to go trade for a good vetran pitcher. Means this season cant be relyed upon unfortunately. Orioles should take a few young prospects like DL Hall and Stowers and trade for another starting pitcher. Rodriguez has potential but isnt ready to be a playoff starting pitcher. In playoffs Rodriguez should be coming out of bullpen for now
Where not just a better team we are the team lets go O's
Been said don't sleep on Baltimore
shout out to the great city of buffalo being shown at the 1:21 mark. GO BILLS
And yes i went to like 10 of these games while they were here. It was a great year for sports especially during the plandemic.
can we get a vid on the rebuilding nats
Yea, I'm 100% sure the owner will muck this up. Sadly, until there is new owners my O's will remain a middling or worse team. However, I am enjoying the team's success so far this year and I hope it continues.
Let’s go O’s
Adley is our golden child.
as a dodger fan the orioles are underrated, theres a reason their farm system is goated whenever i have an OP rtts player on the show they always eventually get traded to an O’s farm team, im pretty sure even my brother got his rtts player traded to an O’s farm team
Crap happening in a video game (especially one that does such a piss poor job at simulating running a franchise) has nothing to do with real life.
I’ll caveat this with I’m a Baltimore fans so everything I say is from cautiousness having fallen for this in the past and noticing the same trend drilling into their data.
Have another look at their schedule. early series include:
-Athletics
- Nats
- white/Red Sox
- Detroit
- royals
literally last place teams with losing records, mostly.
Fun game: name a team they beat in a series that didn’t have a losing record in the first 1/3 of the season? (~40 games bc after that historically teams can start to rack up repeat wins for a glory win rate eg Baltimore has played the two worst teams in baseball in the royals and A’s double digit times already)
It’s tough to find bc it’s so rare but the Rays and Rangers early. The former with a net differential of 0 over 3 games. The latter being their first big series triumph but they’d avenge the series loss after the teams settled in blasting the orioles with a differential of +11. Then the pirates with a differential of a single run. Split with the angels differential of +1. Blue jays worth noting right outside the 1/3 mark despite being bottom of the table due to it being a sweep which is the only the 3rd time.
Let that sink in - they have a 63% win rate & only swept 3 teams and they were bad (+Detroit). Still need to check today if they ended up sweeping Kansas City as that might qualify but I’ll exclude today. Compare that to say Atlanta 61% win rate and have swept double that amount (also excluding today as braves were on pace to sweep the nats but need to go check so excluding to be apples to apples).
Lot lord I could type for now, I’ll happily be proven wrong but I think you’re missing some of the nuance that has them with such a pretty record. Maybe I’m a broken man though overtaken by cynicism haha who knows
Looking stong now in the second half of the season too. Also the Os haven't been sweept since Rutchman came up either there has to be something to that right?
I’m watching a video that’s positive about my beloved Orioles, and am surprised no one picked up on this. His name is DEAN Kremer. Not drew.
2:41 it's Dean Kremer, not Drew
Oh yeah and by the way Jackson Holliday is tearing up high a at 19 years old. Hopefully they keep their young stars!
this is only a surprise to anyone that wasn't watching the '22 orioles lmao
To be honest after last season I kinda saw this coming
Should be highlighting HAY's over Mullins. Not that Mullins is not having a good yr because he's having a great yr, until injury. But, Hay's has had a 300 plus avg from the beginning of the season. Hey's is crushing the ball now.
I heard they started training with a new nano ball pitching machine to train batters eye
The hell is that
@@kashshhds8824 like super tiny baseballs
I think the O's will spend big on a pitcher this offseason maybe someone like Julio Urias or something
Maybe Aaron Nola? Although I could see them going for a cheaper pitcher like Blake Snell or Luis Severino
"including Drew Kremer" lmao
IF WE ONLY HAD AN OWNER WHO SPENT A LITTLE MONEY.
WE WOULD BE AMAZING!
2:43 *Dean
As a jays fan, 😢
Short answer: Adley Rutschman
Jorge Mateo has really been great
40-man roster, more then enough room for the prospects. They'll figure it out.
Don’t you ever sleep on my O’s they could be a World Series sleeper
I always thought they going to do super well this season. Bloody MLB the Show doesn't but.
There are rumors about Verlander coming to Baltimore. He makes $42M.
