Spoiler alert!
Spoiler: The Orioles are 9-2 under Buck Showalter. Seven of the wins have come against the Angels, White Sox and (tonight) Rays. Ten of the games have been quality starts (and the other was still a victory), and the offense has averaged just under five runs a game over the stretch. They play 30 more games against teams presently within six games of their division lead; everyone but Minnesota.
Am I overexcited over a small sample size and a likely hard fall back to Earth soon? Yes. Do I give a shit? HELL NO!
