Great article on the Orioles on FanGraphs today.

“The point being, the Orioles have knocked their projections out of the park, and they’ve done it far more than anyone else.
Once again, I don’t have an explanation. I’d like to pretend that I do, but the best I can muster is some of this credit should go to Buck Showalter. And, you know, that back of the bullpen that we’ve all discussed. I’m not an authority on why certain teams over-achieve, and I might never be. But the Orioles have pretty consistently over-achieved, to the point where, over five years, only three other baseball teams have won more games. That’s outstanding, and to some extent it should serve as consolation for various moves that haven’t worked out. Orioles fans have agonized for a few years over the loss of Jake Arrieta, and that’s fine and justifiable. Losing a guy like that sucks. Yet by and large, despite everything, the Orioles of the last half-decade have been terrific. I’m not sure how long they’ll keep it up, but three trips to the playoffs are a heck of a reward, considering the math might’ve argued for tanking.”
