In the American League, the team that wants it more has won.
No, teams such as the Rangers and Astros are not outworking or outhustling teams such as the Orioles and Twins.
After a breath-of-fresh-air 2022, in which the Orioles finally finished with a winning record but had clear holes in their rotation, Baltimore aimed low last offseason. Rodriguez and Flaherty combined to allow six runs in 3 ⅔ playoff innings. In Tuesday’s elimination game, their last hope was the ordinary Kremer, who allowed six runs while recording five outs.The Orioles never really had a chance because their decision-makers did not give them one, choosing to prioritize payroll and prospects over a playoff push.
DeGrom got hurt and Perez flamed out, which prompted the Rangers to again act boldly and acquire Montgomery and Max Scherzer at the trade deadline.Both teams had powerful offenses, the Rangers’ primarily built externally, the Orioles’ internally.“For me, I think the first thing that comes to mind is: We’ll be back,” young Orioles lefty DL Hall told reporters after the Game 3 loss. “That’s all I can say. I know we’ll be back, and I think this was just kind of a snippet of what’s to come.
