Including the win streaks. I go down to Mexico for a week while my Orioles went to Texas and went 7-0 against the two teams down there including 3 straight shutouts. All this occuring not long after losing Jose Fernandez and Andrew Cashner (who is back this week). Since the last time either of those guys have made a start, the Orioles have been 15-7.
Hopefully the bats can soon wake up and make up for the likely regression to be seen from Carlos Carrasco who went 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA since Cashner went down (I've been impressed enough with Carrasco's peripherals over the 3 game stretch that I'm moving Petit back to the bullpen instead). Since joining the O's, Crush Davis has hit .203/.288/.356, Jason Heyward has hit .184/.250/.330 and Brad Miller has hit .192/.273/.283.
Anyway, suddenly the O's are legit WC contenders for the first time in God knows how long.
Everything is bigger in Texas
