Orioles bullpen earns rare acclaim with performance in Wednesday's weird doubleheader

Wednesday's very weird doubleheader between the Orioles and the White Sox ran counter to pretty much everything that's been established about the Orioles this season.

The defense was flat-out bad, to the point that the Orioles didn't really look ready to play in the first game. But when asked to pinpoint one thing that stood out from over eight hours of baseball, manager Brandon Hyde's response was a positive on the most frustrating aspect of his team.

"Really encouraged by a lot of our bullpen arms," Hyde said. "I thought we threw the ball really good out of the pen, and I thought today was a little bit of a hiccup for us defensively that we need to get back to and really focus on catching the ball.
