The rightful expectation is that there's little, at least statistically, worth reading into when the baseball season is less than three weeks old. Good starts and bad starts alike will likely even out.
If they do not, it will be noteworthy as to exactly whom — or, more fittingly, what type of pitcher — has pitched well for the Orioles so far this season.
In starters David Hess and John Means, plus relievers Jimmy Yacabonis, Paul Fry and Evan Phillips, the Orioles are seeing growth exactly where a team of their modest expectations and experience should: in a subset of pitchers who have enough major league experience to know the level, and are at the stage in their careers in which fresh coaching voices can help them thrive.
