Good morning, Birdland!
The Orioles big league squad is doing everything in their power to show that they are real deal contenders. A 6-2 beating of the Reds on Friday night gave the O’s four wins in their last five tries, put them within two games of a playoff spot, pushed them two games over .500, and drew them even on run differential for the season. With a relatively easy schedule over the next week, it is not unreasonable to think the team could push themselves even further up the standings in the days ahead.
Things look even rosier if you eliminate the pre-Adley Rutschman days.
