Good Morning, Birdland!
Losing is never fun, and that is certainly the case when it comes at the end of an 11-inning affair that included a lengthy rain delay. But losses happen in a 162-game season. It’s baseball. You can’t get too worked up day-to-day.
Something that does warrant an emotional response are major injuries. The Orioles have had their share already this year. John Means and Tyler Wells are both out with UCL tears that will require surgery and lengthy recoveries. That news came just two weeks ago.
The team will be hoping they avoided even more bad news on Friday night as Kyle Bradish exited after five innings and just 74 pitches.
