Good morning, Birdland!
Losing is never fun, but the Orioles accomplished something last night in the midst of a 3-1 defeat at hands of the Red Sox. Kyle Bradish made his big league debut, persevered through one rough inning, and looks like a guy that is going to stick around.
These developments are what the 2022 season is all about for the Orioles. This team is not going to the playoffs. They are going to lose a lot. But there remain goals to achieve, particularly on the individual level.
From my perspective, this year has always been about getting the pitching staff into a stable position moving forward.
