Good morning, Birdland!
There are no moral victories in professional sports. Losing is a bummer every time, even when your team is nearing the finish line of a 100+ loss season. That said, watching the Orioles for the last few weeks has been markedly more enjoyable than it was in the dog days of summer.
The improvement of the pitching staff is a massive piece of that. They all look like they belong on a major league mound. Zac Lowther again seems like a promising part of the future. Alexander Wells has added himself back to the conversation.
