Good morning, Birdland!
It has been said quite a few times, but it’s worth repeating. There is something special about these Orioles. Maybe it’s just how competent they look in comparison to the quality of teams trotted out each of the last few seasons. But it feels deeper than that.
Last night’s 4-1 win over the White Sox was a good example. Obviously, winning the game is the main goal, and it’s nice that it happened. But it goes beyond that.
Jorge Mateo got plunked by Michael Kopech in the second inning, which appeared to be retaliation for Dean Kremer accidentally hitting Josh Harrison with a pitch on Thursday.
