Good morning, Birdland!
Something special is brewing within this Orioles team. It’s not enough to make them a contender this season, but it’s impossible to ignore the feeling that this is the most interesting team of the Mike Elias/Brandon Hyde era.
Kyle Bradish is emblematic of Elias’s theory on pitcher recruitment and development. He wasn’t a high draft pick or a top prospect prior to coming to Baltimore. The organization saw potential and put together a plan to help him reach his potential. What he did last night in a 5-3 win over a solid Cardinals team was impressive.
