Good morning, Birdland!
Last night’s 1-0 win was a perfect game of baseball, at least from the Orioles’ perspective. It was the type of win that leaves you feeling even more encouraged about the team than you were going in. The fact that it took only two hours and 49 minutes to complete was a bonus.
Adley Rutschman appears to be over his learning phase. The guy is smacking around big league pitching with little issue, and he threw out a baserunner on top of it. His 1.92-second average pop time is top 10 among MLB catchers.
