Friday Bird Droppings: Wondering what the Orioles have in store next

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Yesterday was a day off for the Orioles, but certainly not for Orioles news. If you’re like me, you were devouring every morsel of press coverage about John Means’ historic no-hitter in Seattle on Wednesday.

Two days later, it’s still hard to wrap our brains around what we witnessed that afternoon. This is an Orioles team that, in recent years, has been considered an afterthought and certainly hasn’t been known for its stellar pitching. Non-Orioles fans would probably have trouble naming three pitchers on the Birds’ staff this year, and while Means is a former All-Star, few consider him a legitimate major league ace.
