With two weeks to go until Opening Day for the abbreviated 2020 season, we now know who will be making the start for the Orioles. The news will not be a surprise to anyone who watched the team’s starting pitchers in 2020. The Opening Day starter is John Means.
The fact that choosing Means was pretty much the only choice the Orioles could make, given that they traded away Dylan Bundy and haven’t experienced a healthy/good version of Alex Cobb, should not take away from what he accomplished to be given the ball on Opening Day.
