Saturday Bird Droppings: Cheers to everyone’s Corbin Burnes Day!

The Orioles’ four-game winning streak came to an end with a 9-4 loss on Friday night, as the bullpen struggled and the lineup relied solely on a swing from Adley Rutschman for runs. Despite the setback, there’s hope for a new winning streak starting today.

Corbin Burnes takes the mound, aiming to strengthen his early-season Cy Young candidature. However, facing Cole Ragans, who impressed in his recent outing against the Orioles, presents a tough challenge.

Rutschman’s performance was crucial, as he needed to improve his hitting after a sluggish start to the season. While he maintained a decent on-base percentage, his slugging percentage was low, indicating his potential for greater impact in the lineup.

The Orioles are still waiting for Jackson Holliday to find his rhythm, possibly considering strategic changes to optimise his success against left-handed pitchers.

Austin Hays showed improvement with a solid hit, although his average remains low. Continued progress from him, along with potential lineup adjustments against the Ragans, could benefit the team.

Manager Brandon Hyde might consider resting certain players against the Ragans, offering an opportunity for the bench players to contribute against the struggling Royals bullpen.

Additionally, it’s interesting to note the Orioles’ longstanding interest in Albert Suárez, indicating the extensive reach of baseball organisations in scouting talent.
