O's Atop AL East
The Orioles are 2-1 and stand atop the AL East (albeit merely alphabetically). As this is my last chance to post whilst the O's are in 1st place, I strike while the iron is hot.
Starting pitching has thrown 15 of 27 innings and surrendered 13 runs. The bullpen has surrendered 2 runs in 12 innings. The Orioles pitching staff does NOT lead the AL in walks.
The O's have homered 4 times in the first 3 games. They've stolen 4 bases in 5 attempts.
The defense has played well. While they've committed two errors, they've also made excellent defensive plays to nullify the ill effects of said miscues.
Alas, the starting pitching may be the only performance thus far that the O's can sustain.
