Welcome to Good Morning, Birdland, a Baltimore Orioles podcast hosted by Camden Chat's Mark Brown.

After beating the Nationals, the Orioles are on a 95-win pace. It probably won't last but Mark's ready to enjoy it while he can, especially Dean Kremer's first good start of the season and Yennier Canó's unexpected swag-filled entrance into the 2023 Orioles bullpen. Is it too soon to go nuts over the 29-year-old reliever? Almost certainly, but even committed pessimists like Mark want to believe sometimes and Canó would be a fun success story. Not to mention that the O's bullpen could use another sure thing.

Prospect of the episode: The composite #5 in the system, Colton Cowser. The Orioles went underslot in picking him, passing on full-price talent like Jordan Lawlar. Will it pay off? Many outlets still believe in Cowser but his increase in strikeouts last year have had some sour on him.
