We got a surprise Orioles prospect debut with Joey Ortiz on Thursday. It was fun to see him and fun that the Orioles didn't give him the Kyle Stowers treatment (yet). Mark is mighty glad the Orioles won Ortiz's debut because a whole lot of dumb stuff happened in that game and the Orioles are going to need to play better than this against teams who are better than the Tigers. In the mailbag, thoughts on John Means's Tommy John recovery. Prospect of the episode: Connor Norby.
