There wasn’t much to get excited about in the first full week of the Orioles 2021 season. They lost…like, a lot. After leaving the Bronx with just one win, the O’s were then swept by the very same Red Sox that appeared inept just days earlier and then dropped the series opener to the Mariners.

But fret not, my fellow Birdland brethren. We have Cedric Mullins, and really that’s enough, isn’t it? After all, Mullins does everything. Not only does he lead the league in hits, but the guy also steals bases, and plays a smooth centerfield. In short, he’s one of the best players in Major League Baseball. No, seriously.

Mullins’s 0.9 fWAR is fifth best among big league hitters. He’s in the same conversation as Mike Trout, Ronald Acuna Jr., and…erm…Yermin Mercedes. The point is that he’s been really, really job, and been really, really fun to watch. That’s something, and it’s honestly more than should have been expected heading into 2021.

On this week’s episode, the fellas fawn over Mullins, worrying about Ryan Mountcastle’s defense, and contemplate the future of the starting rotation.
