Good morning, Camden Chatters.
The day is almost here. Tomorrow, for the first time since their 2023 season came to an inglorious end in Arlington, the Orioles will take the field for some actual (exhibition) baseball. Their 32-game Grapefruit League schedule begins at 1:05 against the Red Sox at Ed Smith Stadium, the Orioles’ spring home in Sarasota.
It remains to be seen how many of the Orioles’ expected regulars will be in tomorrow’s lineup. We know Gunnar Henderson won’t, as he continues to recover from oblique soreness. But the Birds are bringing out the big guns on the mound, with shiny new ace Corbin Burnes slated to get the start, a welcome change of pace from previous Grapefruit League openers.
