Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Boy, this spring training is going fast, huh? There’s a sentence I never thought I’d say.
Most years, the initial excitement of pitchers and catchers reporting to camp quickly gives way to impatience and boredom as teams slog through a month-long slate of meaningless exhibition games. This year, though, the lockout-induced delay of the start of the season has turned spring training into a sprint. (Sprint training, if you will.) It was only three weeks ago yesterday that the work stoppage ended. Two weeks ago, Grapefruit League games began. One week from now, the regular season begins.
