Friday Bird Droppings: Where we’re antsy for baseball to start

Related Topics: Mike Elias, Livan Soto

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Baseball season — or at least the slow ramp-up to baseball season — will be starting very soon. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training in Sarasota in less than a week (and a few, surely, are already there). Then come the position players a week later. Then some workout days. Then a seemingly interminable schedule of exhibition games: 32 Grapefruit League contests over the course of 30 days.

It’ll be nice to see the whole gang back on the field, but I can already tell I’m hardly going to have the patience to slog through five weeks of meaningless games.
