Monday Bird Droppings: Grayson Rodriguez heads for the minors, hopefully not for long

Hello, friends.

There are now 11 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Baseball’s almost back! The home opener is two weeks from today. Between now and then are another nine exhibition games that will help the players hopefully get themselves ready for the season after this truncated spring training schedule. That includes a road contest against the Phillies at 1:05 this afternoon. The game will have a Phillies TV broadcast, but no Orioles TV or radio.

The Orioles beat the Tigers in their game yesterday, 5-4. That improved their Grapefruit League record to 5-4-1. John Means and Jordan Lyles each tossed three innings, giving up one run apiece.
