Hello, friends. Happy New Year!
There are now two months and 30 days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day. We are now in the year where that will happen. Pitchers and catchers are a mere month and two weeks away from reporting to Sarasota to start spring training. As has been the case all offseason, these dates assume a resolution to the ownership-imposed lockout in time to avoid disruptions to the season calendar. Perhaps now that we’re into 2022, there will be some more urgency in the talks.
Can I tell you a dangerous secret?
