Good morning, Birdland!
The first week of the Grapefruit League 2023 “season” is in the books, and the Orioles find themselves near the bottom of the standings with two wins, four losses, and one...tie?
Yes, spring games can end in a draw. Teams come into these exhibitions with a set number of pitchers to be used, and they don’t go over them. Sometimes innings end early, sometimes teams play an umpire-less half-inning, and sometimes the games end without a winner.
It’s been my personal belief for a while that ending a baseball game (apart from the postseason, of course) in a tie would be perfectly fine.
