As the snow starts to melt here in Baltimore, down in sunny Sarasota the Orioles first spring training game of 2019 is only a couple of days away. It seems like pitchers and catchers only just reported, because well, they kind of just did — about 10 days ago.
Things are moving quickly, at least on the fan side. Maybe not on the player side though, as every spring we hear about the monotony of PFP drills and facing your own teammates in the batting cage. It doesn’t take long for the players to tire of the spring routine and hope for the real games to start.
