Hello, friends.
There are now 46 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. That’s Mike Flanagan days until there’s baseball again. The number has not been issued to a new player since Jeremy Guthrie, who was using it when Flanagan died, left the team. Pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota later this week!
I think we’re all ready for spring training to get rolling after a few months where there was only occasional news that, in the aggregate, was disappointing. It’s about time to get moving towards real baseball and see how all of these storylines and questions that we’ve all had since the end of last season are going to work out.
