Hello, friends.
Merry Christmas Eve Eve! This day marks three months and eight days until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day 2022. As ever, this continues to assume that the ongoing ownership lockout of players is resolved in time to avoid disruptions to the next season’s calendar. We cannot be certain of that now, but there’s no point in worrying about it for probably another five or six weeks.
With the pandemic-shortened 2020 still fresh in my mind, I don’t enjoy the idea of a shortened 2022 as well, even if there will probably end up being plenty of games next year that make me wish there were fewer 2022 Orioles games to watch.
