Tuesday Bird Droppings: A mixed bag in Grayson Rodriguez’s spring debut

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

Isn’t it nice to have actual baseball to talk about? Baseball players are out on the field, doing baseball stuff. It’s not something to take for granted, especially after the lockout seemed like it might put some or all of the season in peril as recently as two weeks ago.

Now then, on to that actual baseball. Yesterday, in their fourth game of Grapefruit League play, the Orioles bagged their first victory, a 10-8 slugfest against the Twins that was not exactly a pitching clinic. Of the 11 hurlers who worked for the Birds, one was of particular interest to Orioles fans: the best pitching prospect in baseball, Grayson Rodriguez.
