Tuesday Bird Droppings: Goodbye, spring training

Good morning, Camden Chatters.

They did it. The Orioles, and every other MLB team, finished a full spring training without incident, a feat that can no longer be taken for granted after 2020’s pandemic-destroyed spring. The Birds wrapped up their exhibition schedule with an 8-3 loss to the Rays in Sarasota yesterday. That gave them a final Grapefruit League mark of 10-17-1, which doesn’t look great, but few things are less important than spring training win-loss records.

The next time the Orioles are on the field, Thursday at Fenway Park, the games will count. Are you ready?
