Tuesday Bird Droppings: Orioles pitchers and catchers start to work out

Hello, friends.

There are now 48 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This number was worn most recently by Vance Worley in the past season and was worn the longest by Ross Grimsley, who still talks on 105.7 about the Orioles from time to time. For those who find spring training exciting, today is even better because it's going to give the first chance for pitchers to throw and catchers to catch.

The catchers catching part is significant today in particular because it seems there is at least a little bit of anxiety about Welington Castillo's going off to play in the World Baseball Classic this spring.
