Hello, friends.
There are now 20 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. As this is the retired number belonging to Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, perhaps it portends something glorious for all of us today, like maybe you will wake up to find that you have less snow to shovel than you expected, but still enough to get the day off from work or school.
Though it's turned into a late-season snowstorm around Baltimore, it turns out that this is also season preview season. There are many of them and they all see what you and I can easily see when we look at the team: Possibly problematic pitching and a whole lot of dingers.
