Hello, friends.
There are now 72 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This uniform number was only ever used once, by Robert Machado in 2003 and 2004.
We’re also now down to just 28 days until pitchers and catchers report to begin spring training. The fake start of baseball season is now just four weeks away! This date appears to hold little significance for the Orioles front office, given that it seems like every beat writer expects the Orioles to add one or more players after spring training begins. That’s going to mean an uncomfortable four weeks of waiting for Orioles fans.
