Four months later than everybody thought, the 2020 Orioles season is a finally only a day away from getting under way. The shortened season is going to look and sound like nothing that anyone could have predicted only six months ago. The rules are different. The schedules are shortened. The only fans in the stands will be cardboard cutouts in some cities, and the only crowd noise will be fake. It is all going to be strange to see play out.
The season being limited to 60 games instead of closer to the usual 162 opens up a lot of room for some kind of unexpected outcome.
