The current Baltimore Orioles roster may not draw big crowds to Camden Yards in 2019 and wins are going to be fairly difficult to come by, but there has been a lot of optimism around early reports out of spring training. Injuries have already crept in, but overall, things appear to be going in the right direction.
Early photos from Orioles’ beat writers showed cameras and computers lined behind pitching mounds and a full coaching staff on hand, including minor league staff members who get to experience a big league spring. General manager Mike Elias and manager Brandon Hyde are putting their stamps on the organization in this first week of practice and have, somehow, quickly placed the minds of fans in a better place, even after we just watched the Birds drop 115 games.
