Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Just 10 games remain on the Orioles’ spring schedule. That’s two games at most for each member of the Birds’ projected five-man rotation to get fully stretched out and ready to go. So far, none have worked five full innings; yesterday in Dunedin, Cade Povich attempted to do so but came one out shy, running out of gas and giving up four runs in the fifth. It was the first shaky outing of what’s been an otherwise stellar spring for Povich, the Orioles’ presumptive fifth starter.
The big story of the day, though, was the Orioles’ first matchup against Anthony Santander, their longtime fan-favorite slugger who left the Birds for the Blue Jays in free agency this offseason.
