Spring training can be a slog full of milestones both real and imagined, but wrapping the first week of full-squad workouts for the Orioles with the Grapefruit League schedule set to begin Saturday, manager Brandon Hyde said his new club is "off to a great start."
Hyde and his new staff of coaches have spent most of their time trying to create a relaxed atmosphere at Orioles camp. More focused work but less time spent on the field, as well as small additions such as music, made it clear that this camp might be different from Orioles spring trainings past.
