Monday Bird Droppings: One day to go until spring training

Hello, friends.

There are now 45 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This number has been used for the last couple of years by that notorious pie-hater, Mark Trumbo. Here’s hoping he comes closer to reaching his uniform number in home runs in 2018 than he did in 2017.

As this is a number that’s divisible by three, that’s also 15 days for every starting pitcher the Orioles don’t currently have. It wouldn’t be a very good set of events if they get a starting pitcher just 15 days away from Opening Day. But let’s hope that they can get at least one pitcher before 15 days have passed from now.
