Hello, friends.
There are now three months and eleven days remaining until the next scheduled Orioles game, which is Opening Day 2022. We’re under two months until pitchers and catchers report to Sarasota. This continues to assume the ownership-imposed lockout ends in time to avoid 2022 calendar disruptions. That may not end up being the case.
Directly Orioles-related news remains slim, but we did get some former Oriole-related news over the weekend as the Mets announced the hiring of Buck Showalter as their next manager. For any O’s fans who’d experience some happiness if Buck won a World Series ring - and I certainly include myself in that group - that’s another team whose success you might enjoy, assuming there is success to enjoy.
