We’re finally here! It’s Opening Day! It’s been more than six months since the Orioles last played a regular season game. For a while over the winter it seemed like we might be waiting even longer than this to get big league baseball back, but here we are, only about a week late, with the O’s starting on the road instead of at home. Not great, but it could be a lot worse.
As bleak as the last few Orioles seasons have been, they’ve done fairly well over their opening few series during Brandon Hyde’s managerial tenure. They swept the Red Sox to start last season.
