One of those things that some people love to say about a baseball season is that it’s a marathon and not a sprint. A 162-game season may not perfectly sort out the good teams from the mediocre, and the mediocre teams from the bad, but it does a good job. The 2020 season, due to everything that has happened in the world and in the USA for the last six months, is going to be a sprint rather than a marathon, and it starts tonight.
No one expects that this sprint will end up with the Orioles anywhere close to the leaders.
