Spring training is close to being over, and not a moment too soon. For today, though, an Orioles game that doesn't count against the Yankees. At least the O's are fielding a real lineup.
You know things are getting serious in spring training when Buck Showalter actually has one of his regular starting pitchers facing off against a divisional opponent, as he is doing with Chris Tillman today.
Maybe it's because the Orioles won't face the Yankees in the regular season until May, so there's not necessarily much advantage to be gained by them seeing him today.
