Hello, friends.
There are now 53 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. This happens to be the number currently in use by Zach Britton, and if you want to get technical, the modern O's franchise came into existence in the waning months of 1953. So don't blow any saves today.
We're also now a mere four days away from pitchers and catchers officially reporting to Sarasota for spring training. Several will probably arrive early. This has been known to happen. Then there will be days of pictures and videos from reporters who don't know which way to hold their phones of players throwing bullpen sessions, and eventually we will move into some games where players who will never be on the Orioles this year will feature prominently.
