Tuesday Bird Droppings: The slow march to Opening Day

Happy Tuesday, Camden Chatters! My condolences to those of you who are back to work already, or who never had any time off. I’ll be off the rest of this week before heading back on January 2nd.

We’re still a week from the new year but getting past Christmas is a small milestone in the long offseason when we wait for baseball to return. I haven’t seen an official reporting date for pitchers and catchers but it usually falls right around Valentine’s Day, which is just 50 days away. That’s not too bad!

Of course, getting to that date is always exciting in the moment, followed by a letdown when there isn’t actually anything to pay attention to other than a few tweeted pics from beat reporters of guys in orange jerseys running in the outfield.
