Since the start of Grapefruit League games, the Orioles have deployed a number of starting lineups where you could say, “That looks pretty close to an Opening Day lineup,” with maybe six or seven players who figure to be in that first lineup. One way you know that Opening Day is creeping up on us is that today’s lineup is the first one of spring where you can look at it and say, “That could be the exact Orioles Opening Day lineup.”
As a nice bonus for any Orioles fans who are able to get some free time to themselves this afternoon, MASN is actually bothering to televise this contest.
