My late Mother's Birthday. Always a day of joy, and now, remembrance.

Walk by Zach Britton to start off the game.

Emilio Bonifacio singles off of Britton, Gose stops at second.

Bonifacio hitting .302 this Spring.

Melky Cabrera draws a walk. Bases loaded, no outs. J.P Arencibia up to the plate.

Britton needs to get it together quick if he wants to stay in this fifth starter's race.

Britton walks Cabrera. Bases full, none out.

I don't think this going according to plan.

Who are you "rooting" for?

At first I was all for Jair but he's fallen off my ship a bit. Steve pitched great last year but I don't think the O's will make the move. As of now I'm rooting for Arrieta.

In my humble opinion, I think Steve deserves the spot. He has been the most consistent of the group over the past year.
