Just for a change of pace, maybe the O's could actually try and win today? I know it doesn't matter much in the grand design, but a losing mentality is like a virus. Once it's attached itself, it's real hard to get rid of. I think 1998-2011 is proof of that.

Both teams' lineups are in the O.P.

The think the fans are more worried about it then the players are.

Or maybe we just had bad teams back then. I think I remember a few springs with great records during that time. So...I think negative thoughts are like a virus myself.

I wonder if the Giants are concerned? They have an identical record to us in spring training.

They take odd years off anyway.

Brought the good lineup to the away game!

Dom Chiti is giving a "Sabermetrics for Dummies" talk to the squad. He has been meeting with front office and analytics members to get his skills upgraded.
