Next Thursday can't get here soon enough.

Agreed! I'm seriously in Orioles baseball withdraw. So much so that I'm looking at flights down to TB for the opening series and trying to convince my wife that it's completely normal to fly to Florida to watch 2 games in the middle of the week.

Hey! My name is Justine Griffin and I'm a reporter with the Sarasota Herald-Tribune newspaper in Sarasota, Fla. I'm looking to talk to O's fans who are traveling to Florida for spring training this season for an article I'm writing. If interested, please give me a shout!

Thanks!

We went to spring training in 2013 for a week. It was a blast! She had a good time too, but it was too chilly to hang out at the beach for very long the week that we were there.

It was cold and windy last year too, but Siesta Key Beach is #1 in the US, so I was out there Baby! Even swam a few times.

Here it is Spring Training one week away, and it seems like there is nothing exciting to discuss.It was such a quite winter for the O's.I'm looking forward to my trip, and will see a couple of games in March. Should be interesting.

I hear what you're saying about a quiet Winter, but truly we didn't have many holes to fill. The only real questions heading into the Spring is...

Last bullpen arm to replace Miller.

Who plays left and right.

Assuming Manny and Wieters are healthy and able to begin the season on the roster, here's what we have. The starting rotation is set. The infield is set. Center and Catcher are set. Most of the bullpen is set. Joseph and Flaherty are givens. There really aren't many battles to follow this Spring. I can't wait for games.

You can't replace Miller until August ;) Otherwise it would be unfair! We have a better outfield than last year, and our only issue is replacing Cruz 40 homers. And Cruz won't hit 40 homers this year anyway.

Not for us if we had re-signed him and certainly not in Seattle.

      Statistical oddities

      By SteveA · Posted

      Today the Orioles became the first team since 1983 to score all their runs in a game on a leadoff home run and a walkoff home run. The last team to do so was the Phillies in August 1983.  Joe Morgan led off, Ozzie Virgil walked off.

      I remember watching that game.  I think he got HBP and didn't want to go down to 1st because he wanted a chance to hit his 4th HR of the day.  Anyways he was great player, a beast when he was healthy.   Such a shame about the hip.

      Hays and Santander -- nicked up?

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      The O's hitters and the O's management seem to be in a MJ self induced haze right now.   No one is hitting, of those that are actually playing, and the O's brass is doing none of their players any favors with how they are 'managing' them. The only thing I really liked today was moving JW to leadoff and GH to cleanup.  Give that a few weeks. But there is no way Mullins, Hayes, Urias, and I could name 3 others.....should be playing right now.  They are auto outs and just killing the team. Bring back up Heston.  Let him play for 25 of the next 30 games.   Bring up Mayo.  Get him in the lineup almost every day at various positions.  Let Stowers play.  As the S Koreans like to day.....it doesn't matter.  There is no way shape or form that guys like Hayes, Mullins, and the other vets are going to win you a WS.    Play the young guys now while still winning and by Sept they may have a true WS contender.

      I started to look at it, but it was at page one of 166, so I will take your word for it. It was, a little bit funny to read all the angst about Shohei going to Toronto, laugh laugh laugh

      Yeah, watching the game live I thought all the fans had pulled back. But that one guy did reach over and touch it before it landed. I guess they ruled (correctly) that it was already over the HR line at that point. Though this one wouldn't have been a HR before the "other" Camden Yards wall change-- when they shortened that RF wall in the early 2010s.

      Yeah, this is a very good team having a very lousy game, and winning anyway. But it’s like my friend wants said, “good players make their own luck.“

      Do you have any concerns he could build bad habits that take advantage of the lower quality of defense in the minors? As in, the defense will get better as he continues to move up and his aggressiveness could cause him to run into outs?  I'm kind of on your line of thinking though, let him run.
