Offered without comment:

For years now on the MASN home page, Roch's twitter link in the pull down menu has been spelled Kubtako.

Funny stuff here

While the Yovani Gallardo drama plays out, we're left to ponder the repercussions as they relate to the roster and the continuing perception that the Orioles' physical is harder to pass than a 10-lb. kidney stone.

[Redskins Rick]

today's gem:

Dexter Fowler won't be playing right field for the Orioles. Agent Casey Close won't be attending their next cookout.

[Redskins Rick]

From today:

The annual nutrition meeting is being held this morning inside the Orioles clubhouse. Players are reminded not to chug bacon fat.

I'll always appreciate the year that one player brought in a box of donuts for the occasion

[Mt. Holly]

"The Orioles designated Joey Terdoslavich for assignment and you didn't make a "flushing the terd" joke?

I'm above it."

Now comes the home portion of the exhibition schedule. And it's the Braves' turn to make the two-hour drive from Disney.

Ask them later if it's really a small world after all.

Pirates pitchers today include Arquimedes Caminero, Montana DuRapau, Dovydas Neverauskas and ... Josh Smith.

One of these things is not like the other.

There are 41 players in camp. You're only allowed to carry 25. This isn't the NFL.

The rain has picked up in intensity again at the Ed Smith Stadium complex, and pretty much the entire state of Florida. The Braves are on a bus headed to Sarasota. I wonder how easily it can execute a U-turn.

Christian Walker is supposed to play left field every day. Dariel Alvarez is playing right field. Kim can't roam center and I'm fairly certain he won't be the starting shortstop.

Note, he was referring to Kim.

(For the record, the only real jinx is influencing the pace of a game by blurting out, "Man, this game's moving fast!" It works every time and can lead to icy stares and the occasional beating inside the press box.)

While we wait on pins and needles for confirmation or denial that Rickard is playing left field and leading off on opening day - and I still suggest a couch or recliner, but to each his own - let's take a moment to remember Alejandro De Aza. He handled those duties on April 6, 2015 at Tropicana Field.

De Aza, now in Mets camp, went 1-for-5 with a home run, two RBIs, two runs scored and three strikeouts. The ultimate mixed bag. It should be handed out at kids' parties.

I forgot about this.

I will be so glad when Palmer comes back on. Then we can relegate the Roch stuff to page 55. Palmer is so much more entertaining.

Just btw, Thorne said on the broadcast last Friday (?) that Palmer hasn't done any ST games because his wife pulled a hamstring really bad and he has to help tend to her.

The concerns about the Orioles rotation that carried through the winter and spring training and into opening day should be grounded now that it’s tied for first in lowest ERA in the majors.

Or is one game too small of a sample size? What about two innings?
