His ballclub is again legit, if primarily because it will hit and mostly defend, and then see if it can weather its starting pitching. Never mind the 2-11-2 spring record for, as Showalter pointed out, "We won two intra-squad games and a B game."

"I've always been able to take in the moment and, 'All right, slow down. You may not pass this way again.' Something with my kids. Something with a player. Something as simple as Adam Jones having a baby. Knowing what he was like the first day he got here, and seeing the man and the husband and the father he's become. Those are things, those are real."

Oh, Take the time to read this.

I read it. Orioles are "tough to project". I will agree with that. That's a Yogi Berra answer on winning an intrasquad game.
