Are you happy spring training is starting?

[Frobby]

Normally, this would be a silly question.   For me, the day that pitchers and catchers report is normally a red letter day.

But this year, with all the uncertainty, are you glad that spring training is getting underway?   Or are you dreading what’s to come?

For me, I’m still glad it’s here.    I’d rather read about what’s going on with Nestor Cortes and Jose Mesa Jr. and how well the ball is coming out of someone’s hand, than read another rehash of the lack of movement in the FA market.   I certainly hope the O’s sign some guys, and soon, but I’m glad to have something else to read about.

Baseball is better than no baseball.

I also have to admit a part of me wants to continue following this slow moving trainwreck to the point of impact.

Ecstatic. I am so starved for baseball I found myself watch baseball bloopers on you tube for an hour yesterday.

Put me in, coach, I'm ready ...

I live about 40 minutes from the Orioles sprint training site and manage to make it to a number of games every spring, but I have to admit, my interest level is lower than any year since their move to Sarasota. And I'm dreading the thought of a Boston- New York pennant fight. If that turns out to be the case, I will tune out early in the season.

Go O's! Fingers crossed.

I'm happy it's here. Need a distraction from doctors visits, lawyer stuff, and retirement paperwork.

[SomethingMagicHappens]

I don't think I've ever been less excited for pitchers & catchers to report.  Can they all fit in 1 minivan????  I'm 50+ years old & have been testing out my knuckleball in case they need an old tired arm who is willing to pitch for the MLB minimum this year........   I just haven't been able to gear up my enthusiasm yet.

It's been a long hard winter. I'm ready for the Boys of Summer!!!

[Birdfan21]

Yessssss. Always ready. Pissed at ownership/front office for this middle of the road plan. However, always go Os defy the odds somehow.

I could never argue against Summer > Winter.

Well, considering how much the Orioles will have to rely on their young talent this season, spring training is important for them, moreso than any middling free agent they pick up.

So yeah, I'm ready! 

[Mountain Bird]

I'm very happy. At least we get to see what the Orioles do have, good or otherwise.

[notyourbuddy]

The closer we get to Spring Training the more angry I find myself getting.  Duquette get off your ass and do something.
