Saturday, February 24 vs Red Sox in Sarasota

[SteveA]

Game time:  1:05 PM

Broadcast:  MASN, NESN, WBAL Radio

Starting Pitchers:   Garrett Whitlock (R) vs Corbin Burnes (R)

Hyde announced Burnes as starter Thursday morning.   A bit surprising, as it does not line up to a a multiple of 5 days before Opening Day (33).   For reference, the Orioles starter for last year's first exhibition game was Drew Rom.

Today’s the 24th ️

Holliday getting the start in the opener and Urias over Westburg is very interesting. Yeah, it's just spring training and McKenna is starting in RF so we know you can't totally read into things, but still interesting.

I know it's just spring training so no big deal,  but a starting lineup with Mateo, Urias and McKenna is about my worst Os nightmare.

I guarantee it will be featured this season. All this prospects ready to go and they still cant get over playing some of these scrappy guys.

Solid interview with O'Hearn on the MASN pregame show.   His primary emphasis this offseason has been to swing at better pitches, draw more walks.

Now talking to Burnes.   

The announcing for the broadcast may be remote, but Roch and another MASN guy are on site and generating content for the pregame show.

Burnes has a bit of a facial resemblance to Chris Davis.

While it's possible that all 3 of those guys make the 26 man roster, I think it is somewhat unlikely if Gunnar and every one else is healthy.   Let alone all 3 being in the same lineup.

Holliday / Mayo interview coming up next.

Makes absolutely no sense how MASN can have reporters like Roch down there and can't bother to have Hollander and Palmer there. Just maddening.

At least the radio guys are there.

[Tony-OH]

Can't wait for the new owner to take over so we can have announcers enjoying the sunny Sarasota instead of announcing from the feed. Just a weird vibe when they do this, but better than no broadcast.

Been a minute since I jumped in a game thread….well, years now, but it was always a favorite to read. Great to see Cakes in the booth, even if he is stuck in B’more, doing color from afar.

Let’ go O’s.

Hope they get this shaky Cf cam settled..

Nice start for Burnes!
