Hello folks. Welcome to the second season of the BirdWatcher Channel!. This channel will feature the standard play-by-play for all games in the regular season and postseason, as well as any televised games during the spring.
This evening, we get back to broadcast games after several during the week without any coverage, so just being able to watch is exciting enough and this is also the first evening game for the O’s this spring, which makes life easier for me! Injuries are starting to get a little hairy, though Jordan Westburg did return to the lineup last night against the Pirates. Gunnar Henderson’s injury, considered since the day it was reported to be “not serious”…well, it seems now there is no guarantee he will be ready for Opening Day, though the statements sound as though they expect him to.
Grayson Rodriguez just recently had been found to be suffering from inflammation of the triceps muscle of his pitching arm…so that is potentially our Opening Day starter/SP1 along with our best hitter possibly missing regular season time. The only silver lining for Grayson’s situation is that it clears a path for Cade Povich to pitch in the bigs straight out of camp. Tyler O’Neill was a precautionary sit last night due to rib cage soreness. Perhaps nothing serious, but with the injury track record following O’Neill to Baltimore, any news like that is going to leave fans like me feeling a sense of dread. How many knocks and niggles will our biggest impact signing (in terms of money and years) pick up over the season and how many games will he miss? Right, BW…be cool. It’s the first week of March. Three weeks until Opening Day. Do what you tell everyone else to do – Enjoy the ballgame!
BW here, and I am very much rested and ready for another season covering Orioles baseball. Hoping you have enjoyed the winter months and are ready for the great American pastime. Another chapter in Baltimore’s baseball history will be written. I cannot wait to document it
