More spring info
I’ve been asked a bunch of times if I’m going down to Spring Training, and the answer is yes. I plan to be down in Sarasota a few days early and will be reporting live once camp starts with lots of updates, pictures, anecdotes etc., here on the blog, on Twitter and Orioles.com.
These dates were mentioned in the earlier blog posts,but I didn’t want them to get lost along the way.
The Orioles pitchers and catchers will hold their first workout in Sarasota
on February 14, and the first full squad workout will take place
February 21.
The Orioles will open the 2011 Grapefruit League schedule
with a split squad game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on February 28 at
1:05 p.m. The home schedule at the new Ed Smith Stadium opens against
the Tampa Bay Rays on March 1 at 1:05 p.m. The full schedule and any ticket information is up on Orioles.com.
O’s minor league
pitchers will hold their first workout in Sarasota on Monday, March 7.
The first minor league full squad workout will take place on Friday,
March 11. Minor league games begin Wednesday, March 16.
