If you’ve gotten accustomed to Orioles spring training games being on television after the first two games of the schedule, tough luck today. No video feed! The game will at least be broadcast on 98 Rock (97.9 FM) in the Baltimore vicinity, or online anywhere you can access that feed. The O’s are on the road to play the Tigers in this one, lining up like this:
- Colton Cowser – CF
- Pete Alonso – 1B
- Heston Kjerstad – LF
- Coby Mayo – 3B
- Sam Huff – C
- Samuel Basallo – DH
- Jeremiah Jackson – 2B
- Reed Trimble – RF
- José Barrero – SS
Now this is a spring training road lineup. Four guys who figure to be regular major league players, two guys who have a reasonable path to some MLB playing time if not a guaranteed spot on the Opening Day roster, and three guys where the season has probably gone towards disaster if they get any kind of extended run on the roster.
Kyle Bradish is the starting pitcher, expected to be followed by these pitchers, probably not in alphabetical order by last name: Cameron Foster, Andrew Magno, Anthony Nunez, Cameron Weston, Brandon Young. Cade Povich is expected to start tomorrow, with Albert Suárez making Tuesday’s start. For the expected starting rotation, still waiting to see Chris Bassitt, Shane Baz, or Zach Eflin get on the calendar. We know they are pitching live BPs, so don’t worry.
