Baltimore Orioles: And so it begins…

The curtain on the 2025 Baltimore Orioles inches ever-so-slightly towards raising up today. On this, the twelfth of February in the year of our Lord, 2025, we get to utter perhaps one of the most beautiful phrases in America: pitchers and catchers report today.

It’s just a milestone. The first in quite a few. Make no mistake, the offseason isn’t over yet. And it won’t be over next Saturday afternoon when the Birds begin Grapefruit League play against Pittsburgh at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. But the long march begins towards Opening Day, right now.

Welcome to Birdland Crush! Yes folks, for the record it's a spin off of the popular summer beverage native to the Mid-Atlantic Region - "orange crush." Nevertheless, I've been covering Orioles' baseball since 2009 in some capacity, and it's basically the greatest gig of all time so far as I'm concerned! But for those who aren't familiar with my work or bio, I'm familiar with pretty much every sport out there. But baseball is king - we all know that. So my hope is that you come back and check in after every Orioles' game, and throughout the off-season. I'm always on duty!
