After a three-day hiatus from our television screens, the Orioles are back on the air this afternoon with a MASN broadcast against the Rays. Trevor Rogers becomes the first O\u2019s starter to make an encore appearance this spring after opening with two scoreless innings against the Yankees last Friday.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll take on another AL East opponent today, though this Rays travel lineup bears little resemblance to the one they\u2019ll use in the regular season. There are nearly no recognizable names in Tampa Bay\u2019s order. The bottom of their lineup includes players like Tre\u2019 Morgan, Raynel Delgado, Bradford Dill, and Tatem Levins. Those guys are so anonymous that I just made up one of those names and you don\u2019t know which one!<\/p>\n
The O\u2019s, by contrast, have a lineup full of guys who will be on the Opening Day roster (aside from #9 hitter Weston Wilson, who is a long shot). Dylan Beavers will be making his first start in center field, something he\u2019s done 70 times in his minor league career but never in the majors. Beavers isn\u2019t considered a great defender in center, but if he can hold his own at the position, that would give the O\u2019s some added flexibility in the outfield and allow Colton Cowser to get more rest. Today the Orioles are facing Brody Hopkins, one of the Rays\u2019 top prospects.<\/p>\n
