If it feels like a long time since you\u2019ve seen Kyle Bradish on the mound for the Orioles, you\u2019re not imagining things. Bradish hasn\u2019t pitched a Grapefruit League game since Feb. 28, a full 11 days ago. But that changes today, as he takes the hill against the Pirates in Sarasota. Bradish gave up two runs apiece in his previous two spring starts and has yet to pitch more than three innings. It\u2019s about time to get him stretched out some more, especially if he\u2019s going to be the Orioles\u2019 starting pitcher on Opening Day as most fans expect.<\/p>\n
Today the O\u2019s will get a look at mega-hyped young Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin, the #1 prospect in baseball, who has a real chance to break camp with the team despite just 21 games of experience above High-A. By all accounts he\u2019s set to be baseball\u2019s next superstar, joining Paul Skenes to give the Pirates a team that\u2019s actually worth watching for once.<\/p>\n
The Orioles\u2019 batting order includes some of the regulars, but without the players who went on yesterday\u2019s road trip, and Gunnar Henderson and Tyler O\u2019Neill still away at the World Baseball Classic, it\u2019s not exactly an Opening Day-looking lineup just yet.<\/p>\n
This game will air locally on MASN. If you\u2019re out of market, you can catch it on MLB Network.<\/p>\n
