And it\u2019s not a doubleheader or a split-squad game with a break in between; these two games will be happening simultaneously. You can watch one on MASN while listening to the other on the radio, if you think you can handle such Orioles overstimulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 6:05 game, airing on MASN, is the annual Spring Breakout that pits a team of Orioles prospects against those of another club, in this case the Red Sox. And it\u2019s a pretty exciting lineup if you\u2019re an O\u2019s prospect follower:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">CF Enrique Bradfield Jr.<br \/>LF Nate George<br \/>1B Ike Irish<br \/>DH Wehiwa Aloy<br \/>RF Reed Trimble<br \/>2B Aron Estrada<br \/>C Creed Willems<br \/>3B Colin Yeaman<br \/>SS Griff O\u2019Ferrall<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That\u2019s a lineup that includes six of the Orioles\u2019 top 10 <a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com\/?id=1025X1734621&amp;xs=1&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mlb.com%2Fmilb%2Fprospects%2Forioles\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">MLB Pipeline<\/a> prospects (George, Gibson, Irish, Aloy, Estrada, Bradfield). And 10 other prospects in the Orioles\u2019 top 30 are also on the roster and could appear later in the game.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">And don\u2019t forget the Orioles\u2019 top two prospects, Samuel Basallo and Dylan Beavers, who will be playing in the Birds\u2019 Grapefruit League game tonight. That one starts at 6:35 and will be on WBAL Radio (and a Yankees TV broadcast on YES, if you have access). A few of the Orioles\u2019 regulars have the night off, including Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman, but guys like Pete Alonso, Taylor Ward, and Coby Mayo are in the lineup.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Zach Eflin makes the start after his Sunday outing ended after two innings due to rain. He\u2019s facing more or less the primary Yankees starting lineup \u2014 including Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton \u2014 so this\u2019ll be his toughest test of spring training. It remains to be seen whether the O\u2019s will include Eflin on the Opening Day roster or put him on the injured list to continue building up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">LF Taylor Ward<br \/>C Samuel Basallo<br \/>1B Pete Alonso<br \/>3B Coby Mayo<br \/>CF Dylan Beavers<br \/>RF Leody Taveras<br \/>DH Bryan Ramos<br \/>2B Luis V\u00e1zquez<br \/>SS Jos\u00e9 Barrero<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Orioles fans, you\u2019re getting a double dose of O\u2019s baseball tonight.
