The weekend is here and so are Bird Droppings! We are now just 30 days from Opening Day, which means it'll be here before we know it. Uniform number 30 is current worn by injured pitcher Chris Tillman and has been worn in the past by others such as Luke Scott and Gregg Olson.
The Orioles take on the Rays today in spring action. Ubaldo Jimenez will pitch for the Orioles against Chris Archer. The game will be broadcast on 105.7 FAN so if you're near a radio or have MLB At Bat enjoy! It will not be televised.
