<p>It is Friday afternoon. The Orioles beat the Red Sox in spring training, 11-5. The game does not count, but still, the Orioles beat the Sox thanks to a six-run eighth inning, and that's always cool. There will be no GIF Party. This is not the regular season.</p>
<p>So here instead is a Victory JPEG Shindig. And now you know what must be done. <b>DO IT!</b></p>

<p>No television and no radio for a spring training again makes Mark a sad panda. But you're probably watching basketball instead of wanting to watch the Orioles in the Grapefruit League anyway, right?</p> <p>This game will take place in the dark. That's not because it will take place at night, or because it will happen during the already-past solar eclipse of the morning. It will be in the dark because it is not on TV or radio anywhere. That's the second time this week for an <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.camdenchat.com/">Orioles</a> spring training game.</p>
<p>This means that, while various scouts will get to look at how today's starter, <span>Brian Matusz</span>, does against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.overthemonster.com/">Red Sox</a>, we will not have any judge for ourselves. Are the O's showcasing him for a trade? Are they trying to stretch him out as a long reliever? Do they really think they might actually use him as a starting pitcher again at some point in time? We'll find out, but not today, because there won't be any broadcasters to tell us these things.</p>
<p>You will probably observe that this is a road spring training lineup, but it looks like a fairly regular-season lineup for the Sox, other than the lack of David Phonebane. So good luck, Matusz!</p>
