I'm always careful of being too dramatic when it comes to writing about a particular baseball season, because each is unique and each has its ebbs and flows.
Oftentimes, we have thought one thing was going to happen, and suddenly the opposite occurred.
Remember when the Orioles were going to have to prepare for life without reliever Darren O'Day and first baseman Chris Davis? And then, in the winter of 2015-16, the Orioles found a way to pay for both.
That's why I hesitate to type these words: But I believe they've already been handwritten on the warehouse wall, anyway.
