Question: With the signing of Chris Bassitt, and assuming everyone is healthy, would the Orioles consider a 6-man rotation, which I’m not a fan of? If not, does Dean Kremer move to the bullpen? From: Greg Fuchs
Answer: Greg, the Orioles are a long way from making decisions on the rotation. On Thursday, manager Craig Albernaz said that the team would consider several alternatives, including a six-man rotation, though that would be difficult to make work.
It’s going to be an interesting camp with a lot to write about. Who fits where won’t be decided until perhaps the final week.
Question: Is MASN+ available to YouTube customers? I stream television through YouTube. I want to get the Orioles’ telecasts as I live in Connecticut. How do I go about getting these broadcasts on my TV not my computer. From: Bill Brown
Answer: Bill, another reader, Rob Bobzien, lives in Oregon and wants to know if he can get MASN+ or get MLBTV.
MASN+ is only available in the Orioles’ broadcast market, which doesn’t include Connecticut. It’s not available on YouTube. It is available on Apple TV, Roku and Amazon Fire TV.
For Oriole fans on the West Coast, they’ll have to get the telecasts on MLBTV since MASN+ is only available in the mid-Atlantic.
