If all were right in the world, the Baltimore Orioles would be in St. Louis on Thursday for the Cardinals' home opener. Instead, they remain sheltered in place, mostly in Florida. O's reliever Richard Bleier is a new dad of just 11 weeks. His daughter, Murphy, came into the world, leaving Bleier to reinvent his definition of a high-leverage situation."Trying to figure out how to be a parent is obviously a whole new thing, and now, (I'm) trying to figure out how to keep her safe," he said. "It's crazy. I just remember at the beginning of this, you see, like, people with gloves or masks, and it's like, 'Oh, you know.' And now, it's, like, 'I need a mask and gloves.' And everybody's kind of walking around like it's straight out of a movie. It's really scary, honestly."His focus travels beyond family. Earlier this week, Bleier brought lunch for the ER staff at Wellington Regional Medical Center in South Florida."I feel like it's the nurses and doctors that are on the front lines of this, dealing with all the sick people and stuff," Bleier said. "The least I could do was to provide for them a meal to help them get through one day."All the while, he knows he must remain sharp for when the games return. Workouts are well scheduled, and thanks to a WhatsApp group for the entirety of Orioles Major League camp, peer pressure thrives."One of the positive things about staying in touch with one another is holding each other accountable. And seeing that, OK, everybody else is doing stuff, so I need to be doing stuff," Bleier said.Recognizing it's not a big deal right now, Bleier knows he was ready for a great season -- a bounce-back campaign the O's badly need."I haven't hit 90 mph in spring training in my career. And I was 88-90, pitching right around the 89-90 mark my last couple of games of spring," he said.From his West Palm Beach home, Bleier has everything he needs to stay sharp. A covered mound, "60 feet 6 inches," and his helpful pitching coach, Rocky.
