Jonathan Schoop played at Oriole Park at Camden Yards as a visitor for the first time Saturday, with the Orioles' longtime second baseman facing them as a member of the Minnesota Twins.

From thousands of empty seats at Camden Yards to boos for struggling first basemen Chris Davis, there were plenty of reminders of the Orioles' 2018 futility at the team's 2019 home opener. But the fans who showed up said they were encouraged by the rebuilding club's energy and winning start.

Orioles fans spent Thursday's Opening Day loss to the New York Yankees trying to get to know a team full of unfamiliar faces.

With the Orioles' 2019 season beginning with Thursday's Opening Day game against the Yankees, here's a look at what fans need to know for the upcoming season.

Now that he's found a spot, Adam Jones is eager for a bounce-back season. The 33-year-old outfielder drove in 93 runs last year, but his defensive statistics showed a decline.

Former Orioles center fielder Adam Jones was always a fascinating case of new-school player-evaluation methods disagreeing with the well-worn traits that baseball has valued for generations. His free agency showed how stark that was, both locally and nationally.

Adam Jones said last year at FanFest that he was excited about the prospect of free agency, but it obviously didn't live up to his expectations.

Former Orioles All-Star Adam Jones finally got his major league contract this week, agreeing to a one-year deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks, according to multiple reports.

Former Orioles outfielder Adam Jones will be treated "no different" than any other free agent as the Orioles monitor the market this offseason, executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said.

Adam Jones held his annual Ravens tailgate party to benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Baltimore and living classrooms on Sunday. He thinks the Orioles are in good hands with Mike Elias as new GM, but has not heard from the Orioles and doesn't know where he'll end up playing next season.

Young Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins has plenty to build on and much to work on after making his major league debut in August.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter led the Orioles to success as part of a wave taking over the game that emphasize bullpen usage and defense. That the rest of the league caught up and passed them on that front doesn't take away from the success it brought.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter cautions that Chris Davis' decline might not be reversible.

Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette said Monday that the team is "in the process of planning for the future" even as he awaits word on whether he will be offered a new contract.

Adam Jones has thrown out base runners in two of his last three starts in right field.

The Orioles put a dent into an early six-run deficit, drawing within one run after the top of the eighth, but the Yankees extended their lead on their way to a 10-8 win over the Orioles.

Right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis’ “shutdown” fourth inning set the tempo in a low-scoring game the Orioles have more often lost this year.

With the mostly intact husk of their recently successful rosters or the newly made-over version without any of the pedigree or star power, these Orioles have lost more often than any other team to wear the colors.

The Orioles might have picked the right time to make dubious history with the most losses in the history of the Baltimore franchise. Now there's nowhere to go but up.

Adam Jones' teammates believe that the Orioles should try their best to meld their plan of looking at younger players and giving Jones a proper launching pad into free agency this winter.

Orioles fans need to let ownership know how much Adam Jones means to them.

A few weeks to see if their young players can hack it before the team has to begin making plans for 2019 and beyond could make a big difference by the time they and the Orioles are ready for the big time again.

Jones returned to the starting lineup for the series opener against the A’s, perhaps to show everyone that his absence wasn’t punitive or to show that the Orioles are aware of their responsibility to put a competitive team on the field.

The Orioles couldn’t control being able to trade Jones, but they can control whether to put his name in the starting lineup every day.
