Back at Camden Yards after spending six weeks at spring training, and sporting a new tuft of facial hair on his chin, Brian Roberts found a few minutes before the O’s home opener to chat with MASNsports.com’s Dan Kolko and give his first video blog of the 2011 season.

Fresh off a sweep of the defending AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays, Brian talked about the momentum that the O’s have been able to carry over from a strong finish to 2010, the strength of their lineup from 1-9 in the order, and the quality of the starting pitching to begin the season.

The O’s second baseman also asked for fan feedback and any blog ideas for this season, so feel free to send Brian your comments, and maybe he’ll use your idea on his video blog this year.
