The Baltimore Orioles finished 79-82 in fourth place in the AL East, with Pete Alonso hitting his 43rd home run to take the AL lead. Despite a 10-2 victory over the Yankees, a rain-canceled finale left the season unresolved. This episode analyzes the impact of division rivalries, the critical need for starting pitching acquisitions, and how league-wide trends like the ABS challenge system affect Baltimore's future outlook.

Key topics include Pete Alonso's historic power display against New York, the strategic evaluation of the Orioles' rotation featuring Chris Bassitt and Shane Baz, and the internal competition at third base among Blaze Alexander and Coby Mayo. We discuss David Stearns' comments on losing Alonso and how Jacob Misiorowski's historic ERA/K stats set a benchmark for Baltimore's pitching targets.

The hosts explore whether acquiring two reliable starting pitchers can push Baltimore from 79 wins to the 85-95 range. Insights cover Gunnar Henderson's continued dominance, Jackson Holliday's development, and Samuel Basallo's defensive stability. The episode concludes with a look at how umpire call management via the ABS system could provide a competitive edge for the O's in the upcoming season.
