The Baltimore Orioles finished 79-82, fourth in the AL East, but Pete Alonso's historic 43-home-run season changed the narrative. We analyze their division standing, the impact of the rain-cancelled finale against the Yankees, and the urgent need for starting pitching upgrades.

Key players discussed include Pete Alonso, Gunnar Henderson, Jackson Holliday, Samuel Basallo, and Chris Bassitt. We evaluate the infield synergy, the bullpen reliance on Felix Bautista, and the development of Coby Mayo and Blaze Alexander. The episode also covers the prospect pipeline involving Trey Gibson and Cade Povich.

Our predictions suggest the Orioles can reach 95 wins with two new starters, or remain at 80 without them. We discuss the strategic necessity of addressing the rotation void to compete in the tough AL East landscape.
