The Baltimore Orioles are struggling early in the season, sitting last in the American League East with a 21-29 record after a 5-3 loss to the Rays. Analyst Ben McDonald criticized the team’s reliance on analytics, emphasizing the need for effective gameplay and consistency. Despite offseason additions like All-Star Pete Alonso, who has nine home runs but a subpar OPS, the team ranks 18th in offense and 26th in ERA. Manager Craig Albernaz acknowledged the team’s challenges, particularly in finishing games, as they face a tough path forward.
