00:00We got other teams to talk about, which includes the Baltimore Orioles.
00:03Again, higher expectations on the season.
00:05Not leading up to the hype right now, Craig.
00:0722 and 29 on the season.
00:09Eight and eight teams.
00:10We have to play 26 teams, Craig.
00:12Early in the season, above 500, four and seven in one-run games.
00:15And a little bit outperforming their record here.
00:17Supposed to be, I guess, based on the metrics, 20 and 31.
00:20But they sit at 22 and 29.
00:22High expectations for that lineup.
00:23Just need to find some pitching here, Craig.
00:25With seven games under 500 here, Memorial Day weekend.
00:28Yeah, we got to call it what it is.
00:29Look, the new owner comes in, David Rubenstein, a couple of years ago.
00:32And, you know, sort of, you know, it makes sense, Donnie.
00:35You take over something new.
00:36You don't want to make massive changes right away.
00:39What you want to do is kind of get a feel for how the club is.
00:42Who's there?
00:43Who's in the building?
00:44This happens just in business in general.
00:46But, Donnie, what do you think is going to happen at the end of this year?
00:49Like, I don't know.
00:50It feels like, to me, it's a total wipeout.
00:53Craig Albernaz, the manager.
00:54I don't know that this is necessarily his fault.
00:56But, after one year, I mean, if this team loses close to 100 games, Donnie,
01:00I don't know what they just say or do.
01:02I mean, Pete Alonzo, they signed him.
01:04They didn't add to the pitching.
01:06And, look, it's been a disaster.
01:08Let's call it what it is.
01:09The Orioles have been a disaster.
01:10This was supposed to be a 29-22 team.
01:13Instead, they're on the other side of it.
01:15I don't see it getting any better.
01:16It all starts with pitching, Craig.
01:186.87 ERA, 4.13, 4.87, 5.51, 4.25.
01:23You can't win if you can't pitch.
01:24And that's rule number one in Major League Baseball.
