We are breaking down all aspects of Yankee baseball.

This is the Bronx Pinstripe show with your host, Andrew Rotondi and Scott Rhinan.

Let's go.

Join for the third, possibly fourth, definitely not fifth year in a row to preview the Baltimore

Orioles. Eric RDT covers Baltimore for Barstall Sports, also hosts the X-F52 podcast. Eric, welcome

back to the show, man. Thank you for having me. Like we were talking about off offense become a

tradition now. And it's, it's it's it's it's funny

to see how it's progressed from being like uh maybe we'll be okay to now being like this

this is going to be a fun season so we we definitely know this is a at least your third time

previewing baltimore with me the first year I'm sure I spent most of the episode mocking the

Orioles. The second year, I was probably like, yeah, you guys had like a surprisingly good season.

Like, you know, maybe you'll be okay this year. And now I'm sitting here and you won 101 damn ball games,

won the ALE East. And I don't know about you. I. There were some early, early spring projections from some sports books and things that had

Baltimore at like 88, 89 wins at the time.

This was before the Corbyn Burns trade.

But even before the Corbyn Burns trade, I'm like, how are you getting to 11 or 12 worse

lower than last year?

That just didn't add up in my mind.

What were your thoughts on some of those projections?

I mean, the Orioles over the last year were 76 and a half.

And like you said, they won 101.

Like, they cleared that in early September.
