Back to EpisodesBDB 2025 Season Review Series Episode #9 - The Baltimore Orioles (w/ Sports Man Dan!)
Description
It's time for our first Season Review Series of the New Year - so we thought we'd begin our year in familiar territory with Dan's Baltimore Orioles!
Joining Cal & Dan on this episode is Sports Man Dan (Dan's alter ego)!
The Orioles had a pretty poor season in 2025, finishing with a record of 75-87, which led to a 5th place finish in the AL East!
The Orioles' season got off to a terrible start and by mid-May, it seemed like the writing was on the wall. Gunnar Henderson wasn't hitting much and with the loss of Santander in free agency, it was a real struggle for the offense in the early going!
It wasn't much better on the pitching side, with Grayson Rodriguez going down injured early on in the season and Felix Bautista also ending the year on the injured list - the rotation really struggled in the early months of the season!
Cue the return of Trevor Rogers to the rotation - who pitched to a 9-3 record with a 1.80 ERA down the stretch!
With Rogers holding down the rotation, a lot of the Orioles did find some form towards the back end of the season with Henderson ending up with 17 HRs!
With a youthful core coming to an end soon in Baltimore - what does 2026 have in store for the Orioles?
Joining us on this episode is Sports Man Dan!
So have a listen as review the Orioles' season and Dan lets us know what we have to look forward to in 2026 - Happy Listening!
