Pete Alonso is keeping the faith after a disappointing start to the Orioles season. The Baltimore Orioles now sit at 15-20 on the season after a brutal 12-1 loss to their AL East division rival, the New York Yankees, on Monday—a defeat that completed a series sweep. This marks the fifth straight loss for the Orioles, all coming by at least five runs.

While it's far from ideal, the team's notable free-agent signing, Pete Alonso, remains optimistic. After Monday's loss, Alonso delivered a statement that should give fans some reassurance: "It's still early, but we've got to get going, for sure. It's not about how you start, it's about how and where you finish. I think we can draw back from this really tough experience and use this in a positive way."

Alonso believes the team can turn things around, and with 127 games still remaining, there's plenty of time to get the ball rolling. Given the talent on this roster—featuring big-time bats like Gunnar Henderson, Taylor Ward, Adley Rutschman, and Alonso himself—it's hard to imagine them staying near the bottom of the AL East for long.

That said, the pitching will need to improve. The starting rotation has struggled mightily, with four of their starters either holding or nearly holding a 5.00 ERA. That's a big reason why the Orioles are currently five games below .500. Last season, Baltimore was one of the most disappointing teams in the league, and based on Alonso's statement, it's clear they don't want a repeat performance this year.

For fans and players alike, the message is simple: stay patient, keep the faith, and trust that this team has what it takes to turn the season around.
