He is one of my favorite guys on the team. So happy for him. He didn’t moan when he got sent down last year. He was grinding over the winter to get better and is working with someone on the mental side. Just a great story and now a guy that has forced his way into the rotation. -
He is a great story. We will have to continue to make room for him because he is the 90% outcome for many behind him.

I think Cal's record was able to happen because of a time in O's history when there was no strong manager. I doubt Cal's streak would have made it to one season if he had played his whole season under Weaver. Weaver was way ahead of his time on matchups, platoons and resting players. The bigger thing about Cal's streak, imo was that it was allowed to happen, where it took on a life of it's own, dwarfing the team. I'm not diminishing the feat, but there's rarely a player that plays 162 games in a year now. It's just recognized that people wear down and need rest. I want to say to that probably the 5 players behind Cal on the streak list did things to basically cheat and prolong their streak especially Gehrig, where he would hit once and then not play the rest of the game. -
Goes right back to Ted Williams. Get a good pitch to hit and drive it. -
There was an attempt to debunk this article in the other O'Hearn thread where it's the OP, but in it O'Hearn explains that his efforts to change launch angle and severely limit when he swings underlie the improved performance since coming to the Orioles. -

I'm thinking that Suarez can be that extra high leverage arm the O's need. Someone who can take some of the closing pressure off Kimbrel. No, Hyde, the closer doesn't have to get every save. I hate when Hyde uses every high leverage arm in a single game then the next game you just have the B squad. -

Would have been nice for his campaign if he had been allowed to go 8 or even go for the shutout.
