The Orioles won 12 straight games crossing over from 9/30/15 through 4/12/16.  

So the 9 straight wins is only the longest IN SEASON win streak since 9/7/99 through 9/22/99 when they won 13 straight.

The Orioles have been known for carry-over win streaks with 5 win streaks of 9+ games extending from 1 season into the next, including

--1970 (ending 1971): 14

--1971: 13

--2015: 12

--1974: 10

--1995: 9

If you're looking ahead, the Orioles have had 13 streaks of 10+ wins since moving to Baltimore and 3 more as the Browns.  The longest win streak in franchise history is 14, accomplished 3 times (once as the Browns in 1923, twice as the Orioles 1973 and 1970-71).

On the plus side, the Orioles are in rarified air already.  Since 1954 they have had win streaks of:

exactly 7: 32 times

8: 15

9: 8

10: 5

11: 1

12: 1

13: 3

14: 2

Eight men out and the original Angels in the outfield.

Love Major League but it essentially copied Bill Durham.

Sandlot is "right up there" with the Bad News Bears in the sense that Nickelback is "right up there" with the Beatles.

By far, you have been my favorite OH contributor since I joined this board in September of 2003.  In 19 years I think this is the only time I have so completely and violently disagreed with you.  Field of Dreams is not just the greatest baseball movie of all time, it's the GREATEST movie of all time.  I once broke up with a girl because she thought it was a silly movie about grown men in a corn field.  If DrungoHazewood could be so wrong about this what else is he wrong about???  It's like growing up to find out Brooks Robinson bet on baseball, cheated on his wife, regularly kicked his dog, and sold nuclear secrets to the Russians.  I just don't know what to believe anymore.  

Be better DrungoHazewood.  Be better.

It’s a shame that Bertram got real lost in the 60’s afterwards.

      Interesting Article About Scott Boras and Orioles

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      You bring up a great observation about the Lightning. They are in the same city and are not a small market. I would argue that the reason why is because they have managed to capture the hearts/attention of the marketplace. IMO you don't do that by allowing your fans to carry constant anxiety about who's going to be here this year and who will be gone. Of course there is roster turnover in all pro and college sports. But there also has to be some stability and confidence amongst your fans/customers that the org is as invested as me (Joe Blow the fan) and not indifferent (won't do what it takes for us/team to win it all).

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Is that the best model to pattern after? The outlier? Elias does not and should not ever have to go "all in on one season". I've never been sure what that realistically looks like other than a fear mantra that was created by someone who is so attached to the notion that the O's must retain every prospect in order to fulfill some kind of fan fantasy of having an "all homegrown team". Rubenstein should and MUST offer the necessary support to Elias in order to sustain winning. When I hear "hands off" I hear uninterested and uninvolved which is not what I have observed from Rubenstein who has been at EVERY SINGLE GAME that I have attended this year. "Hands off" to me seems to be the opposite of Rubenstein and not desirable at all. IMO great orgs/companies/teams need great leadership from the top. Also, there can realistically be no repeat of the Duquette years. That org/administration never had a firm foundation and the success was always built on a house of cards. It always felt we arrived at competitive/good by accident. Lastly, I have NEVER EVER said anything close to "prospects be damned". But I don't it will serve us will to be dogmatic about any singular approach. True genius is in the ability to adapt. We will have a limited ceiling like (Tampa Bay Rays/Guardians) if we are going to limit ourselves to being a prospect only/homegrown team.

      I don’t think they pay him 22M.  2/35-3/48 type deal. Leas AAV for more years.

      He really seems like good trade bait. Enough talent to get a veteran reliever, not enough talent that we need to keep him.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      I would be shocked if Elias traded Basallo, Mayo, or Holliday.   I don’t think it’s happening.  I’m tempted to say zero chance of that happening.

      I mean, yeah, in theory. But if you don't think he's subtly or not-so-subtly steering his clients towards free agency with years of material/arguments that make it seem like the smartest idea (and he would know, look at his track record, etc), then that's pretty naive.  Like, yeah, if his client is adamant about something, sure. But if they're on the fence, he's a master manipulator.

      I dont think it matters in the playoffs. You need a little bit of luck in a 5 or a 3 game series.
