The Orioles scored two runs in the first minute of the game and went on to win. There is a 0:41 The last time the Baltimore Orioles took the field, Cal Ripken Jr. was at third base and Albert Belle was in the right field position. The year was 1999 The oldest Oriole on the roster was 9 years old. They ranged from 5 to 6. It's been a while since the Birds have been the talk of baseball, at least for something other than losing 100 games, a dubious feat accomplished by the O's in each of the past three years. Thanks to a different kind of streak from this year's O's, that run may be coming to an end in 2022. The last time the O's had a sustained winning streak was five years ago. You don't remember what it is. A daily reminder is being given to the Orioles. The O's won their 45th game of the season on Wednesday when they defeated the Cubs 7-1. Their record is above.500 for the first time this year. Since the beginning of the year, they have had a winning record. Brandon Hyde said his phone has been busy, as friends around the league are excited about his team. Hyde was the bench coach for the Cubs when they made the playoffs in four straight years. They're happy for me and our team, and to see something positive coming out of Baltimore, where it's been hard over the years. The All-Star Game in Los Angeles is just around the corner.

The Orioles had finished last in the previous two seasons before Hyde was hired. They had their lowest winning percentage since moving to Baltimore.
He was aware of what he was getting into. It wasn't simple.
Hyde smirked and said "No, no, no." I was surprised by a lot of things when I first arrived in Baltimore.
It seems to be working out. Baltimore played eight games below 500 on June 1st. The squad has not lost a game in over two months. The Baltimore Orioles have won at least 10 in a row after finishing the previous season with the worst record in the league.
They're doing it on the mound, where they have the second-best earned run average in the American League during the streak, and they're doing it at the plate. With two outs and runners in scoring position, the Orioles are hitting.366. They won three straight games when they were behind in the ninth or later.
Before this streak, we had two tough losses in Minnesota. We were still in the game. We looked in the mirror to see that we had become a team. All year, we're playing well.
Fredi Gonzalez said he could tell something was different in the first weeks of the season. The Orioles didn't want to be a pushover anymore, even though they didn't know what steps they would take in 2022.
Gonzalez said that when they played the Yankees, they played them hard. They know that we're going to be a battle. We are competing with the big boys all the time. The early series had an effect.
The Orioles won their first two games against New York andTampa Bay, setting the tone for what they're doing now. The pitching staff is credited with being the difference maker. A rag tag group landing in Baltimore after being DFA'd, released or simply set aside by other teams is getting it done.
The deadline is in a few weeks. Which players could end the season on another team?
A single player should be traded for all 30 MLB teams.
Passan has almost 150 names to know.
What should your teammates do?
Austin Voth said it was a bunch of guys trying to prove they have something left in the tank. It's time for them to show they can pitch in this league.
Voth was claimed off waivers last month from the Nationals, where he had a 10.13 earned run average in 19 games. He's made eight appearances for Baltimore and has a 3.80 earned run average.
Hyde said that he liked them because of that. They are guys that have been around for a while and may not have gotten the right opportunity. They are all taking advantage of their opportunities
The O's have been ranked dead last in the MLB in three of the past four seasons, and their pitching transformation has been a focus of the regime.
Voth was blown away by the data that they have. The video guys are able to break down the statistics. Things for each pitcher. It was a big deal for me.
It's part of a package of things that he brought with him from Houston after he was hired.
The relationship Hyde has with Mike is one thing Gonzalez has noticed. They know each other. It's necessary when you're losing a lot of games.
When the manager takes a beating for a long time, and you're ready to win, they bring in someone else. This wasn't the place where that happened. Hopefully he will be able to see it all the way through.
Even though Hyde has one more year on his contract, there is a chance that he will make the playoffs as soon as this season. It won't be easy for the Orioles to jump the teams ahead of them in the wild card race.
There are three instances in the Wild Card era in which all teams in a division are.500 or better on July 13 or later. The Orioles are the only ones doing it with the lowest opening day payroll. Chris Davis, who retired last year, received $23 million.
A lot of people think we are a different team than we have been before. It's a testament to what we did and what our manager did. During the tough times, you couldn't tell what was on his body. He has been a big reason for our success.
It was difficult to hide the toll of the losses from his players.
It's close to draft day. The team is zeroing in on someone.
The mock draft is in the top 300.
The baseball draft is on Sunday. July 17 is on the air.
He said that it took a long time. I'm proud of that. I've tried to be patient and hold guys accountable.
From here, the squad's future looks better. The Baltimore farm system is starting to find its way to the big league. While the organization is bound to add another huge talent this weekend when they once again draft first, the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft is proving he belongs.
The arrow is pointing in the right direction. After four years with Hyde, they have adopted an attitude that is familiar to many rebuilding teams who are tired of sitting on the sideline.
It's nice that we're being talked about in a positive way, but it was the opposite in the past.
This isn't the final goal. There is no feeling of satisfaction.
