If it is Coronvirus protocol he could come off at any time after a sufficient number of negative tests.

So the guys Elias are picking up are two year projects instead of two months? You don't actually believe this right?

I think it is easier to send pitchers down than it is hitters. You can always point to an innings crunch as an excuse to send a guy down, even if he is pitching well.

I think you misunderstood my point. It didn't take the Astros multiple years to turn around the careers of folks like Verlander, Cole and Morton. That is what we are talking about here, not overall winning and losing.

And field balls without hurting himself. ?

I think he doesn't make it to spring training 2021 as an Oriole.

Right, because he's not a jackass. That's commendable. It still doesn't mean anything.

I'm not mad. I'm amused. What else is Stewart going to say? It's nice he's talking up the guys down there but it's meaningless. And it's hilarious how every piece of off the scrap heap pitching that gets grabbed to eat some non-competitive innings is ripe for a turn around under the Elias Pitching System TM.

Didn't take this long in Houston.

What does it matter? Elias can just claim some guys off the waiver wire and fix them. They don't need the guys at Bowie.

I think a case can be made for each of those names that no definitive improvement has taken place. One of the names you listed has an ERA (and FIP) over 8 this season. We have not seen the type of turnaround with pitchers that the Astros had. Not even close.

Nice try but Davis was already here when Elias joined the club.

Who has Elias claimed and turned around?

Sometimes.

Worse case scenario it's a save situation for the guy that follows him into the game.

Six run lead I'd let him have a full night off.

For those folks still concerned with quality starts.

He was on the ring team right? Buys a lot of fan support.

I'm looking at the Mountcastle hit off Cole and he hit 98 that was well above the strike zone. Crazy bat speed.

It does, and pitch count isn't a factor.

Probably an unpaid intern. ?

That's not going to look good on the yearly performance review.

Pay the man!

Nice, on an 0-2 count.
