I've been wanting them to let him pitch deeper into games for years now. My guess is part of the reason he was pulled today was because he was in line for his first win.

Ohhf. I hadn't checked Mancini's stats since a couple of weeks. He's still really scuffling.

Where is the need to rush? Why does Mountcastle get so much attention when Santander is having a harder time of it?

Yes.

If it ends up a save situation, who does Hyde bring in?

Welp, he went 91 pitches and the O's haven't conditioned him to go deeper into games than that. I don't have the numbers on hand but I'm not sure he ever hit 100 pitches in a start in the minors, if he did it was pretty rare.

Oh crap, Tornado watch.

That might actually be in the owner's price range.

That's not a thing. You can absolutely strike guys out and be pitch efficient. Top 10 in K/9 last season- 1. Rodón • SFG 11.983 2. Ohtani • LAA 11.873 3. Cole • NYY 11.527 4. Cease • CHW 11.103 5. Burnes • MIL 10.827 6. Morton • ATL 10.727 7. Gausman • TOR 10.563 8. McClanahan • TBR 10.497 9. Nola • PHI 10.317 10. Ray • SEA 10.095

Hopefully.

When his barrel%, hard hit %, exit velocity and stuff stop being very good? As for a replacement, you did see where Kjerstad has been starting at first right?

Exactly. Was why he should have started the season in the rotation.

O's had nine hits in the first game.

I agree. Unless he breaks first. I just don't like the idea of anointing one coach as being something special. It seems to me that every coach has some success stories and some guys they can't help.

Look what he's done with Hall.

I don't think you can plan around the assumption that Means will be back and pitching well enough to be a difference maker this season. It might very well happen but that can't be a key component of your strategy.

Hitters as well, for the most part.

Game off, unless you are suggesting McCann catch two?

Who the heck ever suggested he was?

I've been to Dunedin, it isn't an Island.

Not a fan of the concept of a guy being too good to be in the majors. He's just too promising to be on the ML roster.

He's making 1.4M.

His lack of development is concerning. He's basically the same guy Dan drafted.

Hall knows how to walk a batter, don't sell him short.

I'd rather they not burn the pen down 3 in the 8th.
