I hate they make him wait a week between starts, but I guess if he can two starts in next week it works out just as well, plus I see why they would want him to pitch at home.

With Monday offdays cemented, chances to pitch every 5th day are thin for everybody.   Hall did once, but some weeks like this one Bowie just won't do Tuesday-Sunday at all.    Pretty much with every pitcher prospect this year I'm just curious to see if they can make it to 20 GS/100 IP, and how much if any some of them will be allowed to work past those round numbers.    Certainly in Rodriguez the Orioles perhaps have one of the planet's best pitchers who happened to be in his Age-20 season when covid blipped one out, so more at stake for us than some other orgs how we puzzle it out.

BA guessed 11th behind 10 hitters this past week, but I feel like these next couple months he can start leapfrogging even those guys every start or two if he keeps dealing 80, 90-some pitches that let you keep the biggest Jose Fernandez/Stephen Strasburg-ish candles lit.     

Akron's a better AA team that maybe ought to punch him in the mouth a little if the AA jump is all its cracked up to be (I don't think the first 2 appearances against Hartford/Binghamton were by accident).

Easy 100 miles per hour and working fast. I really like the pitch clock in the minors, it encourages guys to work faster. I have never actually seen it result in any repercussions for pitchers who let

I understand off days every Monday make it tricky, but I would think guys like Hall and Rodriguez should be given priority to work on a regular schedule, even though they would have to get an extra day if their turn falls on Monday.

I'd like to see the top prospects go every fifth day and let them pitch a little more. I hate to see them come out after 4 2/3, even though I'm the only one who cares if they win. It seems like they ought to be up to 90-100 pitches by now.

It’s at least a legit cover. Probably some truth to it as well. 

I'm sure.  I wouldn't run him or Hall into the ground but I haven't seen any evidence that they need to handled this carefully.  I'd like for them to be able to throw without restrictions in the majors in 2023.  I'm not sure Elias is building to that.

Lots of hype and probably the most pressure packed start of his young career tonight.

Be interesting to see how he handles it.

Can’t wait. I’ll be in section 101 about 8 rows back. Hopefully I don’t jinx GRod like I did Hall.

      Elias…DFA Kimbrel now!!

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By Flightless · Posted

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
