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: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.

      Meh that’s fair.

      My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.

      But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      By Pickles · Posted

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
