Not to derail this thread from Bradish, but it's an interesting question - would Elias have promoted Machado for the 2012 stretch run?  I think probably not.

I do hope we see some aggressive promotions this year.  Bradish certainly looks like a candidate.

I was thinking more along the lines of performance rather than need at the big league level. 

24 years old, no runs allowed in 13 innings and averaging 2 K's a frame.  The writing is on the wall in big letters.  I'd still expect one or two more starts in Bowie, but time for Triple A and hopefully we see him in Baltimore this summer.

Why not? We have no idea how Elias will run the roster on a legit contending team, or with a top prospect who has clearly played like it.

When he was in Houston they promoted some of their guys aggressively, and while he wasn’t pushing the buttons, I imagine he will adapt to what the situation calls for.

If there was ever a time for a quick promotion.....

Whenever Bradish and Hall start getting to 100 pitches then it will be a matter of when they're called up. I dont think either one needs more than a few AAA starts, if any. Elias might think differently, and decide this MLB season means nothing and keep them down. Then they have Brnovich in High A only allowing one baserunner per start.

I love what Bradish has shown so far this year and would like to see him go a couple more starts and pitch 5+ innings and then get the bump to Triple-A. If he continues to dominate there I would love to see him in Baltimore by around August after the trade deadline passes and we see where we stand with needs.

Not to derail you, but the O’s don’t let their MiL pitchers throw 100 pitches very often.  Hall never did in 2019; in fact, he only cracked 90 five times.   Lowther only topped 100 three times that year, Wells never did, Akin only once, Kremer only once.   Good chance they’ll be even more conservative this year as they try to limit workload over the full season after last year’s inactivity.

Ok well I guess i'll revise that to 90 pitches then. But this is the year they both will be knocking on the door so things could be accelerated for them.

    • Seems like a good thread to consider whether Mansolino has done a good job generally.   The O’s have been thrown out at home only 11 times, tied for 6th fewest in MLB (13.3 is average).   They have scored from 1st on a double 41.5% of the time, vs. league average of 38.2% of the time. They have scored from 2B on a single 62.9% of the time, vs. league average 61.8% of the time.   The O’s have been thrown out at 3B 6 times, tied for 3rd fewest in MLB. They have gone 1st to 3rd on a single 36.2% of the time, vs. league average 31.9%.   So, the overall profile is that the O’s take an extra base to get to 3B or score on a single or a double at a greater rate than the average team, yet they are thrown out trying to do those things less than the average team. Not all the credit or the blame for these things falls on the 3B coach.   And, there are some plays involving the 3B coach that I can’t capture, like scoring from 3B on a fly out or a ground ball.   However, based on what we can capture, I think you’d have to say that Mansolino has done a pretty good job, despite individual decisions that may have been wrong.  
    • Looks like AL East and AL West have same deal with 7 to play - 5 game leads and the chaser has three at the first place team. Royals now having lost 6 in a row - the 5/6/7 is fuzzy. Tuesday night will only be some fun if the O's pick up a game today - 1 back with a sweep going to the final weekend an opportunity, 2 back with a sweep going to the final weekend a mirage.     The Orioles have played the showdown generally into Grapefruit League mode, but at least yesterday was not a playoff game. NYY in great shape for 1 seed, won regular season series 4-2 over CLE, so effectively 3 up in the loss column.    CLE one of the few clubs with two off days in the final week, and a likely bye to rest that hard worked cadre of relievers.    That said, the Astros do play the Guardians the final weekend, and could be within striking distance of that valuable seeding into the ALDS round.
    • Nope..corn can be a slang for weed.  You are a morally bankrupt human being!!!!!!
    • Anything hit in the outfield no matter how deep you automatically tag up. That is learned in little league. This is not hard. I had a play exactly like this in town ball. You go back to the bag and then watch. As soon as the shortstop went down off you go and the game is over. Why that third base coach was pointing DOWN the line is a cardinal sin. Don't fire the guy but give him a solid scolding. 
    • Typical fail for SG on the literacy test.
    • So then I don't think he gets optioned. I think they save him for the postseason roster. I see Johnson and Jimenez going for Westburg and Urias. Mountcastle may not be back till the playoffs. 
    • For the O's they won game after game like this last year. For the Ravens go back to 2012 I guess. Im in South Florida at least you guys dont have to put up with the Dolphins. Now thats a team that will get on youre nerves.
