Over 50 pitches, more than I was expecting.

Agreed. I thought maybe, MAYBE, they'd let him throw ten. Got to ease him back into things. Can't have him getting injured again

[IPlayGM]

Is health his only question mark at this point? Or are there still questions about command?

[waroriole]

How many innings should we expect out of Hall this year? I would guess 100 max. 

[oldfan]

Sounds good, 5 innings or 80 pitches.

I think Elias hinted at that being the approximate goal.

I love this interview.  Seems like a great kid.  You'd think minor league players could get MiLB.tv for free, but I'm impressed that he's paying for it out of pocket.

He did sign an overslot deal as a first round pick and had a signing bonus of 3M.  He can afford MiLB.tv.

We know he can afford it.  That's not my point.

I wonder when Hall is pitching this week.  Bowie’s starters for the week are listed on milb.com as Watson, Rom,  Velez, Peek, Stallings and TBD.   I doubt they are going to hold Hall back until Sunday.

I was thinking of going Thursday if he’d be pitching then, but now I see that’s an 11 am game.

If things go well, I don’t see any reason for Hall to be in the minors beyond mid June or so.  Let him build up his arm for the next 4-6 weeks and once that is accomplished, if he is performing and healthy, get him up here.

I came in here hoping to find an answer to this question too. If he were to pitch Wednesday or Thursday I’d like to go to the game.

I’m inclined to agree.   But let’s see how he does.

Hall has never pitched in Triple-A. Given Elias' preferences I would expect him to make many starts in Triple-A before seeing the big leagues

He's on the 40.  Why waste a 40 man slot and blow up his age 23 season?

How long is that elbow going to hold together with him throwing 100?

Also, not that Elias isn't less than truthful at times, but he did talk about Hall pitching in the majors this year.

I think we see Hall by Aug 1 (assuming everything goes well). As to the rest, I don't disagree...but Elias has proven that he really values the step by step approach, and I don't see him deviating
