I was at last night’s game and Hall was pretty spectacular, mixing the 97-98 mph fastball with the 85-87 mph change-up.   I don’t think he threw anything else.   Got a foul pop-up to Mateo and two strikeouts.  Bottom line, if he throws strikes and gets ahead in the count, he’s devastating.   

The reaction from DL, Adley and the crowd when DL got the inning-ending strikeout was really fun.  Adley was all pumped up and came leaping out of his crouch shaking his fist like we’d just won the World Series.  And you could tell a large portion of the crowd knew the Hall backstory as they roared their approval as Adley and DL bumped fists and marched to the dugout.

I was at this game.  While it's disappointing, here are a few notes.  The weather was definitely a factor today.  It's clearly the hottest/most humid day we've had this series.   The bullpen

Part of the problem with following the minors as closely as people on this board do is they follow every start and sometimes every inning of young men who are still developing and then rising and fall

O's are 13-6 in July and improving but there are fans that think Elias does not know what he is doing.

I think he threw at least one curve for a ball.  I think he started the 2nd or 3rd hitter with an attempted back door curve.  Very impressive but he was lights out in Norfolk in one relief appearance too.  How often do we get this version of Hall? 

He could be a real weapon out of the pen this month but I'll hold my breath in his next appearance to see if he can repeat it.

I still haven’t seen the excellent breaking stuff that he showed last season. That was a huge component of what I liked about him. 

He did throw two curves, but he was just blowing them away with fastball/change up no reason to go with anything else. He faced three righties, might have seen the slider if he had faced a lefty.

Was really cool to see how happy Adley was for him, and stadium was loud. Really fun game to be at

Told you guys that were yearning for Hall that he wasn’t ready to be here. Boo on Hyde for leaving our difference makers on the bench in a 1 run game while letting Hall get beat up. 

Yes Hyde should have burned a "difference maker".  I'm sure they could have held the Jays to negative two runs.

Funny.  Did you post anything after his 1st appearance?

Maybe Mike Marshall was right, and Felix Bautista can throw 200 innings out of the pen while Hall is spending the next 3-4 years in the minors learning to channel his inner Dennis Eckersley.

How so ..it was a 1 run game?

 

Perez and Tate were also available…show me where I was advocating for Bautista!

He might never be a major leaguer or might turnout to be Cy Young. Right now he’s just a kid who clearly isn’t ready. Putting him in at 1 run differential was stupid.

If the Jays are ahead by one and you take two runs away that puts the Orioles ahead by one.

If you are asking the bullpen to produce negative runs why stop at one for the tie?

The Orioles have like 10 relievers, and you're suggesting that anytime the game is close they really have 2-3 relievers. I don't think that's going to work.  You can't just use Perez, Tate, Bautista for the last three or four innings of every game that's close.  We want all these guys intact for 2023.

      No, as it appears to be a group think decision, where all have some input.  In the end it really doesn't matter if it's all Elias, Sigbot or Hyde or some combination of the 3, Hyde is the one who defends it to the media/fans, and he's the one who gets paid to take the critism/blame.  Either way, starting Slater is the move that WHOEVER make the decisions appears to love, so that's what I expect to see, even if it doesn't make sense based on this years performances.

      Baker optioned, Davidson called up

      By eddie83 · Posted

      I’m guessing he may be bulk reliever later in game. Have to see.

      You think Hyde alone makes the decision?

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      Gil has been terrible in his last 2 starts, he has  given up 10 earned runs in 11 innings

      It's a meaningless game so hard to read anything into it. It could also be more of an "opener" gambit so that Davidson can be brought in with favorable matchups. For a team that believes so strongly in matchups, I don't know why we don't use the opener more often, especially when it has been effective against us.

      Both are deserving. That’s not the point. How they construct the pen in ‘25 may be different. None of the guys you mentioned have been pen guys, although McDermott probably should be. Young and Rogers are more of a starter repertoire. Armbruster and others, like Tony said in another thread, should be pen arms. You need flexible and effective arms to move up and down, while they gain experience. We need some guys with some swing and miss stuff. Adding Bautista back into the back end moves everyone down a notch, but some of the guys we have now will likely have to move on for the purposes of flexibility. There is always some natural turnover, and for good reason.

      And?  If they were buying his career stats, then they were fooled by a bait and switch.  Yeah, career numbers are good, but they don't reflect the reality of this year.  .541 OPS against LHP.  Elias/Hyde has a tendency to bring in guys who might have had good career numbers, but who are not playing at that level in the current year, but then letting them play like they are performing at career levels.  Slaters numbers this year don't reflect that he should be getting starts versus LHP over Cowser, even with the struggles Cowser has had.  That said, I fully expect to see Slater starting as that's the move Hyde will love, and will then speak eloquently at how great Slater is hitting against LHP this year, even though that's clearly a lie.
