DL Hall 2022

[Frobby]

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 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.

Hall and Perez both 98+ leftside brought back Myers-Charlton on the '90 Reds memories.    Felix feels a little bit more grounded than Dibble.

Add T. Wells and Grayson to that mix...I don't know if there's a stable 1425 innings for 2023 in mid-September's personnel, but they only gotta play a few weeks.

If Hall turns out to be c. 2014 Andrew Miller, I don’t think I’d be mad about 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.

In the pen I'm fine with him concentrating on two pitches.

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.
