Well I can promise you that if he doesn’t strike more guys out and continues to not miss bats, he won’t be at this level for long.  

Now, the last 2 starts he has missed bats and if that trend continues, his ceiling rises.

The idea that you like him and watched him in college doesn’t make him a better pitcher than he is.  

lol there you go again with a terrible prediction. You think the strikeout rate is authentic? It’s a fluke. His career was near 11k/9 in nearly 250 innings. He’s gonna be ok. But his analytics are among the very best in baseball. That’s a fact. Your last sentence.. you just can’t help yourself…  Try to be nice to you and you’re pathologically incapable of not being a snarky dick.

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.

Not at all.  You are acting like because you saw him that means you know everything about him.

All I’m saying is that there are real things to look at and it’s not just fanboy stuff like “I really like him” or “he has something a lot of guys don’t”. That’s not real.  
 

I appreciate the fact that you have prior knowledge of watching him but you are obviously biased in what you are saying.  Nothing wrong with that but you should be willing to admit it.

He does have some great stats right now but the lack of Ks and missed bats will take a toll over time.  Now, if things change and he starts to go a different direction that could be a game changer but no matter how much you like him, you can’t sit there and believe that more Ks and more missed bats doesn’t increase his ceiling.

It looks like Jeter Downs and Franchy Cordero will be facing him tonight. 

The Tides' official twitter account has a weird tweet that says the game will be the "MLB.TV free game of the day" and will also be broadcast live on "the Orioles homepage." I can't believe either of those are true, and see nothing else to confirm that, so I chose not to post the tweet.  

I'll be watching on the MiLB.tv website, starting at 6:35pm ET.

He is ready. 

He would have struggled with a major league lineup today.  Pitches were consistently up and many times seemed to be in the middle of the plate though could be hard to tell with camera angle.  If it was down, it was offspeed.  Seemed predictable.

A friend who watched commented that Hall is very fidgety, rubbing the dirt, cleaning his spikes repeatedly, etc.  He thinks that hitters who can spoil pitches will draw a lot of walks.   Also said Hall throws a lot of pitches that aren’t competitive.  So, a lot to work on.  

Still, I think Hall may be a guy who needs to learn by struggling at the major league level.

He was having issues with his landing spot on the mound. He slipped a couple times IIRC.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either.

      It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.

      I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?

      I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship.

      We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers

      The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR.

      Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
