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.

Apparently plan is for all the Norfolk pitchers to go short stints coming off the break..but DL Hall time?

I call BS. That makes no sense if they just had a break and only go 1 inning. It would be stupid if its not either an injury or he is called up

Someone on Twitter is saying that Hall is on his way to Baltimore? He even posted the flight information. I am not saying that this is true but I figured I’d share what I’ve seen. 

Ooooh, “someone on Twitter!”

I think Hall is coming up too...but I will say that the other pitchers tonight have gone short stints, and the two behind Hall are also stretched out normally

What really is the logic of having Hall pitch 1 inning and then go to Baltimore?   I’m not saying that’s not happening, I’m genuinely curious.  

I’m with you on this. I feel like this is a decision that they would have made during the break. It’s not like an arm went down in tonight’s game and they made the call. Kinda weird how it’s playing out. I’m hoping he’s coming to pitch against the Rays.

He hadn't pitched since Sunday, maybe didn't want it to be to long a break between appearances (honestly no idea)

I was at the game also. I saw Baumann going to warm up, but I was hoping it was because the inning was getting a little long and they didn't want him to throw too many pitches in one inning if a couple more guys got on base. I thought they might give him an extra day of rest and would pitch Saturday. He got a 3-0 lead in the first. I was hoping he'd throw a strong six innings. My wife said he was rubbing his elbow a lot in warmups and showing a coach, so I was thinking the worst when he came out.

Baumann was disappointing. I thought he'd be one of our starters a couple of years ago. Knight was just awful. Vespi was great, as usual.

Baumann has been great when he starts and terrible out of relief.  Maybe he is an opener in the future in Baltimore like Voth is going.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
