If Dan Duquette and Buck Showalter were running the Orioles now they would bring up DL Hall for the bullpen stretch run.  Anyone remember how they brought up Dylan Bundy in 2012?  

Not saying we should do this but Dan and Buck were not scared of bringing up the kids.  Heck they brought Machado up at 19 in 2012 to settle third base which was a huge problem with Mark Reynolds having the yips and not being able to throw the ball across the diamond to first.  

It is proof that Elias is not all in this season.  Probably the wisest play is to stick to his plan with the rookies but still it is sad because we could be way more dangerous with 

DL Hall in the bullpen,  Stowers and Henderson coming up.  I honestly think Duquette would of already brought them all up.

Before I read any of this text, I saw four paragraphs, and got really excited I'd see a "tio." Alas.
