I agree but I think Elias cares.

Situation isn’t forcing Elias’s hand.

Some might argue Stowers.

How? The only benefit of holding him down now (or for the last several weeks) is if he’s down until late April. I want him up. But he’s not down for service time reasons.

Maybe they will drag him until late April. We have Mullins, Santander, Hays, McKenna, Vavra, and Phillips if they want. I’m not saying they should but it is possible.

There could be other reasons beside Someone hurt or not.  You have bereavement leave and paternity leave.  Has anyone checked with players wife or girlfriends.  Lol

Take this for however little you think it is worth.   On the techsideline.com subscribers (pay) message board, a site that is basically the OriolesHangout of Virginia Tech sports, a guy made a post called "Hey Orioles Fans..." with the following text:

Sat next to D.L. Hall on plane from Rochester to ATL. He's headed to Tampa to start for O's tomorrow night against Tampa.

Amazing.

I am wondering if they may run out a 6 man rotation for the rest of the season.

If the bullpen was an issue why trade away the closer?

I'm fine with your reason, but it doesn't mesh with the narrative that some posters have been pushing.

 

Because you have Hall to replace him.

And Lyles Sunday as I correctly predicted earlier.

I wonder if we do go with a 6 man rotation for now. Or someone gets moved to BP to help take some of the load off.

So who gets sent down or DFAed?

Might be a 3-4 inning stint. Keep him comfortable in his starting routine. Watkins pitch after him. Then 5 days later Watkins starts and DL gets the next day. 

Hoping they let Adley, whom he's comfortable with, catch a day after night game. He'll get 48 hours rest with Chirinos catching Sunday.

Can't wait to watch on Gameday lol

I wonder how many innings they’re hoping for from Hall tomorrow and what the plan is after that.  

I’m really excited to get a live look at this guy against major league hitters.  Absolute appointment viewing!

My preference is Nevin or does it have to be a pitcher because of MLB rules on number of pitchers that can be on the 26 man roster.

Lou Head.  I said around the 7th that whoever pitched the 9th would be the one who got sent down.

You couldn't tell in the message board, but I said it in my Vito Corleone voice when he told Michael that whoever came up to him at the funeral with a deal from the Barzini's was the traitor.

Lou Head = Abe Vigoda
