Why is it odd?  Elias has said all year that he wants to get Hall up here.  Hall only has 20-25 innings left in him this year.  
 

The only odd thing is that he isn’t already up here.  
 

People just get too obsessed over a few good or bad outings.

Nothing has happened in his last couple outings to suggest that he’s more ready for the majors than he was three weeks ago.  And from the standpoint of the O’s staff, nothing has happened to suggest they need Hall more than they would have needed him three weeks ago.  That’s all I’m saying.   To be clear, I’m happy about the promotion.

The DL Hall Fiasco is getting out of hand. This is ridiculous.    Some of you are acting like this is the end of the world and we just ruined our playoff chances yesterday. It’s absurd.

I totally disagree. I think it’s very obvious that Elias reads the board and that many of his moves have been in direct response to posters. Most of his good moves, for example, have been based direct

Swing Decisions - Yandy on the year inside the Top 10 that Adley is knocking on the door of.

https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=250&type=5&season=2022&month=0&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-01-01&enddate=2022-12-31

I don't care if Yandy gets a hit....the first thing I'm hoping to see today will be if DL Hall with all the adrenaline can manage to not walk one of the game's sharpest eyes, and stay away from the 25+ pitch type of first inning that will guarantee a very short night.

Despite the Ferrigno physique, Yandy's ISO is Bottom 20%.    He's a slow singles hitter up there looking for the walk, don't let him have it.

What happened is they traded Lopez and the bullpen seems slightly at risk of taking a step back.

They need the arm.

I’d love to understand how the Orioles decide when to promote guys.   This timing seems quite odd, and there have been other moves in the minors that seemed really oddly timed as well.  

But far be it from me to question it.   I can’t fault the overall results of whatever the heck they’re doing.   And, bad or good, I’m just jazzed to watch Hall pitch in a major league game and see firsthand what the fuss about his stuff is all about.  
 

And dang it, I am blacked out in Central FL!  I have to find a local watering hole to watch 😬.

Vespi optioned to make room for Hall.

Tough break.  I think he's been better than Baker and he's certainly done more than Louis Head.   

 

P.S.  Do we risk losing either of those guys if we option them?

Get in your golf cart and drive down to St.Pete, dammit!   I’m sure the Trop isn’t sold out for this historic event.

Hall will replace Vespi as the third lefty in the pen.  And Nick will probably be back up by September 1.

Did Watkins lose his spot in the rotation or is this definitely only a one-time start for Hall and then to the bullpen?

Per Roch's article this morning it sounds like this is his only start and will go to the bullpen to control his innings.

 

Hall is starting today, but no one is expected to leave the rotation to create space for him. I’m hearing that he’s likely to make a spot start against the Rays and then serve in a multi-inning relief role through the remainder of the season.

This is how Hall can help the Orioles down the stretch, and it also enables them to control his innings. Don’t be surprised to see it happen.

The Orioles have a specific count in mind for Hall and can’t waste any of them in Triple-A if they think he’s ready for the majors. They don’t want to shut him down early. This is how they can manipulate it.

Hall will go back to starting in spring training. This is temporary.

      I think yesterday was the nail in the coffin for him being on the playoff roster, assuming we make it.

      Will the Orioles make the playoffs?

      By NashLumber · Posted

      I feel that way, too. I keep thinking about 2005.  2005: 10 games over .500 on June 20th. 1st place, two games up.  Shortly after they went on a 2-16 skid, and their last game at .500 was at the the start of that awful home 4 game series in late July when the White Sox swept them, and Raffy was exposed as taking PEDs. They fell under .500 that series and kept on sinking.  2024: 24 games over .500 on June 20th. 2nd place, a half game back.  Then immediately lose five straight. Due to their great start, they can't finish 14 under .500, but the dive feels eerily similar with all of the injuries, dormant bats, and all happening at the same time of year.  The floor coming out from underneath them feels a lot like it. That team was cooked by late July and by the first week of August, Mazzilli got the axe. That won't happen with Hyde this time, as they had a fine start this year, but this can't happen two years in a row under him.

      I know …. Gotcha. Trade away Stowers & Norby for Garbage and pick up Rivera & Jiminez. And be surprised when you offense stinks.

      It’s because the strategies that they are taught and employ work much better in the minors with pitchers with worse stuff and command than in the majors.  This, in turn, inflates their minor league stats.  The good news is that thus far after an adjustment period those players do seem to adjust and do well.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By SilverRocket · Posted

      This was the lineup today: The problem is injuries. Hyde didn't have to run out this sort of lineup in May or June. You can nitpick about whether these were the right nine to start, but these are the players on the roster right now and it's because guys who were here in the winning months are not available.

      I think you agree Roy. The injuries are one thing, but combining them with the continual influx of rookies/ near-rookies - (as promising as they may be) creates instability.  Holliday, Cowser, Mayo, Norby, Kjerstad, Povich, even Stowers.  The past two years: Rutschman and Henderson. One rookie, a solid unremarkable, yet reliable core that had been playing together for several years. Maybe Elias needs to answer for this. I’m not buying the injury excuse for position players. The pitching - amazing job for the injury plague (Kimbrel not included). Have to wonder if these injuries have something to do with the training staff don’t you?
