I just hope we let him in the rotation.  Don’t send him back down.  Let him learn on the Major League roster.  While we know what he is right now, will he truly be worse than some of our current starters?  I would let him learn every 5th day with the Orioles.

 

He should learn to be a good AAA pitcher before he learns to be a good MLB pitcher.

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

I haven’t watched him at all this year, but what didn’t display today that impressed me last year was a really nice slider. Change up was impressive today, but I didn’t see the pitcher I know. It wasn’t just about the results. Taken with his recent struggles in Norfolk I wonder if there’s more going on with him.

I wasnt overly impressed either.

He was about as good as he’s been pitching at AAA. He was told a few starts ago that he needed to dial it in. He hasn’t done that! Stupid call up, they didn’t put him in a good position to be successful. He threw too many first pitch balls. The defense didn’t do him any favors. Elias didn’t care about winning today.

Well, I'm not ready to make proclamations about his chances moving forward based off what we've seen today.  He definitely needs some work but you can see how if he refines a few things he can be a good pitcher.  

This falls in line with what we talked about this morning but I don't think there's much different that coaches saw today from what MiLB coaches have seen the last 2 years. I'm sure they've told him what he needs to work on and how to get there. 

Was he always receptive and willing to make changes? Doesn't seem like 100%. Among other things, he ignores baserunners. And I'm quite sure coaches have talked to him about that since he was about age 15. Maybe today causes him to become more  determined to make changes. 

One thing I'm convinced of though is if he stays up and Holt gets significant changes implemented in a few weeks, he may actually BE a wizard. 

I think 2 things are very clear. DL is very talented. And DL needs a LOT of work. Whether he's ready to do that is my question.

I'm not ready to make the assumption that DL Hall isn't receptive and willing to make changes.

Elias called him up just to shut up OH posters clamoring for Hall. 😀
 

Disappointing but pretty predictable debut. And it was a bit of an odd promotion. Hopefully they had good reasons and intentions. Not clear yet. At the very least maybe Hall will be less nervous next time and maybe he knows a little more about what he needs to do to be successful.

      O's Getting Hosed, All Star Reserves

      Because it's an attempt to curb one team's fanbase from stuffing the ballot.

      1 vs 2 vote is stupid after #1 already got the most votes.  Why not 2 cs 3 for reserve?

      2024 MLB Draft Chat

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Picking at 22 and 32 we have a chance to nab some guys with resumes. Benge, Brecht, Honeycutt, Amick, White, Culpepper, and one of the NCAA C if we want. Hopefully we can get two of those guys when we pick. Developing pitching and keeping it healthy is hard. With our recent history with bats it might be good to keep growing them. Benge and White/Amick would be ideal. They could be real close to Bowie this time next year.

      Hopefully, Santander is Tuck’s replacement. He is worthy, and his hard work should be rewarded if there is room.  Kimbrel would have been nice, but Clay Holmes, when rested and healthy, has much better stuff. I know the numbers are poor for him at the moment, but he is nasty. Kimbrel is a gutty vet who used to be incredibly tough. His selection this year would have been about his career and legacy. That is not a popular take on this board, so be it. Westburg and Mountcastle can use the time off. Both are supposed to be fairly banged up at the moment. O’Hearn is just another guy I would have loved to see make it. A grinder, who exemplifies the blue collar fan base of Baltimore. A great story, but mostly a platoon guy.

      Outside of any of the "snubs" losing out of any potential bonuses, I don't care. I'd almost rather see them getting a solid break mid season anyways.

      I think there is a better term than "angry" to describe some of the O's. Anger seldom results in anything positive. Now, playing with attitude is another thing. GH is certainly the "King" of attitude on this team, no one is going to beat him. I believe there are several position players that show attitude in different ways. Pitchers?? SP throw 90 or so pitches. They can't afford to display emotions or they would be worn out much earlier. They also can't afford to have the "deer in the headlights" look. Of the O's starters, I believe CP is in that world at present. It's mainly an experience and growth thing.  GR, IMO, has approved significantly in that department over the last year.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By chipster22 · Posted

      On close examination of Kjerstad today (July 7), I hope he is not part of any trade package. This kid is a bull, with power potential that is off the charts.  He runs surprisingly well and that throw to the plate from left was very impressive, if a bit high. I can see him planted in left field for a long time, perhaps in a platoon with Hays the rest of the year, but eventually full time if he proves able to hit southpaws.
