Not in a pennant race! I’m not blaming him! I blame Elias for a bad move. 

Do you believe Elias' focus is this year or development for the next 10 years? He's made public statements that could offer a clue.

Yep, no pitcher ever developed in the majors.

Nary a one.

 

Remember, all good pitchers absolutely dominated each level of the minors before promotion to the next, like Sandy Koufax and Jim Palmer. That's why there's always a shortage of major league pitchers, they're all still in the Sally League trying to throw to a 1.00 ERA with no homers or walks and 19 K/9.

It’s not a bad move, it's a move. And plenty here thought he wouldn’t make it. Nothing wrong with finding out what you have. And pretty sure his stuff plays. He’ll figure it out and it would be nice to see him paired with AR in his next start.

Yeah. It feels like they were hoping he'd come up and dominate, but now they're going with plan b

Or they felt like it was important for Hall to see for himself what he needed to improve on to be successful at the MLB level.

Today he pitched like the 5 ERA guy that he’s been at AA and AAA. No reason to expect anything different. 
 

It’s fine if you don’t care about winning this season. Elias obviously has said it takes a back seat to the plan. Today he proved it.

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.

We are in a playoff race.  This is not the time to learn.

Surprised they started him. He’s had some questionable outings all year long and only showed flashes of brilliance here and there.  Seems starting him off in pen with 2 outs might have been a better debut.  Stupid black out and stupider recording effort, so can’t see the game but I gotta tell you that was pretty predictable.  I guessed at 1 run praying and hoping it’d be the Hall that narrowly escapes a catastrophe, but gets out, kinda day.  The kid is gonna be a absolute beast, but it’s gonna take some time.

    • I get that everybody wants the best of both worlds. But 2 questions: 1) What would be the plan for the pitching next year if we just went the rental/shortest term route? 2) Is Quantrill a guy that you trust making postseason starts? If so, what gives you confidence in him?
    • 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?
    • 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.
