Roch (MASN): DL Hall is joining Orioles tonight

[Gurgi]

Very surprised by this move.  Excited and a little confused.  Elias has tossed us a gift.

Hope he's up for good and not a shuttle situation. Prove you belong.

Makes sense out of the bullpen or as a piggyback with Voth.   Can pull him quickly if he's "out of control".

[Gurgi]

Now he can show off his high k numbers here in the majors.  Can he keep the walks under control?  Time will tell.

BOOOOOM! Let's go! Can't wait to see him against ML hitters.

At least he's got the hard part down. If the high K numbers convert to the majors I think we'll see the walks eventually go down too. Apparently the best way to limit walks isn't necessarily honing command (though that's part of it...), but getting hitters to chase the stuff outside the zone.

I'm mildly surprised as well. I wonder if Stowers is next. Slowly but surely, the switch is being flipped.

But how does this affect his service time?

5 from Voth.

3 from Hall

1 from Bautista.  That's the recipe for a win.  Hall goes four if it's not a save situation.   That's the other recipe.

I'm sure Elias is rooting for him to get bombed so he can send him back down.   I'm sure it's just a trick.

[Gentile4]

Does it make more sense to start Hall even if he only goes three before turning it over to the bullpen? Keep him on his routine. I'm not really concerned with any negative impact on Voth.

Lol I love how people keep worrying about service time. Service time is only affected if any player is kept down until late April. It would be shocking if that happened for any of Hall/Henderson/Stowers/GrayRod. I could see Westburg staying down if there's not room in the IF to start the year.

The next benefit to keeping players down is to preserve their rookie status in hopes of ROY honors in 2023 to net a pick in 2024. We're about 2-2.5 weeks from that.

I wouldn’t say 105.7 confirmed anything, all they did was read this exact tweet from Roch. 

Jason LaCanfora wants listeners to think he has inside sources. 

Ok so Hall is going to start Saturday interesting.
