Roch (MASN): DL Hall is joining Orioles tonight

A little more from Roch in the lineup article just now.

 

Spenser Watkins is available in the bullpen and is expected to start Thursday’s makeup game against the Cubs at Camden Yards.

The Orioles want to transition Hall into a relief role after today’s outing, which could begin with Norfolk. Hall is expected to be in the Orioles’ bullpen in September after rosters expand. To be decided is how they get him to that point.

It’s going to be a process however it’s done, with shortened stints and less rest between appearances.

So they're gonna send him back down to Norfolk after today? That makes no sense.

You ain't playing hard if you ain't streaming pitchers daily to maximize the roster.

From a ruthlessly competing these 48 hours as the Orioles-Rays season series is settled angle, I actually kind of love the concept of cycling him out after 50-75 hot pitches.    

Paging @SteveA for who else on the 40-man roster could be useful tomorrow.

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.  

Haha yeah just a short 2 hour hop, skip and jump.  We’re getting ready for a trip to Greece and sadly won’t be at the Trop.  I’m fired up are you?  As if I had to ask …… 😛

A few Savant fastball benchmarks, assuming we are about to see 40-ish fastballs with that one time only layer of adrenaline atop talent.

2022 Hader, 449 sinkers, 97.2 average MPH, spin 2001

2022 McClanahan, 657 4-seams, 96.7 average MPH, spin 2223

2022 Akin, 477 4-seams, 93.3 average MPH, spin 2249

2022 Bautista, 473 4-seams, 98.9 average MPH, spin 2333

2022 DL Hall, xx 4-seams, xx.x average MPH, spin 2xxx

All MLB 4-Seam velocity leaders as of today - Duran 100.6, Munoz 100.1, Clase 99.9, Helsley 99.3, Graterol 99.3, Diaz 99.0, Bautista 98.9

Some Lefty 4-seams - G. Soto 98.6, Aroldis 97.6, Alvarado 97.4, Tanner Scott 96.9

Adley should be catching him. I know it’s day after night, but it’s 4:00. Let Chirinos catch tomorrow. 

Agreed. Penny wise pound foolish by Hyde. This is DL's first and only start of the season; put him in  the best position to succeed. Adley can more than handle it.

This is how he is in the minors. Poor command.  Everything hard is elevated.  He isn’t getting any swings and misses though.  Moreover, the velocity isn’t what we have seen in minors. Hopefully he settles down but this is what I have been saying would be his issue.

Just proved me wrong in 2nd.  Hope he continue to

    • You've probably heard things like "we need to get into their bullpen". In the gamesmanship of baseball, you only get to face the worst pitchers once the game is out of hand. As long as the game is close, you are likely to face better pitchers.
    • Gunnar Westburg Grayson Mayo Holliday (wait until the offseason and there may be a "buy low" extension opportunity compared to this recent spring training/this past offseason, although that's unlikely with Boras) Burnes Cowser Adley  
    • Claims he couldn’t care less then drops the longest post in the thread on what he claims he couldn’t care less about 🤣🤣🤣
    • It will be a bitter pill to swallow if we end up a couple games worse than NYY and this tabulator imagines they got 50 net runs of help. Sig Mejdal would probably be only to happy to do some pro bono case preparation on behalf of Rob Manfred and David Rubenstein. I do kind of think if/when robo-umps come, Orioles bats may enjoy a short-term preparedness advantage.
    • Mayo and Basallo are the only non-Boras, non-pitchers who will debut at a young enough age that you’d be buying out free agent years before age 30. As much as I’d like to extend Gunnar, Holliday etc., I think those are the most likely candidates. But they have such big question marks about the defensive value they will provide that it might be pretty hard finding the right number. You don’t want to be paying them as a 3B/C when they end up a 1B/DH. And I also don’t expect to Orioles to do an extension before they get some MLB exposure under their belts. Just this year, the Keith and Rafaela extensions are looking really rough and showing the risks to that approach, and I’m going to assume the Orioles will remain very risk averse to guaranteed money until proven otherwise. 
    • After last night's brutal hose job from Laz Diaz, the Orioles are now last in the league in TotFav.  We've lost almost 8 net runs to umpire mistakes this season.  
    • There are quite a few occasions in MLB history of teams taking the right path and the wrong path. Early contracts have risk but by far greatest reward. Atlanta Braves have locked up most of there stars. Acuna, Olsen, Albies, Riley, Strider, Murphy, Harris. Its cost them money up front but will be massive savings down the road. Acuna on the open market would net 50 million per year for over 14 years. They are paying him 12.5 million per season. There are teams like the Nationals who let Harper, Soto, Turner all walk because of ownership and not early intervention. People were saying it was stupid for Juan Soto to turn down Nats contract. He will get more this offseason for sure. Also the Nats were in that situation because they had talks 1.5 years left on the contract.    Contract order for me would go Gunnar-by far number 1, already comparable deal with Witt Jr. Has to get done, Has to be lifelong Oriole Westburg- Not something crazy but buying out arbitration years something like 7-8 years 80-100 million Bradish-something that pays off arbitration and pays 2-3 years free agency. Burnes- Frontloaded contract where first 4 years are majority of pay. Most of our payroll increase comes in 4 years when Adley hits free agency.    I would continue to monitor Holiday.   Adley is a wait and see. He will be a 30 year old catcher. Have to see how Basallo progresses in next year.
