Absurd, the holes they’re finding.

It probably is a bit harder to get proper positioning when the pitcher has trouble command the ball.

[Aristotelian]

I can't recall a changeup with so little break. So far it has been effective but I can imagine that pitch getting hit a long way.

Hard to tell with Elias but I didn't think the plan was for more than four unless everything went perfect in which case he would have gone five.

But I feel like this will just put even more strain on the bullpen.

This the BABIP has to be high, and it's not like they're hitting it hard

Tell you what. If Hall can't control walks and get pitches below the belt, he won't be pitching much for the O's the rest of the way.

I don't think he kept the tag on while the leg was off.  The tag was on, the leg and tag both came off, and then the tag and foot were both back on at the same time. 

Well, just what I saw, anyway. 

[Yossarian]

Safe. When he came off the base, Odor wasn't holding the tag. 

[Dibbs31]

How is that overturned?

[Mendoza Line]

Halls stuff seems closer-ish to me more than starter. Only really flashing fastball/change up. I think he'd do better just airing it out in one inning.

That said, I'd like to see some more starts before setting that opinion stone.

Get off the mound!

That TB pitcher is whining to himself I guess.  He had quite a conversation a few minutes ago.  Even the Yankees, we  do not have to take that from.   He needs to grow up.   He is not unhittable at all, he just thinks he is.

I think that too. Thought I am surprised they felt there was enough video evidence to overturn it.

Hall is just not going to make it through much more.  Just a matter of when Hyde makes the decision.

You seem a little young.  Try taking some deep breaths.
