Well when you pitch to an ERA under 3 in the MLB you can start thinking you are the man.

Sure but his past few starts have not been good.

[Gurgi]

Honestly from his first start I cant see Hall helping us down the stretch.  He does not have accuracy.  Cant see it just yet.  He needs to better command.

10 runs yesterday. Lots of game left, fubes.

I don't think they had a guy like McClanahan out there yesterday though.

Good news is that he hasn't been really sharp.  Maybe if we can get into their bullpen next inning we've got a shot.

He is going to be a pen guy.

This loss is on management. It is not on DL Hall. The guy can only give his best effort. All you can ask from a ballplayer is to give it your all. If you just don't have the skill then that is on management to not run your out there. Should be in the minors. 

Get off the mound!

[tntoriole]

5 ERs, 3 BBs 6 Ks in 3.2 innings.. 

Not interested in seeing him start again this season unless and until we are out of it.

He finally is!

After today I would be fine if Hall goes back down until September. I now understand why Hyde would not commit to his role after today

They didn’t do him any favors by bringing him up in this situation with a high era in triple A. I’m betting he’s sent down after this start. It seems like winning today didn’t matter to Elias. At very least it gives a reality check to the baby fans who keep complaining about guys not being called up.

If I'm Hyde I'm so pissed off right now. I doubt that Hyde made the decision to run him out there. Give the man MLB players. We are in the playoff hunt.

It was a real unimpressive showing.  Except for the second inning and the three straight strikeouts.  He was rather shockingly wild.  Ball going all over the place.  Big leaguers will figure you out and not swing at your garbage.

Hyde is incessantly lauding Odor.

He hasn't earned the right to demand MLB caliber players.

Mountcastle is an easy out way too often.

It did surprize me than he had to make his ML debut on the road, in the Trop, rather than at home.  Very curious to rush his start in a low possible win situation.  Very unusual.

[Yossarian]

Mountcastle has mastered the art of grounding softly to the left side.
