It's just frustrating to have folks go "Why can't Mateo bunt?", "Why can't Hall throw strikes?" "Why can't Mountcastle lay off the slider?" These things are very hard to do.  They aren't just cho

This^^^^^^^ Plus, he can afford to have 20-pitch inning in relief but that doesn't work as a starter or he'll never get into that 6th inning very often. Hall had a 69% strike rate in relief last

First inning:

2Ks & a ground ball out.  hard fast balls and a nasty slider.  No one is catching up with the fastballs.  Lot of weak swings. 

Second inning:
3-0 to a k on first batter. Blew first batter away with FB.  No mph readings tonight :(

2-0 to 2-2 then a soft liner to RF.  FB looks pretty strong.  A lot of swing and miss/weak contact. 
 

Struck out 3rd batter on a FB. 

Struck out 4th batter.  A lot of strikes.  Complete domination.   Will him come out for a third? Edit: Nope he’s done.  One of the most dominant pitching performances I’ve seen in a while.  I think he’s fixed lol.  

 

Put him in the bullpen in somewhere in front of Bautista. If he can avoid walks I would think he can help shorten games

11 fastballs, 94.4-97.8, avg 95.8. That’s about his MLB velo last season. Also got 3 whiffs on 7 swings. 

14 changeups with 3 whiffs on 5 swings as well.

Extremely encouraging outing. Surprised they had him throwing so many pitches but I guess they want him to knock off the rust. If he can maintain this velo through multiple appearances we should see him back in the majors in short order.

Top Pitch Velocity MPH

  60?circle=true DL Hall 96.8
  60?circle=true Hunter Greene 96.7

Well, I guess we can stop worrying about what happened to his velocity.  I guess the O’s knew what they were doing when they sent him down to Sarasota.

Of course we shouldn't, because they should have...

Developed a highly regarded prospected that they inherited into an asset on the ML roster by now?

Managed his recovery from injury better?

It kinda seems like they were throwing stuff on the wall to see what stuck.  Why didn't they have him lift more earlier in the season instead of sending him out there with reduced velocity?

Deloading is a thing.  Hitters use heavy bats (overloading) and light bats (deloading/underloading) to increase bat speed.  Pitchers do the same thing with weighted balls to increase arm speed.  From what I've read (which is probably nothing in the grand scheme of things), maintaining the increased speed is easy.  But rebuilding it a second/third time takes longer.  I don't think they correctly anticipated the recovery effort/time it would take plus thought some could be regained during the season.  

I do give them praise for realizing whatever the original game plan was wasn't working and that they needed to change directions.

Personally, I had written off 2023 for Hall.  And was leaning toward writing off Hall completely.  Seeing him touching 97-98 MPH is something to be excited about given his recent struggles and prior year promise.

      Cedric en fuego!!

      By Hallas · Posted

      In terms of energy?   e = 1/2 mv^2 football: 60 mph -> 26.8 m/s, 14.5 oz = .411 kg.  That's 147.5 joules. baseball: 102 mph -> 45.59 m/s, 5 oz = .142 kg.  That's 147.5 joules.   I don't think they're 100% equivalent - I think the higher raw speed on the arm of a 102 mph pitch introduces more stress on the arm than a 60 mph football throw.  But they're not that far off.

      There is no chance that over 60 mph for a QB is the equivalent of 102.  QBs do not train for velocity like pitchers do.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By 25 Nuggets · Posted

      I would prefer they ask for Jon Gray in spite of the Orioles destroying him in his last start - he wouldn't have to face the Orioles lineup again.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      He makes $43 million this year. The Mets are paying $21 million of that. I don’t think we pick up the remaining $10+ post deadline for 10-12 starts. It would just depend on what Texas would ask for to pick up the tab.

      Luis Robert

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Haynie on 105.7, has been beating the Luis Robert drum for months on the O’s pre game show. So I think that’s why people like the idea of Robert. Robert also is always hurt.  We need a bat. Probably a RH bat to DH in the playoffs versus a LH SP. That bat is Mayo. It’s just hard to get Mayo up before September when we get the extra roster spot.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      Holliday went 1 for 2 with 3 walks on Friday night. 2024: .444 OBP, .911 OPS MiLB Career: .447 OBP, .931 OPS His OBP is EXACTLY what this O's team needs, would fill a key offensive weakness at 2nd base, help grind opposing pitching, and magnify the power up and down the lineup.  It's all dependent on his ability to throw and play 2B at a passable level. If Holliday starts to hit at the ML level, the question of who bats leadoff is over for the foreseeable future and we can go back to complaining about 1 slumping hitter or backup catcher at the bottom of the lineup.

      This. We literally have no lineup holes right now, and Mayo, Norby, Jax lurk. Any trade discussion should center around the four most essential and crucial elements to O's success for the balance of the regular season and playoffs: 1. pitching 2. pitching 3. pitching 4. damn, forgot the 4th one. oh yeah, its pitching.
