I think Hall is going to get the next two days off, the off day on Monday and then join the team on Tuesday for a big series with Toronto. He’s clearly ready. Potentially our second best RP right now.  15 K’s and only 2 BB in his 6.2 IP as a RP in AAA and has had his velo in every appearance. No sense in him pitching any more in AAA.

Send down Vespi, Baumann, whoever. Just make sure Hall’s next appearance is for the big club.

Today would be a good day to promote Hall and send Baumann away to Bolivian

27 pitch 9th inning for Hall tonight, 14 strikes, 2 BB, 3 K’s, no hits or runs.  Classic Hall.

Not exactly the way we want it.

Too many guys in front of him. Don’t need that garbage in the pen.  Give Wells and Means a chance.

I just don't get it. He's a sensational athlete by all accounts. He's got + stuff. He just can't hit the target consistently. What gives? He is the most baffling pitcher in the last 5 + years for me. Frustrating.

It's a difficult thing to do.  Just because other folks can do it that doesn't make it less difficult.

I actually don't think he's the most baffling pitcher on his own team.  That honor would go to Cade Povich.

That’s happens whether Hall is up or not.

Coulombe will be back soonish, too. May not even need Hall this year, especially if Webb keeps it up. Perez has been solid for awhile now too.

Yeah - Perez has looked much better, Cano seems to have righted the ship a bit, and Webb has been yet another ridiculous acquisition thus far.

The middle relief almost overnight went from looking like a major liability to looking like a strength again.  Did Elias make a deal with the devil or something?

Thank you for clarifying that issue. Somehow I missed that piece of wisdom. Will need to write it down somewhere...

You could make maple syrup out of all the dripping sarcasm in this thread.

There is no room for Hall if they both are up plus Danny.
