Today’s game was about two things: one, whether the Orioles could sustain momentum in their incredible playoff chase, and two, the MLB debut of Dayton Lane Hall.
Sorry to say, the Orioles couldn’t, and in front of the family and friends who made it to Tampa Bay to cheer him on—including one Grayson Rodriguez, another guy we hope to see on an Orioles mound soon—Hall turned in an imperfect outing, albeit one with flashes of brilliance.
I can report that the 6’2 left-hander with the sorta-mullet and right forearm sleeve comes exactly as advertised: Plenty of heat.
