Amazing.

A dominant win against an inferior opponent.  One down, two to go.

Fuji is so much better when he starts an inning. Lesser competition also helps. 
 

anyway, he looked great last night.

Fuji: 831 OPS against when margin is within 4 runs, 519 against when over 4. It’s mostly mental IMO, maybe he can still get comfortable.

Yup. Def mental. Also better control out of the windup vs stretch.

Fuji actually looked smooth last night.  When he has trouble he is flying open and totally loses his release point.  He needs to think less and try easier as Flanny used to say.

Fuji has a lot of talent, hopefully he can harness it, because the Orioles need him to help take some of Felix's role.

Hall looked good last night.  I am not sure how many times they can run him out there a week, but he can certainly help.

I enjoyed seeing Adley catch G-Rod and then Hall.  That was cool

Some of Hall's pitches aren't even close to the plate so his command is probably always going to be an issue but his stuff is definitely electric and he can overpower hitters. The main thing with him is staying healthy.

I think Hall can limit his repertoire and gain better control.  He seems to want to still use all his pitches.  I think he will realize, that he can use his power stuff when he is only pitching one to two innings.
