Moose Milligan

Very well said.

I stand corrected. Came in and got two outs, relatively easily.

Here comes Scott to throw gas on the fire.

Just hoping he can get through this inning relatively unscathed.

Fair point.

Where the deuce did you guys go?

That sucks, Palmer is right. That is a grounder to SS against the shift. Should have been an out. But whatever, here we are.

Okay, I know Mullins has a weak arm but I think I could have peed farther than he threw that ball.

Yep, this looks like the inning where it all falls apart for Harvey. It was inevitable. With Harvey and Lopez, you've got two guys who can probably give you 4 innings, each. It's a shame the bullpen is overtaxed already because you might be able to win some games with this approach. But right now the starters need to be able to go 6+.

Yep, we're in agreement. I don't think he has the stuff, either. But I think he deserves to prove us correct at some point.

Damn, there goes the no-no.

I don't really care about Harvey's development, either. There's not much that he can do to right the ship, IMO...any stretch of good outings from him will be met with skepticism, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Lowther might not be ready to pitch at this level but I don't believe he's got too much to prove in the minors, either...at least headed into this season. He seems to have been struggling in AAA lately....I'm not sure if his brief exposure to the majors scared him.

Sink or swim time, hombre. Harvey can't handle the starting role at the MLB level either...so, stalemate.

There's really not, but I'd rather see a guy like Lowther in the rotation. I don't think he's a great option but at least there's some more upside there.

He's looked sharp at times. Odds are he'll implode.

Should have been dumped or sent to the pen awhile ago.

Can't wait to see how bad Bucknor is for Harvey.

IMO, if the fastball is in that range the secondaries have to be really good to absolutely outstanding. I believe the things that matter the most are command (being able to spot the ball where you want it, when you want it), movement and then finally velocity. That said, it seems like velocity reigns supreme today, everyone wants power arms. But we've seen it with Tanner Scott, it doesn't really matter what the velocity is if you can't locate it. However, I think teams would rather work with guys that have high velocity instead of a soft tosser if everything else is equal. Whatever, I'm rambling. I'd love to have guys that have to strain to hit 90 mph if they can pinpoint it, change speeds, have great movement and shape to their secondaries. But the guys that the Orioles are bringing up don't seem to have it.

Haven't seen him, but lolllllllzzzz at people thinking an 88 mph fastball is going to play up in the MLB. Maybe it can for certain guys but I'm not betting on them.

Bedtime. Night ya'll.

He did. It was in the dirt.

Another hit, another RBI. Keep it going!

Mullins with the sprint for the single! Homer, double, single.

Franco with the bases loaded double! This Astros pitcher looks like a douche, too.
