I think originally they hope he could get to an affiliate in July. I heard something about him throwing off flat ground somewhere.

If we can get Bundy AND Harvey on track to contribute to the starting rotation next year, that would be huge. Gausman, Bundy and Harvey all healthy and in the starting rotation would be a dream come true - The real Cavalry?

Yeah, we could use a really good fan forum for the Orioles. Maybe one where you could even post comments about how hopeless the team is while the game is being played. And if an Oriole hits a homer so

I was told he hadn't even pitched since the end of March so that's why he was limited to just 2 IP and 34 pitches. I get them wanting to bring him along slowly and I get they need to monitor his innin

Harvey isn't close to BAL. No chance he'll be here next year. He can't even get on a mound.

I'd imagine Harvey has to still be a few seasons away. He hasn't even pitched in AA yet. We could possibly see one of the pitchers drafted yesterday make the team before Harvey.

Harvey was throwing off flat ground a week or so ago. He'll probably be lucky to pitch in a game that matters by July. Right now, let's just see him log a complete season in the minors before we start talking his role with the Orioles. As fragile as he's been, I might consider putting him in the bullpen for a season as a three inning reliever and see how he holds up.

After Dylan Bundy's performance last night, I got to thinking about our other oft-injured top pitching prospect. How's Hunter Harvey doing? Last I saw he had surgery to repair a tear in his groin muscle - does anyone have any info how his recovery is coming along? Harvey seems like the forgotten man in the organization.

Steve M said just t the other day he started throwing off flat ground. No exact timetable yet.

Never met Steve, but he is a MUST FOLLOW for minor league reporting. Love his coverage. Seems like a class act.

To be clear, I wouldn't look at Harvey contributing in early 2017, but maybe later in the year - possibly September. But those of you who are suggesting caution and patience are right. Bundy got me all excited last night, woke up feeling very optimistic.

That would be good if he could.

With all the back and forth here about the state of the minors I think much of the evaluation will come down to the success's or lack of the same of Dylan Bundy and Hunter Harvey. If they get close to their potentials along with Kevin Gausman the Orioles will have a very strong rotation. Add Chris Tillman in there the starting rotation will be in a position of strength. I know we worry about signing Manny but Tillman is someone I would lock up at the end of this year. He seems very signable to me. If he finishes this year strong and has another good one he will be a very valuable asset.

Oh now you've done it- the dreaded c word when it comes to pitching prospects. Move over Forney, Klingenbeck, Sackinsky, Eshelman and Ponson (?), the new guys are coming. :D

Seems like we've had a cavalcade of Cavalries (with plenty of Calvaries and corrections tossed in). Could we just call our minor league pitching prospects minor league pitching prospects?

As for Harvey, at one point I thought he was a real possibility to audition as a starter by the middle of next year. That's not happening. Maybe he gets here before the end of 2017, but he sure can't be part of any plan for next year. At this point, it looks like the back end in 2017 will remain something like "Ubaldo and Wright, we'll need to score 6 tonight."

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By OsFanSinceThe80s · Posted

      The Orioles starters absolutely have to do better against the Royals. You can't ask this bullpen to pitch most of the game and expect to win. Right now I probably trust Coulombe the most and Soto (which I never would have guessed a couple weeks back). Perez has been really shaky recently to the point I'm wondering is he nursing a tired arm or minor injuey. Cano hasn't been good as well and O's really need him to get back into a groove. And Akin is usually trustworthy, but only starting the inning clean.

      I'll be working at Gate F.  If you're getting drunk at Pickles before the game and then walk through the closest gate, you'll walk right past me.

      Playoff Bullpen Usage

      By e16bball · Posted

      For me, bullpen strategy in a short series is developing a core principle or two and working backwards from that. That’s usually going to involve how we want to pitch to their best guys. In this case, there’s really no way to game Witt. He doesn’t have any discernible platoon splits, and in fact he destroyed RHPs this year. He doesn’t even have any particular pitches he struggles against. If you have to pitch to him, power stuff seems to be the way to go — if he has any weakness, it seems like maybe it’s LHPs who can attack him with high velocity and some sort of off speed weapon (Skubal, Framber, Kikuchi, EdRod, Rodon, Sale, Gore). So maybe you’re looking at Soto and Perez there, although you really just shouldn’t be pitching to him at all if you can avoid it. Beyond him, the other “hero” is Salvador Perez. And that’s from where I’d be building out my strategy. He probably should not see a LHP all series. There’s a fairly meaningful career platoon split there (109 wRC+ to 101), and it’s been more pronounced this year (130 to 110). I would be looking to force feed him ABs against Cano (1/4 with a single), Webb (0/2 with two Ks), and Dominguez. He’s always had trouble with offspeed stuff, which means Webb might be the preferred option. They’ve faced a ton of LH starters in the last week or so, but it seems like their preferred lineup against RHPs stacks LH hitters like Melendez and Gurriel behind Perez. Melendez is awful against LHPs, so ideally Perez might be the last hitter that the starters see. They pinch hit very liberally in platoon fashion in the bottom half of the lineup, so if you brought in someone like Akin behind the starter, they might very well hit for him. Forcing them to do that erases a lot of the platoon stacking in the late innings, so you could subsequently bring in a RHP to pitch to Perez without the same concern that they’d be exposed after him.    In sum, I think the ideal attack plan is for Burnes/Eflin/Kremer to see Perez three times, then bring in Akin or Cionel to pitch to the bottom of what will likely be a lefty-heavy lineup. They’ll potentially PH there, but that’s okay because none of those guys are that good. You then go to one of the RHPs for the top of the lineup, which it seems will consist of Pham, Witt (pitch around), and Perez. Then back to Coulombe or Soto for the bottom of the lineup again.
