[Tony-OH]

Harvey pitching in a real game will be like seeing a Leprechaun diving a unicorn into the ocean and finding Atlantis.

Some would have said that about Bundy, and so far, its working for Dyan and the Orioles.

Reports are that Billy Rowell will be the hitter he's facing, with Matt Hobgood catching and Keith Reed shagging fly balls.

Good one. What next, a unicorn running in the 7th race at Laurel?

What??.

I'm still not 100% convinced it's not some sort of a glitch in the box score. Lex Rutledge apparently pitched in the GCL today as well.

That's the best news I've read since - well since I read that we swept and are 14 games over .500 for the first time this year.

Wow, this wasn't a hoax!!!!

He's back on the field!

This is amazingly good news for the O's. With how well he's done in the MiL and in spring trainings against ML pitching, I wouldn't be surprised to see him in an O's uniform this year. Certainly for Sept call-ups. Heck, he and Bundy could hold down a rotation spot doing 5 innings each every other turn. That would be cool, huh?

There is very little chance of that happening IMO. I'd be happy if he could throw 40-50 innings in the second half at Frederick or Bowie.

Orioles 2013 first-round pick, right-hander Hunter Harvey, made a successful return to the mound on Saturday in the Gulf Coast League. Over two scoreless innings he fanned five batters. It was his first minor league game since July 25, 2014.

"I saw Hunter pitch and it was really good," Graham said after seeing that outing in person. "He is healthy and threw free and easy. Ball came out of his hand well and he threw strikes with good velocity."

Harvey missed time with a strained right flexor mass and fractured fibula. And then in May he had another health issue and underwent sports hernia surgery.

But the organization’s No. 2 ranked prospect according to Baseball America is finally back. He will throw two to three innings on Wednesday in the GCL and after that could be ready to enter a team’s five-man rotation. A move to short season Single-A Aberdeen is possible. If all goes well he could certainly move to Frederick, where he had been expected to start this year.
