Updates on Hunter Harvey

On the HR, he started with an inside breaking ball on the first pitch.  Once I saw Sisco call for the outside fastball, my first thought was, he knows that pitch is coming and he's going to hit it hard.  I would have called for another breaking ball, probably in the bottom part of the zone/dirt.

The fastball was right in the center of the zone. It's natural destination was somewhere high and far. A better located pitch would have been been more difficult to barrel.

For those looking for Hunter Harvey. From the Sun:

Hyde was asked Sunday why Harvey didn't pitch in the four-game series with Texas: "He’s OK. I was just giving him a break. He should be OK in the Dodgers series." Today: "He should be OK. ... He had a little bit of soreness, and we just wanted to stay away from him for a while.”

Hunter Harvey, who hasn’t pitched in a week and is throwing a bullpen today, has dealt with “a little bit of soreness,” Brandon Hyde said. He would not specify where that soreness was.

Hate it when this happens!  I fear a shutdown after MRI results.

These days, I dont care who the pitcher is, but, when you hear words like soreness.

You automatically jump to the worst case, and assume he is done for this year, and maybe even next.

Not picking on you Bob, but, this is the current state of mind, in all the fans. IMO

I think of the 33 pitch inning he had against the Nats.

Not one of Hyde's better decisions

Holding my breath.  Obviously if it's around the elbow he's screwed.  

I was pleased to see that he looked like he had bulked up some.  He's not a stringbean anymore.  Hopefully that cushions him from being so delicate but I guess we have to see.

The fact that Hyde didn't specify where the soreness was located means it's 100% located in the arm or elbow or shoulder. 

I mean, right?

sportsfan8703 is nodding his head somewhere!

Hopefully it’s nothing significant.

I'd say so.

Meanwhile, a good majority of Birdland is holding their breath, waiting to see what happens next.

I think sports fans take comfort in trying to identify points in time where they feel things went south or when something went wrong.  That way, we can feel like we know more than we do.

It's naive to think that Hunter Harvey would be able to avoid a 33 pitch inning in his career at some point.

A 33 pitch inning seems fairly low for 2019 Orioles, honestly.

33 pitch count isnt the problem.

But, that doesnt stop the pot stirrers from stirring the pot.

33 pitches in one inning is a lot of pitches.
