Unless they trade Gausman or Bundy, Cashner will be the #5 starter next year as Harvey is added to the rotation.

1. Gausman
2. Cobb
3. Bundy
4. Harvey
5. Cashner

Harvey isn’t exactly burning up AA at the moment.   4.62 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 8.2 K/9.

And, they will ........ at least for one more start.

 

Steve Melewski: ) Showalter said that David Hess is lined up to start on Friday, at Tampa Bay. That is plan for now. If Miguel Castro doesn't pitch in this series against the White Sox, then could both of them could conceivably pitch in that game. But Castro likely will be needed out of the bullpen in this Chicago series.

The "Hess Express" is quite excited but poised:

“It’s gonna be pretty cool to see (Harper) walk up to the plate and get a chance to compete against him,” Hess said. “I know he is going to be ready to go, so I’ve got to match that intensity on the mound and it will be a lot of fun. Looking forward to it.”

One thing Hess promises, there will be no tiptoeing around Harper, no nibbling so he doesn’t get burned.

“He’s a great hitter. But, at the end of the day, I still want to go hard at him. I still want to attack him the saw way I do anybody else,” Hess said. “Because the more timid you tend to be, that’s when you run into trouble. So, even though he is that big-named guy for their team and one of the best guys in the league, I still want to go right at him and do everything I can to get him out.”

But, understand, Hess isn’t just pitching for the Orioles, trying to snap a four-game losing streak and help his club avoid a sweep at home against a regional rival.

He’s also pitching for his friends and family back in Tennessee, who are all Atlanta Braves fans.

“I think a lot of people back home, and that I’ve been around growing up, are really excited. I grew up with a lot of Braves fans, so I know that they’re cheering for a win against the Nationals to kind of help them out,” he said. “I think they are excited about it just as much as I am.”

Not a bad start, would like to see more strikeouts.

[El_Duderino]

Every rotation needs a Miguel Gonzalez type. 

[foxfield]

Starter gave us a chance to win. That’s good work. Keep it up. 

[wildcard]

Looks like a nugget.

[sportsfan8703]

He’s throwing strikes. Gotta like that. 

[Babypowder]

I don't think this is sustainable at all until he starts missing some bats, but it sure beats watching Tillman.

The issue was not whether or not Hess could turn the Nationals into the Rays, but that Hess has/had no control over what the Orioles' offense does/did.
