Agree.  Especially with DFAing Straily, the 40 man roster currently has 30 guys on it.   So we weren't limited to the pitchers in the minors who are on the 40 man.   We could add anyone to the 40 man and bring him up, the spot is there.   Eshelman.  Heck, Harvey can throw a little gas in the pen.   

I watched some of the Bowie game earlier.  Harvey was dominant in relief.

Severing is at least entertaining. Love his animation!

So far in this 10 game stretch (9 game losing streak plus a potential 10th):

In the first 4 innigns we've been outscore 18-8.   Not good, but basically it comes out to an average score of opponent 2, Orioles 1 at the end of 4 innings.

In innings 5 and beyond we have been outscored 70-20.

I gotta say, I am absolutely thrilled that he is being used in relief. I hope he will end up getting a shot at closing. I'm more comfortable with him throwing 60-70 innings than with 150+ with his injury history. Besides, not like we don't need a closer. I was at the point with Harvey that I was never expecting him to amount to anything because of injuries and if he ever did make it to the majors, he'd already be a shell of his former self. Getting a closer out of him is a huge bonus from where I'm sitting. I really hope that's the plan.

His 2nd relief appearance ever.  No idea if this is an organizational shift, but it does garner interest.

Jim Palmer should have a 2nd statue built for him for continuing to sit through (and commentate on) these games.

You're just realizing this? Dude! Set the bong down and step away from the coffee table.
