Harvey numbers are awful! 

He's been pretty solid since moving to the bullpen.  He had 1 bad outing at Norfolk that inflates his ERA there.  I don't really care if they call him up this year, but I'm not too worried about his stats at this point.

Well it’s called “development” with what we’re doing with him. We’re letting him go multi inning outings. That’s what we should be doing, but in September, you take a look at him in 1 IP outings at the MLB level. Maybe ease him in against some bottom of some lineups. 

Who in Norfolk has better than “awful” numbers?  Only Akin?  Everyone still got there look.

If the FO cared so much about stats then DJ Stewart would definitely be up here, and probably Mason Williams too. Jace Peterson had to put up a .930 OPS for 80+ games to get a look at 3rd.

A guy with a 6+ ERA at AAA has done nothing to deserve a look at the majors IMO.

and most of the other guys are in the same boat.

I don’t think Harvey should get called up, except maybe for a look in September.    But next year is his last option year, so we’ll undoubtedly see him some in 2020.

Tayler Scott getting the call today. 

He hasn't allowed an earned run in at least his last 10 AAA appearances.

So we are going to keep doing this 2 man bench thing.

Well, we're 2-0 so far.   Just hope none of our outfielders gets hit in the face with a fly ball.

      What a difference a couple players make

      By Filmstudy · Posted

      You can add Culoumbe and Webb to this list.  All 5 are between useful and star members of the roster, but there is also a big addition-by-subtraction gain in getting rid of the 5 guys they replaced.

      Ohtani

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Finally getting to watch a couple of his games in some detail, I can report he probably doesn't slide head first much. At least, as a baserunner, he doesn't wear a mitt as our guys do.    Looks like a lighter thumb guard kind of thing, but fingers are free. I missed a slide test because the base he just stole was standing up, his MLB best 33rd in a row without being caught. Ohtani v. Cease 3 times was good to get to see, and LAD and SDP playing another great game of baseball as a kid from Baltimore and Manny try to push the world's greatest talent collection. Dodgers might have lost their (ancient) shortstop to a muscle strain while base running.    He couldn't go 1st to home on an Ohtani double that might have been a triple if he had been able to do so.

      Orioles, Matt Bowman Agree To Minor League Deal

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      I may be misunderstanding, but if you are suggesting that you would recall Rogers for the playoffs, then I must respectfully and strongly disagree. Baker is odd man out here, or maybe Smith, but I would definitely keep Bowman

      A litmus test is if you'd prefer Trevor Rogers back for last guy. Tell me if it sounds crazy, but a pitcher you can sign to a minor league deal in mid-August might not be competitive with the world's greatest hitters in late September. It is fun to curate a trick pitch that works for a minute.

      Zach Eflin 2024

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Just read two interesting tidbits - Juan Soto has battered him something like 18/35 which seemed like a lot but I guess PHI and WSN saw each other a bunch in the NL East. Also that he passed 1000 career innings.   It caught me a little by surprise he has been around that long.    Fingers crossed Bradish and Grayson in their careers can get there.    Eflin is 3rd among pitchers at age 30 and down this season. Hopping to Active Leaders to see how few pitchers attain that in this Driveline/Arm Barn era, tonight he became the 57th active pitcher to get there.     He gives us the ~162 IP we hope for in 2025, it'd go up about 20 spots.

      Westburg, Urias, Mountcastle… Good defense, even when there’s bad defense. Westburg missed a ball that went for a hit, but I didn’t feel any foreboding, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure that that one play wouldn’t ruin the game. And it didn’t. Good pitching, even when there’s bad pitching. Eflin had never in his whole career walked 5 guys, but I wasn’t worried, for some reason. Even when Bowman had his worst outing as an oriole, I wasn’t worried, no,”here we go again” because I felt sure we’d win. And we did. Good hitting, good base running, even when Santander REALLY wanted that triple… and didn’t get it.  The fundamental baseball smarts seem to have returned, so a mistake is just a mistake. I feel really good about this team now, even though they haven’t been perfect. I really feel they’ll cover for each other, and we will enter the playoffs strong. I feel most comfortable about facing the Yankees again; they just don’t seem like a strong team, and I’m not the least bit worried about facing them again.
