And gets in the game.

If he's electric just sitting on the bench it isn't very exciting.

Yes, and all the other players move away from you on the bench to keep from getting shocked.

That velocity lets you get away with mistakes. Looked like it had movement too.

[LTO's]

That was awesome. Touched 100!

[yark14]

Really quick delivery.  If he hits his spots that is a tough fastball to hit.  Hopefully this is a nice springboard for him into next season.

I'm done with Brooks, Eshelman, Bleier, and Tayler Scott as far as 40 man evaluation goes .  They need to be DFA'd.  I believe all would make it through waivers any way. Especially since Yac did. 

 

What a horrific take? You want to DFA Bleier? The guy who before his injury had the greatest start in the history of MLB baseball. From the Baltimore Sun: 

His ERA+, which adjusts a player's ERA to the league-average, was 220 — the highest of any pitcher with at least 100 major league innings in baseball history.

We should hold on to him. https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/bs-sp-orioles-richard-bleier-activated-20190516-story.html

What was Harvey hitting on the radar gun in the minors? He was consistently 98 to 100 tonight!!! I thought I heard Palmer say he was like 94 mph.

Got me excited for the future.

He had a velocity spike with the move to the pen.

[Greg Pappas]

Perseverance paid off.   I'm so VERY happy for Harvey.  Naturally, we all hope this leads to a nice career with us.  

[24fps]

He looked great tonight.  I hope this is just the beginning for him.

[pdiddy]

Good for him.  Nice to see him healthy and dealing.

[PHRESH]

Fantastic debut. Closer potential.

He was usually 94-96 as a starter, but has been mostly 97-99 in relief. 

[Aristotelian]

That was one nice cup of coffee! Off speed pitches were not super sharp but he commanded the FB to get ahead. Hitting spots at 99-100. Really looked effortless with the FB. LOL, so much for the "Hunter Harvey is done" school of thought.
