Jeremy Robert Hellickson is pitching for the Nationals tonight, against the Mets.

Bryce Harper hit a solo home run off of Jacob deGrom in the top of the 1st inning.

Hellickson is now pitching in the bottom half of the inning.

Tom Boswell waxes poetic once again, touching on the latest Nat turnaround whilst our lowly O's continue their slump toward the nadir of MLB....

 

"The third Nat who may be of potential importance was one of the latest and least-expensive additions — veteran right-hander Jeremy Hellickson, who pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings Thursday in a 3-1 win over the Pirates. In four turns in the rotation, Hellickson has been uniformly useful and also given a super-quick hook every time.

The result has been an effective, if sometimes slightly miffed Hellickson. He has a 3.00 ERA and only 22 men allowed on base in 21 innings. Since Hellickson has gotten little run support, Martinez has relieved him early in his third time through the batting order to give the Nats their best chance not to fall behind. 

Pitchers have despised this since long before 2018. It’s the mark of a manager’s backbone if he can look a man with 201 career starts in the eye and say: I’m taking you out after only 61 pitches because I’ve got to think about the other 24 guys.

That’s what Martinez told Hellickson in a 0-0 game with two out and a man on first in the sixth inning; he didn’t like the matchup with Gregory Polanco. Maybe 20 percent of managers I’ve covered would’ve made that move with a man pitching a two-hit shutout. A manager can learn all his players and, in the broad Joe Maddon sense, love ’em all, too, but a manager can’t care whether his players love him. You “manage for the 25” or sooner or later, you sink your own ship."

Yeah!  I have been following him since his gf is on Twitter and she shares stuff about him.  I saw him in ST years ago and thought he had promise, but he never showed it with the O's.  I'm glad for him as he seems a good guy and works hard.  I saw those stats this am and was amazed at the 6 k's yesterday!

Wieters just had surgery to repair a hamstring injury (yikes) and it sounds like he may miss the remainder of the season.   I didn't even know he was hurt.   Poor Matt.

That could theoretically be it for him.

Thirty-three coming off a serious leg injury.  He hit better this year but he was still below average.

I wouldn't sign him as a starter and I'm not sure he would take a backup role.

    • Trying to figure out which part of this is the most absurd is really difficult.
    • If I am reading correct (and I may not  be) Gil is eligible for ROY but not the PPI pick as he was not on 2 of three top 100 list.  Can someone tell me if that is correct please. it would be nice to get another pick.
    • more evidence that fWAR is the better metric, right? cowser isn't below replacement level defensively - so that # should be positive, right?
    • The O's made the playoffs.   The players  Elias acquired at the deadline helped make that happen.  Without those players and with all the injuries the O's probably do not make the playoffs.   Eflin has been a key starter.  Dominguez has saved 10 for 11.   Soto has an ERA under 2.00 in September.    Slater is a better version of McKenna  and has helped in the outfield. The O's still have 2 or more years to fix Rogers.   I agree Jimenez did not help but he didn't cost much either.
    • I think the hottest ever saw an O's team enter the playoffs was 1974. 28 of 34, 16 of their last 18, including 9 in row to close it out. Won game one of the playoffs, lost the next 3 including 30 straight innings scoreless. what happened yesterday does not gaurentee today
    • As I have said before,  someone on the O's thinks they can fix Rogers or they would not have traded for him.   He has lost a couple of miles on this fastball and that could be mechanics. Rogers has 2 options left so they can fix his in ST and the minors.  His service clock is stopped while he is in the minors.  He has two more years of major league service time left. It's a little premature to count Rogers as a bust.   Acquiring his is adding a lefthanded starter to the O's pitching depth.  He will turns 27 in November which is not old.  Heck, Suarez is 34 and added a lot to O's pitching staff this season.  
    • You mean a AAAA starter.  Sometimes I think he thinks he’s smarter than everybody else, so he does things that no one else would do just to prove a point. I don’t actually think he wants to spend money on free agents. I think he likes the idea of trying to be the smartest man in the room. I think his attitude is going to change somewhat next off-season, After his many blunders at the trade deadline.
