Fun Stat: If Galvis makes the play on that groundball and Paul Fry didn't allow both of Harvey's runners to score in Boston, Matt Harvey would have a 3.68 ERA through three starts with the O's. I

Be fun just watching Severino try to catch him.

For all his struggles this year, it’s an absolute pleasure to see him succeed now.

Even if he has one more good start next week, would he really become a trade chip? Would we really get enough to make the reclamation project worth it? Let it pay off next year.

I can't see him having any deadline worth. Nothing Elias is going to bite on anyways... Mice well just let him play out the year here.

 

edit: He's seems like a good clubhouse guy, and a genuinely good guy. Let the young guys pick his brain.

Yeah, I’d rather hold on to him at this point instead of trading him for guys who won’t amount to much.

I don't see the point in that.  He is only with the O's for another two months.  The O's will not be contending this year.   If they can get something for him, trust the scouting department and get a young player while saving 150K.

I agree with this. I'd be happy with 1 or 2 17 year old Dominican lottery tickets.

I don't even think you'd get that for him.  I mean, maybe you would but I think teams realize that those Dominican lottery tickets have the potential to be more valuable than some 26 year old quad-A organizational filler type. 

Anyway, he looked pretty good yesterday, still didn't strike out enough batters for me to think that he's turning a corner of some sort.  But maybe his ERA will be more aligned with his FIP (which isn't that bad) as the season goes on.

That could very well be correct but with every team worried about filling innings, I think he has some value to someone. Lots of teams desperate for pitching now. 

Even the great Andrew Friedman traded Yordan Alvarez for Josh Fields. If we could get the equivalent of Jean Pinto, I'd think of that as a win even understanding Pinto or his equivalent may never master AA.

I agree with this.  I wouldn't trade him just to save his salary but maybe they can get a bullpen prospect.  All it takes is one (or better, two) contending teams that think he's turned the corner and can be a decent back-end starter down the stretch.

Maybe....I question what the return would be for such a small  savings.

Wade LeBlanc was brought back.  It's possible Harvey may be as well.

We would not even get what we got for Cashner, who has disappeared despite having compiled a good record with us before being traded.

The haul we got for Bundy was probably a good one, but Harvey will get maybe 1/4 of that--1/3 at most.

      DH - O'Hearn v. Kjerstad

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      There’s a good chance McCann starts game one with Burnes. Big roster. We can always move Adley from DH to C late in the game. Lose the DH, but have a big enough bench to just pinch hit and double switch to hide the pitcher’s spot coming up.  So really we’d only be sacrificing 2 ABs from O’Hearn/Mounty/Kjerstad but we get Burnes throwing to his boy every pitch.

      The Achilles heel for this team is the bullpen

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      We would have lost last night regardless due to zero runs scored by the offense. It is worrisome that Cano looked awful in back to back games. After talk about arm soreness. He has been the one reliable guy. Once we fell behind I don't really care how bad Bowman and Baker are. Hopefully they don't even make the roster for the playoffs.

      Don’t sleep on Povich getting a chance to eliminate the team that traded him away. That kind of stuff matters. The little extra…

      I do worry about the McCann start although he has been hitting lately, so maybe you can justify it.

      It’s the 7th inning with Burnes or Eflin on the bump. A tough lefty is coming up. Who you bringing in?  Perez or Coloumbe?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      My thoughts: - I agree that the Achilles heel is the bullpen and not the offense (especially with Westburg, Mountcastle, Urias, and Kjerstad back). - I also agree that Perez is overused in high leverage situations. This is going to come down to the degree you expect his “clutch” performance to be predictive going forward.  - I second the notion that most good bullpens are built with some degree of dumpster diving.  If you go back to offseason threads, there were not many desired bullpen FA targets (outside of unrealistic ones like Hader) that would have worked out well.  Maybe we haven’t “dumpster dived” well enough as evidenced by the success of Kaleb Ort in Houston. - Jacob Webb hasn’t been sharp since returning from the IL and Bowman has looked shaky his last few times out. - We don’t have a true closer, only a group of mostly effective set-up men in Dominguez, Cano, and Coulombe. - Part of me wishes they would be more aggressive with G-Rod and the Mountain. While we expect the team to continue to contend, you never really know how many times you’ll be back in the playoffs. However, I know in my head they are probably making the right decision. - I also feel like they should be auditioning McDermot, Selby, Young, or Strowd (who has been very good since August after rough Norfolk start). They could option Baker who I think is unlikely to have a path to trusted status after last year’s ALDS performance. This feeling may be mostly driven by dissatisfaction with the current state and wanting something better.  It might be unrealistic to expect options unproven at the MLB level to suddenly step in and be key playoff pieces.

      Oh if we’re talking about what they will do, I can see it being something stupid like McCann at C and Adley at DH. I do think Mullins has enough veteranosity to outweigh Hyde’s obsession with L/R matchups.
