Not sure that you can rely on him long term, but I'm sure he will pitch when he is here until the next time he can't.

The bullpen could use the help. Hope he pitches for a while without getting hurt.

The two innings is a little odd, nothing wrong with being a one-inning reliever, it isn't 1987, and that comment by Hyde is weird. Unless they think two innings is less strain than throwing on back-to-back nights, I don't get it.

This is good news. But it’s also a bit like Lucy, Charlie Brown and the Football. There’s really no since thinking this time will be different. Of course that won’t stop me from doing it...no question the man has talent. 

I’ll be honest: he wasn’t that impressive to me last year.  Even though he only walked 2 batters in 8.2, his command wasn’t very good.   I’m not expecting him to be a savior.   But, happy to be wrong.

@MurphDogg I think the two inning hopes are based on pitch count, certainly. But I think you're right that they would like to not use him on back to back days, if possible. I watched the Zoom conference, and Hyde did say that it is very difficult to protect pitchers these days. Personally, I say throw him out there, even back to back nights on occasion. It is time to take the training wheels off.

Still it did sound like (from reading, didn’t hear Hyde and I know tone matters) that Hyde was almost mad at Harvey for getting hurt again.   But I am sure Hyde himself is stretched pretty thin right now and his mood in general is not the best.

I did not get that from watching it. From my perspective, Hyde is not mad at him. His answer was direct, and I think it was telling of how much he is tired of having to juggle a stable of struggling relievers. He has to protect nearly every reliever he has access to, but it's not about Hunter only. At some point, enough is enough. Throw him out there and let him sink or swim...or go back on the IL. 

I think Hyde has handled himself with class and dignity through a terrible stretch.

      Adley's health this season

      By interloper · Posted

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      Adley's health this season

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.

      One interesting thing is I think he homered later that game and it was his last for a while.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By interloper · Posted

      Roster-wise and money-availability-wise, yes, the Orioles are the best fit of the 30 teams.  Location-wise and track-record-of-spending-wise, not so much.  I kind of think SF is the team. Posey just meddled in the terrible signing of Chapman, as former player GMs often do, and I could see him going hard after a big signing and overpaying like hell for him.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By btdart20 · Posted

      Eflin, Grayson, and Kremer are ahead of Povich now.  Likely Suarez too.  Rogers is a dark horse that needs a new jockey or something. I doubt he's traded.  He could be optioned.  "When" we bring in another SP, his OD odds will change the most.
