They didn't protect his arm post Tommy John. There is a reason some teams shutdown pitchers after the surgery.
Can't be both, Hasn't made his money yet. Was actually looking great until the blood clot in spring training. Probably needs to be shut down for a while.

Yankees fans dont even have enough spunk to respond to ncaaball's eulogy for their team. Our only Red Sox fan converted to Nats fandom. Orioles fans' meth withdrawal prevents them from typing effectively. What other baseball fans are there on this NE corridor newsgroup?

I enjoyed having a true class act like Halladay in town, well worth it, he was the best there was in the game for at least one of those years (probably two), Phils fans hadn't seen that over a full year arguably since Schilling (even then had Pedro doing his thing, and 'roided up Roger). And while I don't subscribe to this, to a Mets fan a playoff no hitter alone would probably be worth him being useless for even more time than he was, then add the perfect game to the mix.

$75mill and the #81, 24 and 25 ranked minor league prospects is a fair price for two cy-young level seasons just as the franchise's core was peaking/had peaked.
Another title with that group was worth the risk for Halladay. Am ok with what we got and gave up, at the time and now. Especially if you couldn't avoid the Lee trade -- dumb as it was -- once they were set on dealing Lee for a handful of third tier Canadian, deaf and coke-addled "prospects" did need another top end starter.
Remember, a regular season no hitter is better than making the playoffs. That was established out here years ago.
I saw an article yesterday that quoted a scout who said Harvey's throwing across his body which gives the hitters a better look at the ball. It could be a bad habit or poor form brought about by injury or fatness.
So Harvey turned out to be the cheeseburger fiend and not Trout as originally suspected? This is what happens when your source is someone you think is in the know that you meet when your wife is shopping for a washing machine.
Harvey is such a baby, he can't even face the media after a tough start (again). He was rightfully lambasted by the NY media today. Couldn't have happened to a douchier guy.

Nola has the exact temperament you'd want from a pitcher. Nothing phases him, he never shows emotion. Reminds me a lot of Halladay in that regard. Have you ever seen the guy in the dugout when it's not his day to pitch? He looks exactly the same when he is on the mound.

Unlike the Phillies last 2 hot pitching prospects- Brett Myers and Cole Hamels. Both mound divas.
And until this year , Harvey is the guy who wants to put 97 in your ear if you get too close. I'll take that too. He'll be ok. Nola has middle of the rotation stuff. I'm glad he's calm though.
Dude - Harvey stinks right now, and I wouldn't be all that certain that he will be ok. This is not a small sample size kind of thing.
There are literally dozens of examples of very good pitchers going through extended periods of awful. It happens. I'm not one to write off several good years for 2 bad months. Till then it's Syndergaard, Matz, Wheeler on the way back, and deGrom just fine. But hey, Nola's calm out there. All good on your end too.
