IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Edgy MD Jul 25 2012 01:32 PM

There's no pressure. Harvey isn't here to be a savior. He's just one man. I just wanted to be the guy to start this thread because it'll one day be a museum piece. Wade Milley starts for the Diamondbacks (who should be the ones going to the American League).

Never mind tomorrow night. Let's look at the big picture. Harvey isn't departing until 2029, and when he does he will be carrying with him three Cy Young awards, two World Series MVPs, team records for wins and strikeouts, and a replica of his retired number 33. Setting the bar a notch higher.

Ceetar Jul 25 2012 01:47 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

And a lifetime .220 average with 7 home runs.

Ceetar Jul 25 2012 01:49 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Hopefully he gets some real bats and doesn't have to use his 70s from Spring Training.

Benjamin Grimm Jul 26 2012 06:53 AM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

I figure that if Harvey starts 13 games and wins all of them, the Mets will finish with a record of 60 and 102.

Ashie62 Jul 26 2012 07:22 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Darling just called out Byrdak and suggested maybe the answer was to farm out all of the bullpen. He was not laughing.

Fman99 Jul 26 2012 07:48 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Fuck yeah, Hairston ripping a gapper against his old team to plate two.

Fman99 Jul 26 2012 07:51 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

It's up to the thawed out corpse of Jason Bay to get a two out RBI here.

Zvon Jul 26 2012 07:51 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Nice hitting off this rook in the first. Expected him to give us a tough time. This is great. Got Harvey a few runs for a cushion. I like. Ha, and Hernandez says just that.

Fman99 Jul 26 2012 07:56 PM Re: IGT, 7/26, NYM @ ARI, Harvey's Debut

Harvey starts out with a K. Looks good, throws hard, pitches have some good movement to them.
