IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless Park

It's going to be cold and I'm going to be there as Matt Harvey's high heat looks to burn some underknown Friars.

Really looking forward to tonight's game. In many ways, I feel like Opening Day is its own event and the season really starts tonight.

Are Headless Padres similar to Headless Monks?

The one thing we will not have to tell Matt Harvey tonight is "chill".

I love how aggressive Havey is in the zone. These pitches are unquestionably strikes, but seem to be a place and speed that the batter absolutely isn't expecting and gives up on early. Everything hard, too.

Ike's not only an enormous baseball monster, but he's so scary that his teammates wear away unis at home, because they're unworthy to share his sartorial choices. And Nick Hundley dresses like a National, because if Ike gets angry he doesn't want to be recognized.

Another satisfying nine innings at Citi Field, albeit another nine degrees in the stands. But when Harvey is on, it's balmy as all get out.
|
vtmet Apr 03 2013 09:24 PM Re: IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless P |

He did labor a bit in the last inning...1st start of the year; it was freakin' cold; he's still basically a rookie; Mets don't have a good injury track record; and the game was pretty much out of reach...Normally I agree on this point, but tonight I wouldn't have sent him back out for the 8th inning...
|
vtmet Apr 03 2013 09:33 PM Re: IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless P |

and if Terry Collins was Tony LaRussa, Harvey probably wouldn't be batting 9th when he pitches...

2nd game of the season, cold weather, large lead, a near-rookie who's never pitched more than 160 innings in a year, coming off an off-day with relievers who have yet to see action ... I had no problem with it.
|
Edgy MD Apr 04 2013 06:16 AM Re: IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless P |
It's a quick trip from "they can use the work" to "they're getting too much work."
|
Ceetar Apr 04 2013 06:22 AM Re: IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless P |

for the starters too though. Gotta incrementally go longer in the games. I mean, we know they probably won't got much deeper into the game than that with Harvey but I don't think him, or Niese, should jump to 110+ until they've done 100 a couple of times.
|
vtmet Apr 04 2013 06:40 AM Re: IGT 4/3/2013: SDP @ NYM -- Head'less Padres in Topless P |
|
as far as the "they can use the work" concept...2 blowouts situations; wouldn't have been a good time to let rookie Jeurys "break the ice" in 2013 and get a little Familia with the Citi Field mound in chilly conditions? Terry used 7 out of 8 relievers, using the guys that he'd want to use Thursday afternoon in a tight game but didn't get the rook in for some experience when the games weren't on the line...
