He will bring along some other Mets with him, but, let's call it what it is.

POW! They'll be Mharvved!

Storms and showers where I am (about 2.5 hours NW of Chicago) all morning. More rain expected.

Murphy swung the bat well yesterday...I normally like a fast guy leadoff, but that is in short supply on this team anyhow...so I say: Bat Murphy leadoff today... On Murphy's career when "leading off an inning": .297 average; .348 OBP; .511 slugging percentage; .859 OPS; 10 HRs; 4 triples; 31 doubles; 165 "Total bases" in 348 Plate Appearances; This season when "leading off an inning": .292 average; .393 OBP; .583 slugging percentage; .976 OPS; plus, he's one of the few guys on the team that can hit both LHP and RHP almost equally well...

Lefty Specialist May 17 2013 07:44 AM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

What they really need is Murphy leading off an inning with runners on base. Then they'd be all set.

The ac'chul lineup, which looks an awful lot like a 'K,' appropriately enough for a Harvey start: Valdespin – RF Murphy – 2B Wright – 3B Davis – 1B Duda – LF Buck – C Ankiel – CF Tejada – SS Harvey – RHP

I swear that last season, MLB Network would have a day game telecast virtually every week day (M-F)...this year, I haven't seen them doing that, other than during spring training...What is the point in them making this network, to have basically the same thing as "Baseball Tonight" retelecast 24 hours a day?

Gary really buried Kingman for never hitting a big home run as a Met ("up 7-0 or down 7-0"). Hit a huge one in that very park, among others.

Zvon May 17 2013 02:03 PM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

Its funny to me that Valde gets all this shit for tossing his bat, or being hotdoggy, and then after that second bunt yesterday, which he did on his own, nobody gives him any grief. I thought that was a much more serious offense than any hotdoggin he does. Its a good sign that in an interview Jordany said he is still young and makes mistakes and is trying to learn the right way to do things. IKE DAVIS GETS A HIT!!! hips still turning too early

Gary should know better than to indulge an always/never argument. Especially around Greg. If the Mets were ever up 7-0 during Kingman's tenure, he surely had something to do with it.

Edgy MD May 17 2013 02:24 PM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

Inneresting place to let Harvey hit. Either their confident they'll get another chance to plate that go-ahead run, or confident the bullpen won't give them one.

Rice is getting up in the bullpen. I agree with Gary, if Harvey hits a bump in the 8th, bring in Parnell to close the 8th and do the 9th.

Edgy MD May 17 2013 02:50 PM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

Depends on how we describe bump. That spectacularly efficient seventh not only made me look the ass, but puts him a real good position to take a crack at finishing the eight. Two-out ground single = not a bump. One-out seven pitch walk = bump.

Zvon May 17 2013 02:50 PM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

I dreaded this game. This morning, the weather forecast for Chicago was cold and raw, with possibility of rain. I remembered it was under similar conditions there that Paul Wilson first injured his arm. That's a sigh of relief you hear. Later

Edgy MD May 17 2013 09:52 PM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

Now you're being silly. Firstly, you're probably thinking of Tim Leary. The record shows that Wilson went down mid season after an early June start at Atlanta. His lone appearance in Chicago, he pitched a 10 strikeout complete game. Secondly, while rain threatened, it's been perfectly temperate in Chicago. You don't really read out-of-town weather forecasts in order to reference scarcely relevant Met history in worrying what can go wrong, do you?

batmagadanleadoff May 18 2013 11:05 AM Re: IGT 5/17 Matt Harvey at Cubs

Mets appealing Harvey earned run By Adam Rubin | ESPNNewYork.com CHICAGO -- The Mets are appealing to Major League Baseball to slice Matt Harvey's ERA from 1.55 to 1.41, which would be within one point of the major league lead shared Clayton Kershaw and Shelby Miller. The thrust of the argument is that there should have been a straight error on Ruben Tejada's throw that bounced past Ike Davis and allowed Anthony Rizzo to score from second base in the first inning Friday. Instead, Alfonso Soriano was awarded an infield hit. There also was an E-6 charged for allowing Rizzo to score from second base. In essence, official scorers are asked to reconstruct what would have happened had a previous error not been committed. The infield-hit designation meant there should have been only one out, in the scorer's estimation, when ensuing batter Nate Schierholtz sent a line drive to center field. Had there been a straight E-6 designation, Schierholtz's subsequent lineout to Rick Ankiel would have been the third out of the reconstructed inning and Rizzo would have been stranded at third base -- making Rizzo's run unearned. Even with the infield-hit designation, which meant there should have been only one with Rizzo at third base leading into Schierholtz's lineout to center, Harvey got an unfavorable ruling. The scorer decided Rizzo -- had he been at third base and not scored on the error -- would have then come home on Schierholtz's liner to Ankiel as a sacrifice fly. Would Rizzo probably have scored on the shallow lineout to the strong-armed Ankiel? Probably not. But the scorer deemed otherwise. http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/mets/p ... earned-run
