A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2013, Pt. I

Edgy MD Jun 18 2013 06:25 AM

Game one gets underway mid-day. If you missed the midnight train last night, find yourself close to an electronic informational device this afternoon. That is all. For now.

Also per Rubin: Zack Wheeler (DOB: May 30, 1990) will become the first player born in the 1990s to appear in the majors with the Mets. The Mets and Braves are poised to become the first teams to have three games completed on the same calendar date since the Cincinnati Reds on Aug. 23, 1996.

Look at Buck catching the day game following the morning game.

The kicker about the Reds that day is that they did it in two different cities. After completing a delayed game in Atlanta on the night/morning of Aug 22/23, they then flew to Miami for a DH.

Between the walks, the K's, the foul-offs, and the deep-counts, this Wood guy has thrown around 75 pitches thru 3 innings yet the Mets have only hit six, or maybe seven, fair balls so far.

smg58 Jun 18 2013 12:04 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Good hustle and lazy defense. We'll take the run. And Harvey walks the leadoff hitter.

Two walks in one inning. Hmmm. Then Harvey rears back and gets out of it. Ronnie said it early: He does not have a good feel for the slider yet. So we are seeing more fastballs.

It seems almost inevitable that Matt Harvey will one day (and perhaps soon) pitch a no-hitter, doesn't it? Perhaps very soon. Like within the next hour or so.

Terry said he'd let him go over 120, because he'll be getting an extra day before his next start. But yes, the count is high. And Terry will have thoughts of Johan Santana in his head if this continues.

Lefty Specialist Jun 18 2013 12:55 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Also, it's only a 2-0 lead, with a guy who's had 8 no-decisions in his last 10 starts while pitching brilliantly. Terry didn't trust the bullpen last night and it cost him. If he DOES trust the bullpen, it could cost him, too. High Anxiety indeed.

Some misinformation from Gary and Ron. They said the last pitcher with a career ERA under 2.30 after his first 25 starts was Dwight Gooden. Not true. Dwight's ERA after 25 starts was 3.02. The same digits, though, just in a different order. Someone with dyslexia at Elias?

There was that home run off the foul pole in Minnesota, of course, but other than that, it seems that Harvey loses his no-hitters on the cheapest, crappiest little hits. I'm sure his day will come.

I don't know about letting Harvey hit here; he has pitched enough today and probably won't go 9, so why not pinch-hit to try and blow it open. Except that Harvey is probably as likely to get a hit as any PHer we have, so never mind. on edit: or not.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Jun 18 2013 01:38 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

9-pitches anyway. Good that we're working this bullpen so early anyhow.

Vic Sage Jun 18 2013 01:41 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

it's just that, as a Met fan, i'm conditioned to think that every pitch Harvey throws brings him 1 pitch closer to some inevitable catastrophe, so we should minimize his pitch counts when at all possible.

Hawkins Ks McCann - although it doesn't appear that J Upton was ever announced into the game. Terry might have jumped the gun on the ol' switcheroo

Reed Johnson is one of those Keith Lockhart types that will surely cost us a win.

Very nice play Q. Thank you.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2013 01:59 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Only one hard hit ball this inning (Simmons) but one walk plus two with tricky hops that could only get turned into one out total despite force plays all around.

metirish Jun 18 2013 02:00 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Braves with another run, all the hits are hard now. 2nd and 3rd now.

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2013 02:01 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Liner off the glove of Duda goes for two-bases and one run. IW for Freeman ... and I think we'll see Parnell for the attempted four-out save.

Edgy MD Jun 18 2013 02:01 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Edgy doesn't approve of this.

Are we gonna waste another nice outing by Harvey? I can't believe this. Come on pen, DO YER JOB!

TransMonk Jun 18 2013 02:05 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

I still believe this is all due to Terry trotting out Harvey for the eighth. Harvey went from having an excellent line through 7IPs to having 3 ERs through 7+IP. Doh!

Zvon Jun 18 2013 02:08 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Terry not only sent Harvey back out after he already had accumulated 100+ pitches, he allowed Harvey to hit with 2 on and 2 out the inning before, just so he could make that questionable move, thus making it even less justifiable.

That looked like a Big Johnson strikeout.

metirish Jun 18 2013 02:10 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Terry didn't load the bases , just to be full and frank on that issue.

Lefty Specialist Jun 18 2013 02:11 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Parnell tends to lose focus in the second inning of 4-out saves. Let's hope he's sharp in the 9th.

metirish wrote: Terry didn't load the bases , just to be full and frank on that issue. No, Terry just made the decision to send out the guy who did, after the game situation had arisen where it was clearly time to pinch hit for him and Terry chose not to. Totally unforseeable, right?

Frayed Knot Jun 18 2013 02:15 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Mets decide to make things MORE interesting by going out 1-2-3 on 7 pitches in their half of the 9th.

metirish Jun 18 2013 02:15 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Wrong

Kong76 Jun 18 2013 02:15 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

What's up with this pitcher jumping off the rubber before he pitches? Looks very un-kosher.

Lefty Specialist Jun 18 2013 02:16 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Rock, meet hard place. The performance of the middle relief in the 8th would inspire any manager to keep his starter in too long.

One K- One Out Parnell looking good in the 9th.

Swan Swan H Jun 18 2013 02:20 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Laird - Uggla - Simmons should be short work for Parnell.

I can't remember Wright backing up like that before and he's done it twice today, odd.

Boooo Captain! You can't be backing up on that. Jeeze. Imagine if that was the 1st hit. Oh, I thought there were two out. Now there is.

If Wright fields that ball in the eighth, it's a completely different discussion.

What a question to ask, and this from a journalist. ?@mikekerwick Asked Harvey if he drew anything -- Motivation? Electricity? -- from pitching back to back with Wheeler. "No," he said. "Absolutely not."

metirish Jun 18 2013 06:28 PM Re: A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2013, Pt.

Braves TV guys raving about Harvey " talking to the players between games and they are saying there is nothing you can eliminate with him, just go up there guessing", " best we have ever seen his slider", scout that follows the Mets.
