Seems like the Rockies are one of those teams that is either totally on fire or completely sucks, all depending on when you get 'em. We do owe them a good sweeping or three.

HahnSolo Aug 07 2013 01:48 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

I think last night was the Mets first win against them in Citi Field since 2010. I know that they were swept by the Rockies in 2011, and I think the same thing happened last year.

Benjamin Grimm Aug 07 2013 02:19 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

You're right. The last time the Rockies lost a game at Citi Field had been in 2010.

Extra fun seeing them stare down the tunnel looking for a hitter. That used to happen back in the days when teams didn't always carry bullpen catchers, let alone sometimes two, plus a catching instructor. When a team needed their third-string catcher to pinch-hit, he had to dash through the tunnel from the pen to the dugout, not having gotten a look at the pitcher or maybe a chance to swing a weighted bat.

Harvey with a smooth first. Was missing high & hard when he missed. Two pops and a K.

Zvon Aug 07 2013 05:25 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

That last pitch to Byrd was a fastball? That's some movement Chacin has. 0-0 After one.

Zvon Aug 07 2013 05:32 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

A collective awwwwww from the fans at the game (and me here) as Colorado's Rosario strokes a line single for their first hit of the night.

Your cute kid, and well dressed, but don't quit [crossout]your day job[/crossout] school. Lights up talking about his grand-dad. They got to get that kid a cushion to sit on so he can actually see home plate. Wilmer Flintstone Flores with his first hit ever. In MLB.

Our best hitter right now got on again with yet another double, and Buck plates him.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2013 06:39 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

That's a low-assed pitch count. Let's hope he doesn't cut off at a certain count. And let's hope we pad that lead.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2013 06:40 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

Seventy pitches thru six. A pace for 105 thru nine.

Tons of grounders and slow-choppers today for the Matt-ster. Lighter than normal on the K's but that's OK by me.

Edgy MD Aug 07 2013 06:54 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

It's almost like he was told he was going to be on a short list in the second half and has deliberately altered his style to conserve pitches. On an 11.57-pitches-per-inning pace. Looking now at 104.14 thru nine.

Frayed Knot Aug 07 2013 06:57 PM Re: IGT 8/7/2013: COL @ NYM: Wednesday Harvey Wednesday

We've played so many long games this year that it's almost weird to check the scores of the other games in progress between innings and see that our game is ahead of every other one. [crossout:2wfew8af]Nearly[/crossout:2wfew8af] seven complete innings yet still well under 2 hours. 2 hours lately has meant the top of the 5th.

That may be the first pitch that caught the dirt that I"ve seen. They may need to hook him.

A pitcher is doing well if he can keep his average pitches/inning under 15. Harvey tonight had [u:3nio2xy4]no single inning[/u:3nio2xy4] over 15 pitches.

Awesome game. Bears repeating (no matter how many times it's already been said) how enjoyable having a player like Harvey is in an otherwise lost season. Seemed like a high fan IQ night; lots of applause for Flores' first hit, even before the scoreboard told everyone why. Super-cool moment when the Mets honored "The Immortal" Chris Majkowski as today is the 20th anniversary of his consecutive games streak (3,209). Cake presented on camera, scoreboard recognition, the whole nine yards.

I dunno, I re-watched that play and its really amazin he wasn't hurt worse. Watched the pitching side of the innings I missed and man, Harvey was simply excellent. Effortlessly. Aside from a no-no you couldnt ask for more from a pitcher. He pitched like an artist.
