NY Mets at Arizona When: 3:40 PM ET, Wednesday, May 17, 2017 Where: Chase Field, Phoenix, Arizona By Gracenote The reeling New York Mets turn to the struggling Matt Harvey when they attempt to salvage the finale of their three-game series against the host Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday afternoon. Harvey has lost three consecutive starts, the last two of which straddled his awkward team-imposed suspension earlier this month, and both he and his team are in need of an improved effort. "You just send him out there and you hope he's getting back to what Matt Harvey is," Mets manager Terry Collins told reporters. "That's what I'm looking for - improvement. That's it." Collins' club has lost six straight after falling dropping a 5-4 decision on Tuesday, and opponents are averaging 7.8 runs during the slide. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks have won five of their last seven and are 17-8 at home. Brandon Drury has hit safely in 13 straight games at Chase Field and Yasmany Tomas - who homered Tuesday - is a career .366 hitter with six blasts in 11 games against New York. TV: 3:40 p.m. ET, MLB Network, SNY (New York), FSN Arizona PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Matt Harvey (2-3, 5.63 ERA) vs. Diamondbacks LH Patrick Corbin (3-4, 4.17) After opening the year 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA in four starts, Harvey has posted a 10.43 ERA during his three-game losing streak, with the last setback coming at Milwaukee on Friday after his return from the suspension. He was reached for five runs on seven hits and five walks in five innings by the Brewers. The 28-year-old, who has allowed seven homers in his last four outings, is 3-1 with a 3.20 ERA in four career starts against Arizona. Corbin finished April with a 2.29 ERA but has allowed 12 runs in 10 innings this month, although he picked up the win with a six-inning effort against Pittsburgh on Friday. The New York native is 3-1 with a 2.45 ERA in five starts at home after going 1-8 with a 5.57 mark at Chase Field last year. Corbin has dropped all three of his career decisions against the Mets and has struggled with Jose Reyes (4-for-8, walk). WALK-OFFS: 1. The Mets placed SS Asdrubal Cabrera (thumb) on the 10-day disabled list and signed RHP Neil Ramirez. 2. Diamondbacks SS Chris Owings has recorded three straight two-hit performances and is 12-for-30 over his last eight contests. 3. Arizona has won six of the last seven meetings, including four in a row at home.

And supposedly Terry is going to a four-man rotation, skipping Gsellman for two turns.

cooby May 17 2017 12:27 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Ah an afternoon game. Must win for Harvey, needless to say

Well you've got off-days in the next five, so why not use him to shore up the bullpen and hope he gets his shit together before you need him again, probably a week from Saturday. And if he doesn't find it soon afterward then hopefully either Matz and/or Lugo will be just about ready to step in.

Boy, no confidence in Harvey right now.

If The Scorpions can't save us, who can? You want to hold off as long as possible before resorting to Thin Lizzy. That's pretty much the last bullet in the gun.

Lefty Specialist May 17 2017 04:45 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Harvey's just not right. Whether it takes longer to recover from TOS than he's had, or whether it's just a general decline, I don't know. He doesn't look focused out there, and his pitches have no bite. He throws 95, but it's a flat 95. Teams seem to catch on to him quickly.

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2017 06:30 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

I think Harvey's diva act (coke) and subsequent mopiness (no coke) is at the very heart of this heartless play by the Mets recently

d'Kong76 May 17 2017 07:35 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Hopefully he got a big fat bag on his cab ride in!

Edgy MD May 17 2017 07:44 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Watch how he finishes his pitches. If his follow-through is deliberate and intentional, then it's Harvey the Pitcher. If he just sort of goes limp, it's Harvey the Baby, and it's a long night coming.

That was fast. No dope today. Matt can have my hydro.

Edgy MD May 17 2017 08:03 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Not the lineup you dreamed of this offseason, but it's the one that's going to fight for your honor.

Ashie62 May 17 2017 08:03 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Glad to see Conforto rake, I feared he was starting to turn south.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2017 08:06 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Harvey's pitched to three batters. A triple, a groundout, and a double. I'm just checking in on GameDay, but it seems like he's doing the "Baby" follow-through that Edgy mentioned.

Ashie62 May 17 2017 08:06 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Harvey looks like shit.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2017 08:08 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

And now a walk. "Coaching visit to the mound."

Ashie62 May 17 2017 08:10 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Thank you Tomas. You may have saved our bullpen.

41Forever May 17 2017 08:20 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

I don't know if I've ever seen the DBacks ballpark with the roof open and a day game. Looks different.

Darn it, Jose. Seriously? What horrible base running.

d'Kong76 May 17 2017 08:21 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Jose! Wtf?

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 08:21 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Both pitchers struggling through hits and high pitch counts so far. This looks like it's going to be a long one and into the bullpens early. And Harvey still can't bunt or hit.

Chad Ochoseis May 17 2017 08:21 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Oh, for fuck's sake, Reyes!

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 17 2017 08:23 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

He's a moron

41Forever May 17 2017 08:24 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

And, naturally, a lead off double after the base running debacle.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 08:25 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

I can't imagine what he was thinking (he wasn't obviously) with the play in front of him like that.

41Forever May 17 2017 08:29 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Bullet dodged!

What do you know? Harvey gave away a lead

A nice, crisp game on getaway day - NOT! Ugh - even when the Mets were ahead this was torture to watch.

Ashie62 May 17 2017 08:49 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

LAGABOOM

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2017 08:49 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Lagares ties it up with a home run.

Obi Juan Lagares!

41Forever May 17 2017 08:55 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Jose made it to second safely this time...

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 09:11 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Harvey at least avoids the dreaded give-back inning, even as he put the leadoff runner on for the 4th straight inning and has now thrown a full five innings worth of pitches thru 4

Nymr83 May 17 2017 09:24 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

the walks are what is killing me with Harvey, is he nibbling or just missing?

Gzelly fitting right in. Walks smashed balls everywhere, lead lost again.

Ashie62 May 17 2017 10:13 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Still tied.

GO GO GO!!!! Long day of summer stuff and tuned in here to find game tied! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! There's still a chance! How did Harvey do, if I may have a quick synopsis before I go do cat boxes

Edgy MD May 17 2017 10:23 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Harry Blackmun just passed me a note. Rosenstein appoints Robert Mueller special prosecutor. Mets 4 Diamondbacks 4

Edgy MD May 17 2017 10:42 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Extra innings: Mets have Duda and René Rivera on the bench. Backs have thier backup catcher Jeff Mathis. Feels like Jorge de la Rosa has been pitching for 15 years.

And Reyes goes down looking at a fastball over the plate with the go-ahead runs on. Flurgmbl.

And Pee-Wee Herman ends the game. Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4. Remember the day. Might be the last time you ever see Montero. Not that he's alone in the blame, but you know.

Frayed Knot May 17 2017 11:12 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Well, that's the season thus far in a nutshell.

bmfc1 May 17 2017 11:16 PM Re: IGT 05/17 - Mets @ D'backs - Time to Rock Again?

Why was Montero in the game? I'd rather have seen anyone else, including Pawlecki. Why is Montero on the Mets? Don't tell me that there is no one else in Vegas because I'd rather see Smoker. Why is he still in the organization? Because Sandy is a lazy, arrogant, do-nothing GM.

Watched the first 4-5 innings on the DVR when I stumbled across a headline on Google News. Glad I didn't invest 11 innings of my life to watching this shit show. Harvey is a serious mess right now, he's got no idea where the ball is going.
