Any word on what's up with that? (Wright did foul a ball off his foot.)

Duda, your bat on the ball, hit anywhere, would have been big.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Pfeh.

[Zvon]

Buck Ks too. Second and third, 1 out. Opportunity squandered in the first.

[Zvon]

Harvey makes a fool of Stanton there. Niiiiiice.

[Zvon]

Great analysis of Davis's swing problems by Mex. He should do more of those breakdowns like that. Some people do those and youre all, yea, whatever. But Keith makes all great points. When he does it I listen.

Marlns broadcaster on Harvey:

"I've been doing some reading and a lot of scouts describe his slider as Carlton-esque."

I'm saying boo... but who compares a righthander to a lefthander, especially with regard to breaking pitches?

"I've been talking to the Mets management about Harvey and what they speak about isn't what kind of pitcher he is, but what kind of person he is. Hard worker. Great teammate... ."

Wow! Nobody used the word "douchey"?

Seriously, though, he's struck out three of the last four and almost looks bored out there.

[Zvon]

Harvey not on his game so far tonight, but still holds em scoreless. I want to enjoy these types of games as much as when he's on, so get to scoring Mets.

He looks distracted or something tonight. Not as intense.

[Edgy MD]

It's sometimes hard to stay focused in a mausoleum of a stadium.

Fun at-bat against Fernandez, though.

[Edgy MD]

"Jose Fernandez escaped Cuba amid a hail of gunfire. It was his fourth attempt. He saved his mother who fell into the ocean."

How much of that are you wont to believe?

If eight pitches to get a pitcher out is fun for Matt, then yes.

That the word ocean was involved.

Fun for fans.

All eight of them.

[Zvon]

Big DP. The run scores but thats no biggy. We are gonna score a run, right?

Eventually.

Buck!

Shit, that was a good pitch!

You are correct sir! Ties a Met record for homers in April.

Wow, he hit a dolphin.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Buck deposits one into the big Pachinko machine in left-center. 2-1 Mets.

[Zvon]

I love what Bucks been doing but I do expect a big fall off at some point. Wouldn't it be amazin if he kept it up? Even after his start 20+ would make me happy.

[Zvon]

Matt, please don't be one a those give it right back guys.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

90 pitches through four innings, looks like several of Harvey's friends will be joining him on the mound shortly.

[Zvon]

Lead off double and then he Ks two in a row (huge), walks one, regroups after a mound visit and gets out of it with a K of Fernandez. GJ Matt!

oh, he's already fallen off. He's been the occasional hit it real hard guy for at least a week. down to 5th best catcher by OPS in the majors.

[Zvon]

Fernandez batted for himself and yet is outta the game for the top of the 5th. Hmmm.
