Met's ace Matt Harvey 'dating' Victoria's Secret model Anne V


http://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ani/met-s-ace-matt-harvey-dating-victoria-s-secret-model-anne-v-113052600095_1.html

New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey and supermodel Anne V were reportedly spotted getting intimate in public at the New York Rangers playoff game at Madison Square Garden, on Thursday. Harvey- who is a Connecticut-born, die-hard Rangers fan- first met the green-eyed blond bombshell in early May after they watched the Broadway Blueshirts win at the Garden, the New York Post reported. According to Us Weekly magazine, Harvey, 24, managed to get Anne's phone number and they've been dating ever since. Anne, 27, is a Russian-born model, whose full name is Anne Vyalitsina and she is more recognizable for her nine straight appearances in the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.

I've hear Harvey called our ACE by the media quite a few times now. I know he's been pitching like an ACE for the most part, but I never thought of him as our ACE. As long as Niese heads the rotation I consider him to be the ACE. I just read this:

The Mets plan to give Jon Niese an extra day to rest his balky left shoulder, starting Matt Harvey on regular rest Friday at Citi Field and Niese the following day. Niese, who missed Saturday's start with a bout of left shoulder tendinitis, will test his arm for the first time in a bullpen session Tuesday.

Will it stay that way? Is this the Mets way of attempting to change that status?

[Edgy MD]

I think it is what it is. An extra day of rest.

[Benjamin Grimm]

The rotation often gets jumbled after Opening Day, because of skipped starts, doubleheaders, etc. There is no longer a "head" of the rotation.

And Harvey is clearly the ace of the staff.

Is that pronounced "Anne Vee" or "Anne Five?"

Was just on the phone with one of my brothers and he said this same exact thing.

That WAS me! I'm surprised it took you so long to figure it out!

Matt Harvey Nude: Mets Ace To Pose Naked For ESPN Body Issue
By Raimundo Ortiz | Jun 25, 2013 01:53 PM EDT




No word yet, on whether Anthony Recker will also be featured, Swannie, but I'll post a link if I come across anything.

Matt Harvey, the 24-year-old New York Mets fireballing right-hander who owns Queens these days, will be posing nude in ESPN's newest "Body" issue which hits newsstands July 12th. Harvey has been perhaps the biggest story of the 2013 Major League Baseball season, posting a sparkling 7-1 record, 2.05 ERA and 121 strikeouts in 110 innings. He has been nicknamed The Dark Knight of Gotham, and along with another young starter by the name of Zack Wheeler, is giving Mets fans hope for the future in these bleak times. The MLB All-Star Game is being hosted by the Mets in Citi Field this year, and that could lend Harvey a hand in being named the starter if he maintains his torrid pace. He will surely garner a significantly greater female vote after they get a shot to gawk at his physique in July. Harvey isn't the first Met to bare all in ESPN's annual "Body" issue. In 2011, then-Mets shortstop Jose Reyes appeared in the magazine. Harvey's division-mate, Miami Marlins outfielder Giancarlo Stanton will join him in this risqu� edition. San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick will headline the NFL entrants in the issue along with his teammate, tight end Vernon Davis. Expect a heavy focus on Kaepernick's extensive body art, which has been previously featured elsewhere in both a positive and negative light. When asked about being in this special issue Kaepernick said, "Being selected by ESPN The Magazine for the Body Issue is an incredible honor. Thank you for believing in me, my 49ers family and my INK!" Perhaps the most surprising model for the "Body" issue is Gary Player, a 77-year-old golfer. The rest of the featured athletes are Kenneth Faried, John Wall, Courtney Force, Swin Cash, Carly Booth, John Isner, Sidney Leroux, Joffrey Lupul, Elena Hight, Agnieszka Radwanska, Chris Sharma and Daila Ojeda.

I'm drawing a 1-for-13 on that crew. John Wall is only name I know (I wouldn't recognize him even if we were the only two stuck on an elevator ... but I at least know who he is).

I'm a solid 0 for 13. I fear I might be sent to Las Vegas.

I was wondering this precise issue to myself a few days ago: Would the Mets alter their rotation to allow Harvey to start the Citi Field ASG if Harvey was otherwise scheduled to start the Sunday before the game?

Mets may set it up for Harvey to get All-Star start

By MIKE PUMA

CHICAGO � If Matt Harvey is going to represent his franchise in the All-Star Game, potentially as the National League�s starting pitcher, the Mets might have to adjust their pitching plans. Pitching coach Dan Warthen told The Post yesterday Harvey is scheduled to pitch the Mets� final game before the All-Star break, on July 14 in Pittsburgh. If Harvey makes that start, it likely would remove him from consideration for starting the All-Star Game at Citi Field two nights later. But before the Mets lost 5-4 to the White Sox Tuesday night at U.S. Cellular Field, manager Terry Collins said Harvey�s schedule is something he isn�t too concerned about at this point. �That is [20] days away, a lot could change,� Collins said, referring to postponements that could alter the rotation. �But if he gets picked to start the game, I would think we would adjust it.� All-Star rosters are set to be unveiled on July 7, but the All-Star managers typically don�t announce their starting pitchers until the day before the game. That would put the Mets in the position of needing advance notice from NL manager Bruce Bochy if Harvey was going to receive the assignment. According to the collective bargaining agreement, a pitcher used on the Sunday before the break can�t pitch more than an inning in the All-Star Game. Typically, the starting pitcher goes at least two innings. �I haven�t talked to Bruce � I�m sure that�s the last thing on his mind right now,� Collins said. Harvey (7-1, 2.05 ERA) was told yesterday that his next turn in the rotation will come on Friday at Citi Field against the Nationals. He would then pitch July 3 at Citi Field against the Diamondbacks and July 8 in San Francisco before taking the ball in Pittsburgh on July 14. Collins� flexibility comes from a scheduled off day on July 11. Harvey is now scheduled to pitch on five days� rest on his final start before the break, but could be adjusted to pitch on normal rest on July 13 in Pittsburgh. That would give him two days� rest between pitching for the Mets and potentially in the All-Star Game. Though not ideal, it could be enough to let Harvey throw 30-40 pitches in the All-Star game. �I haven�t even thought about it,� Harvey said, referring to the Mets� rotation heading into the break. �I don�t even know what date the All-Star Game is. Obviously the biggest concern is pitching every fifth day here for the Mets. We need to win as many ballgames before the break as we can and whatever they decide I�ll be all for it, going out there to do everything I can.� The Dodgers� Clayton Kershaw, who is 5-5 with a 2.06 ERA, is Harvey�s primary competition for the start, but with the Mets hosting the game Harvey has to be considered the favorite. Harvey said he was glad to find out he will be pitching Friday on four days� rest this week instead of Saturday on five. He threw only 72 pitches in six shutout innings against the Phillies on Sunday. �Everything is feeling good, the mechanics are right where I want them,� Harvey said. �It was one of those where I didn�t really feel like I needed the extra day. Obviously I don�t make the decisions and they were going to discuss the situation [Monday] and let me know, so coming in today they told me it was Friday and I�m excited.�

Mets may place innings limit on Matt Harvey
By Noah Jarosh on Jun 29 2013, 11:05am


Harvey has been one of the best pitchers in MLB since being called up in July 2012, but the Mets may have to keep
an eye on his workload.

With the team well out of contention, the New York Mets may place an innings limit on young starter Matt Harvey this season, reports the New York Post. "As I said, we�ve got to start being careful here. [Harvey] has thrown a lot of pitches and a lot of games and gotten us deep into a lot of games. We�ve got to be careful that we don�t just let him loose and overuse him.�� New York first called up Harvey in late July of 2012. Since then, the right-hander has been a full-time member of the rotation. He has also been their best starter over that span, with a 2.25 career ERA over his first 27 starts. This season, he leads the NL in ERA (2.00), WHIP (0.855) and strikeouts (132). Harvey has also already thrown 117 innings in 2013, tied for the fourth most in MLB. The man he is tied with, CC Sabathia, is well-known as being a workhorse who can eat up a lot of innings. Harvey, on the other hand, is poised to be the Mets ace for years to come. The Mets currently stand at 32-44, fourth in the NL East. With a postseason bid growing more unlikely by the day, New York will want to save Harvey's arm for when they do compete.

New York Mets' manager Terry Collins to limit Matt Harvey's workload in second half

New York Mets' right-hander Matt Harvey is on pace to throw 249 innings in 2013, which has caused manager Terry Collins to consider a plan to limit Harvey's workload through the second half of the season. "As we continue into the season with three months to go, always remember something: we are not�we are not�going to hinder this kid's health by killing him now, when the future is so bright," Collins told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo and Chris Iseman. "With (Zack) Wheeler coming, with (Rafael) Montero coming, all these young prospect pitchers coming, we're not going to jeopardize what's down the road for right now. I'm not going to do it. So we're going to monitor his workload, and hopefully he gets through the month of September." MORE: Royals DFA Jeff Francoeur | Pirates first to 50 wins Harvey threw 169 1/3 innings last season between the Mets and the organization's previous Class AAA affiliate in Buffalo. Jumping to 249 innings in 2013 would be a 47 percent leap, which is well above the standard 15-20 percent jump from year to year. Collins said he plans to speak to general manager Sandy Alderson and pitching coach Dan Warthen, among others, about Harvey's situation, as Harvey has already thrown 117 innings in 2013 in 17 starts. He is 7-1 with a National League leading 2.00 ERA. With pitching prospects Wheeler and Montero coming along in the minor leagues, the pair's emergence would allow Collins to give Harvey extended rest between starts to effectively cut his innings down. Wheeler has already made his debut with the Mets. He holds a 1-0 record with a 3.18 ERA in two starts and will make his third major league start Sunday against the Washington Nationals. Montero is still at at Class AAA Las Vegas. He will be part of the World Team in the Futures Game as part of All-Star week at Citi Field in July�a game both Harvey and Wheeler have pitched in the last two seasons. The Mets shut down Harvey at the end of the 2012 season as well to preserve his arm.
