Everything's Harvey

I'd rather have them put a total pitch limit instead of an innings limit.

Stumbled into this while rain-delay channel-flipping...

A closed-captioning worker quoting NL All-Star manager Bruce Bochy, as quoted by Matt Vasgergian during the MLB Network broadcast of Giants-Reds wrote: "I'd like to be able to give [Harvey] the ball... whether he can do that, that's a conversation he has to have with [the Mets]."

If I've learned anything from the Johnny Bravo episode of The Brady Bunch, I've leaned that this is the sort of thing that could lead to a big head. And a big head is the most destructive force in the universe.

[ashie62]

If that is Harvey all I can say is dear Lord.

I don't now about that chest tat...Oh well...

The Mets ticket office has been advertising a Matt Harvey package for $49. Looks like you can pick up the magazine for around $8 if you want to see Matt Harvey's package.

[Guest themetfairy]

Oh my!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

[Zvon]

My first thought was I've never seen Seavers ass.

[Edgy MD]

I wish I could say the same.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

A little thick for my taste. I prefer 'em "whiplike."

Dodgers ace Kershaw: Mets' Harvey should start All-Star Game

Clayton Kershaw is headed to his third straight All-Star Game and is a strong candidate to start the game for the National League. But even he thinks Mets ace Matt Harvey should start the game which will be played next Tuesday at Citi FIeld. "He should (start). There's no reason, especially if it's in New York, that he shouldn't start. That's what the fans will want. I've got no problem with that," the Dodgers southpaw told FOXSports.com on Monday. Kershaw, 8-5, ranks first in the National League in innings pitched (138 1/3), ERA (1.89) and WHIP (0.90), but wants Harvey, who is 7-2 with a 2.27 ERA and leads the NL with 141 strikeouts to start the game in his home ballpark. Kershaw's next scheduled start is on Friday against the Rockies, while Harvey is scheduled to pitch Monday against the Giants and this weekend against the Pirates. Giants skipper Bruce Bochy is also the NL manager, so he will get a close look at Harvey. Mets manager Terry Collins, who is an assistant coach for the game, could also try and sway his decision towards Harvey. The starting pitchers in the All-Star Game tend to pitch the first two and sometimes three innings of the game. The lineup and startring pitchers for the game will be announced on Monday, July 15, a day before the game.

Harvey looks like a proper wanker in those pics.......

[Edgy MD]

The thing is, I realize he's getting a ton of publicity, and that by it's very nature makes him a babe magnet and a walking bottle of SEO hot sauce, but his hostile tobacco-chomping grill suggests to me that he's like, the Met I would least want to see naked, if I was into that sort of thing.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Wow. I have Aardsma down around 15. Or I would, if I were into that sort of thing. And Sugarpants only at 9? Blasphemer.

[metirish]

I like Satin at 24, even naked I imagine it's the brows that draws one in.......

[Ceetar]

Haven't we already seen Ike Davis naked?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I was sort of joking when I said Harvey was a douchebag but Harvey sort of is a douchebag. He should stop going around demanding he be the all-star starter and start pitching like one.

[Vic Sage]

Is it just me, or has Harvey simply come down to Earth? Is he a flawed mortal after all?

Making rounds with a publicity-hungry sexpot saps your focus. Believe me, I know.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

"I decided it was time to give Cole Hamels a run for his money in the douchebag department," Harvey remarked.

[metirish]

This picture shoot is somehow worse than the espn one......I think he is in for a rude awakening. No disrespect to Henrik and his style but he wouldn't be recognized by most New Yorkers walking down the street, Harvey seems to have way too much stuff going on, could very easily get swallowed up in it all.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, let's find him a woman to domesticate his over-exposed ass, rather than one who'll cosmipolitanize it. (And really is there anything sadder and scarier than a cosmopolitan guy who chews tobaccy?) That way he can be a douche one day in five the way great pitchers should be. Surely Nancy Seaver has a grandniece or somebody she can set him up with.

[Vic Sage]

when ya got it, flaunt it baby, flaunt it!

Harvey Pitching With Blister On Right Index Finger, Might Miss Next Start

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) � Matt Harvey hasn�t been his dominant self over his past two starts. And now it seems that we know why. Following the Mets� marathon victory over the Giants on Monday night, manager Terry Collins informed reporters that the staff ace has been pitching with a blister on his right index finger for much of the past month. �Obviously he pitched fine, but that�s not what we have seen through most of the first half,� Collins told the New York Daily News. �He�s had a small blister that we have disregarded because it hasn�t been bothering him. He didn�t throw as much between starts as he normally does and I think you saw the effects of it because his command wasn�t what it normally is.� Harvey, who will likely start for the National League in the All-Star Game if he�s healthy enough to do so, earned a no-decision on Monday. He surrendered three runs on six hits in seven frames, walking one and striking out six. The All-Star wasn�t in any mood to use the blister as an excuse. �It�s no excuse for my poor pitching,� Harvey told the newspaper. �I think if you ask any pitcher they always have some problems with blisters. I�m not going to make an excuse for my poor performances. It�s something to work on between starts and try and get better.� The 24-year-old endured the worst start of his season last Wednesday against the D-Backs, giving up five runs on nine hits in six innings. He did, however, strike out nine. After serving up a two-run homer to Buster Posey in the first inning on Monday, Harvey settled down and kept the Mets in the game. �The last two have been a struggle,� Harvey said, according to ESPN. �I�m obviously not happy. There�s work to be done. The positive part was going seven. Obviously I�m not happy about giving up the runs and stuff like that. I think after three innings it was 70-something pitches. Being able to bounce back and throw seven was probably the only plus of tonight�s start. It was a good win for us. That�s all that matters.� Collins said that Harvey might miss his next start on Saturday against the Pirates, though it doesn�t have to do with his finger. The skipper might have Harvey rest so that he can be available for the Midsummer Classic. The second-year player is 7-2 on the season with a 2.35 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He has struck out 147 and walked 28 in 130 innings pitched.

Apparently, he's had a blister, which i hear with some relief.
Maybe they can have him skip a start, and make sure he doesn't pitch more than 1 inning in the A-S game (whether he starts it our not).

on edti: DOH! Collins beat me to it.

[metirish]

Would he not be over-rested for the ASG if he is skipped?(although I am sure he will keep himself busy)

"over rested"? he should only have such a problem. They have him on an innings cap anyway. He's going to have to start missing some starts, or they'll shut him down in August and then there'll NO REASON to go to CitiField in September at all.

And what he does or doesn't do in the AS game should be of no concern to the org, other than getting assurances he won't be used much.

[Vic Sage]

in fact, they might consider holding one of Bochy's kids hostage (does he have any kids?), until Harvey is returned unharmed and nearly unused.
