Do you suppose current big-leaguer brothers Cory & Colby (OF - Toronto) Rasmus argued as kids over who had the sillier name?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Kevin talking to Leo Mazzone, who doesn't seem to be rocking back and forth.

He should still be in the game. Listen to him talk.

[smg58]

I'd hire him on the spot.

When they do, their brother Cyle tells them both to shut up. Their brother Casey just laughs.

But then the four Clemens boys show up and bring all prior discussions to an end.

A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2014

Is this IGT really taking place in 2014? Does this mean I can skip the rest of the 2013 season? Inquiring minds wanna know.

lol. damn, I didn't even notice.

You hear Mazzone?: " Listen, this is the way its gonna go...."

I never thought I could think more highly of him (lets face it, we all know he's one of the best pitching coaches ever) but after that lil chat I do.

Davey draggin his feet.

One more comment about the Rasmus brothers: let's just say that neither one of them are going to be taking any of Anthony Recker's romance novel cover jobs away from him.

Sorry I'm late. Is there any leftover fruit cup?

[Benjamin Grimm]

It seems almost inevitable that Matt Harvey will one day (and perhaps soon) pitch a no-hitter, doesn't it?

Perhaps very soon. Like within the next hour or so.

He's throwing too many pitches, though. At this rate it will take him 140 to finish the game.

Will definitely cause some high anxiety for Terry.

Agreed.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Terry said he'd let him go over 120, because he'll be getting an extra day before his next start.

But yes, the count is high. And Terry will have thoughts of Johan Santana in his head if this continues.

[Lefty Specialist]

Also, it's only a 2-0 lead, with a guy who's had 8 no-decisions in his last 10 starts while pitching brilliantly. Terry didn't trust the bullpen last night and it cost him. If he DOES trust the bullpen, it could cost him, too.

High Anxiety indeed.

Gotta let this horse run his course.

Just over 86 pitches now. 12ks! Listen to Mazzone. Fuck that pitch count bidness.

Is 12 Kormans his major league best?

[Guest Kong76]

Harvey got some sick stuff this afternoon!

[Benjamin Grimm]

12 strikeouts, 87 pitches, no hits through 6 innings.

If he averages 11 pitches per inning the rest of the way he can finish up with 120.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

What a day to leave my little radio at home. Am "watching" on gameday.

Ties his best.

[batmagadanleadoff]

NL K leaders at the start of today.

Some misinformation from Gary and Ron. They said the last pitcher with a career ERA under 2.30 after his first 25 starts was Dwight Gooden. Not true. Dwight's ERA after 25 starts was 3.02. The same digits, though, just in a different order. Someone with dyslexia at Elias?
