A Call to Arms: It's the Harvey Day IGT: 6/18/2013, Pt. I

[Vic Sage]

I still believe this is all due to Terry trotting out Harvey for the eighth. Harvey went from having an excellent line through 7IPs to having 3 ERs through 7+IP. Doh!

Terry not only sent Harvey back out after he already had accumulated 100+ pitches, he allowed Harvey to hit with 2 on and 2 out the inning before, just so he could make that questionable move, thus making it even less justifiable.

That looked like a Big Johnson strikeout.

[metirish]

Terry didn't load the bases , just to be full and frank on that issue.

Parnell tends to lose focus in the second inning of 4-out saves. Let's hope he's sharp in the 9th.

No, Terry just made the decision to send out the guy who did, after the game situation had arisen where it was clearly time to pinch hit for him and Terry chose not to.
Totally unforseeable, right?

[Frayed Knot]

Mets decide to make things MORE interesting by going out 1-2-3 on 7 pitches in their half of the 9th.

[metirish]

Wrong

[Guest Kong76]

What's up with this pitcher jumping off the rubber before he
pitches? Looks very un-kosher.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rock, meet hard place.

The performance of the middle relief in the 8th would inspire any manager to keep his starter in too long.

That always has looked illegally deceptive to me.

[Vic Sage]

lets just hope Parnell makes the point irrelevant.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Full confidence in Bobby here!

[Zvon]

One K- One Out


Parnell looking good in the 9th.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Laird - Uggla - Simmons should be short work for Parnell.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wow, that was a close play.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

This whole season is Uggla-y

[metirish]

I can't remember Wright backing up like that before and he's done it twice today, odd.

[Zvon]

Boooo Captain! You can't be backing up on that. Jeeze. Imagine if that was the 1st hit.

Oh, I thought there were two out. Now there is.

[Frayed Knot]

BJ Upton to PH

[Guest Swan Swan H]

Zvon sez: BJ sux!

[Guest Swan Swan H]

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

win?

[Frayed Knot]

We tried to lose but were unsuccessful as BJ grounds out to Muffy.

It is Terry's job to gauge his starters, though. Anyone who watched Harvey pitch the first 7 innings could see that he clearly didn't have the same stuff in the eighth.

[Zvon]

Zvon sez: BJ sux!

And HA!

YES!

I think a win is just what the doctor ordered.
Is this the book we put it in?

[Vic Sage]

WIN!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

BOOKS!!!!!

That's got to feel good for Harvey -- finally.

yes, just taking the piss really....but as noted what Terry is bringing in after taking Matt out is nothing special.
