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

[Lefty Specialist]

Harvey's a lousy bunter. Get ridda the bum.

[Zvon]

Shit

[Zvon]

Duda's a good bystander.

[Edgy MD]

Just tuned in at the end of a meeting. Holy crap.

Terry's gonna have a hard decision in the ninth if this is still the score.

[Zvon]

GJ BUCK!

13th K for Matt!

[Edgy MD]

Strike-'em-out/Throw-'em-out double plays are good for what ails ye'.

Now that the no-nos off the table it shouldn't be difficult.

Nice play by Mr Q.
Strange, losing the no hitter didn't deflate me, and those last three out pumped me up.
LETS GO METS!

There was that home run off the foul pole in Minnesota, of course, but other than that, it seems that Harvey loses his no-hitters on the cheapest, crappiest little hits.

I'm sure his day will come.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Scoring some goshdarned runs would really be relaxing.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think there is no doubt. And today he didn't get really groovin until the midway point.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Walking the Dooder.

[Edgy MD]

You intentionally walk Duda, you face the outrage of John Buck without the usual dampening efforts he makes to effectively function in society.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Valdespin hitting for Lagares.

[Edgy MD]

Nobody wants to pitch to Valdeslam with the bases juiced.

[Vic Sage]

THIS WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR A GRANNIE! (is there a bad time?)

[Vic Sage]

ok Omah, hit that grannie!

[Zvon]

Valdesac walks for an insurance RBI. Niiiiice.

[Edgy MD]

Intentional walk, hit-by-pitch, unintentional walk and run scored --- what a gloriously flaccid rally! Keep it coming. Let's see if somebody can reach on interference.

[Frayed Knot]

If we can't make our own runs I'm perfectly content to have them handed to us.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Attaboy Q.

In Play, out(s) scared me for a second.

[Frayed Knot]

If you were Dave Carpenter
and I were Jordany
would you walk me anyway
could I get a Ribbe?

[Edgy MD]

In Play, out(s) scared me for a second.

Me too. Damn tease of an application.

If only mighty Harvey could get a chance at bat.

[Vic Sage]

I don't know about letting Harvey hit here; he has pitched enough today and probably won't go 9, so why not pinch-hit to try and blow it open. Except that Harvey is probably as likely to get a hit as any PHer we have, so never mind.

on edit: or not.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

9-pitches anyway. Good that we're working this bullpen so early anyhow.

Plus we already have a four run lead and I want at least one more inning out of Harvey
(translation: I want one FEWER inning out of the pen).

[Vic Sage]

it's just that, as a Met fan, i'm conditioned to think that every pitch Harvey throws brings him 1 pitch closer to some inevitable catastrophe, so we should minimize his pitch counts when at all possible.

[TransMonk]

Agreed, I would have gone to the pen for the 8th.
