I blame this loss on Soupcan.

Almost certainly yes. Problem was that while Harvey was good he wasn't very efficient.

He faced 21 batters in all but required four or more pitches to dispatch with 16 of them and threw five or more to 13 of the 21. That's what pushes a pitch count to 103 in just six innings which is an only marginally efficient total if spread over seven innings and is particularly high for a guy in the midst of giving up just 2 hits and walking 1. So it's like they allowed him seven innings worth of pitches, he just used them all up in the first six.

If we wind up blowing this division lead I do hope that we schedule a CPF group ass-kicking of him.
I mean it's bad enough that he's spent the last year or more hanging out on some super-secret elitist forum talking trash about us. But if he comes back here just in time to blow the whole thing ... man, there's gonna be some hell to pay.





P.S. They've got to do something about that wall behind the wall in CF. Most of the disputed calls in that park involves balls hitting "the black" and coming back onto the field as if they're still in play.
Move it, angle it so as to produce a different bounce, smear it with super-sticky glue so there's no rebound at all, ... something!

First IGT in quite some time with no lineups. Hmmm.

Pulled Harvey too early.

I do not like the current way of having one guy for each of the endgame innings. Yuck.
