IGT 09/29 - Mets at Phillies - Three more... (Harveyday)

[Guest d'Kong76]

Mets RH Matt Harvey (5-6, 6.60 ERA)
Phillies RH Ben Lively (3-7, 4.35)

[Benjamin Grimm]

6.60 ERA. Yikes.

If Harvey pitches a nine-inning shutout tomorrow, he'll get his ERA down to 5.99.

And he'd be the first Met to do so this year. The Mets are three games away from finishing their first season ever without a pitcher throwing a shutout.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Last game as a Met? Anyone? Anyone?

[Benjamin Grimm]

I wouldn't be at all surprised.

[ashie62]

Harvey, Syndergaard, deGrom, Wheeler and Matz have never done a five game turn together in any order. Ever.

[Benjamin Grimm]

2017 is the first time they ever appeared together for the Mets in the same season.

[Edgy MD]

Disappointed not to see more Synderharvey action.

True, part of my point is the many injuries that prevented it from happening.

Reyes hits a homer that I thought was going to hit his own face displayed on the scoreboard in right.

Keith sounds kind of drunk tonight.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Sounds pretty normal to me, but I'd need him to read an ad for Itchypussy
Motors like Ralph used to to be sure...

[Edgy MD]

Why did the Phillies just get a two-run homer instead of a solo homer? Because bunt singles help.

[Edgy MD]

Harvey balking a run home by hitting himself in the butt with the ball during his windup — a season in a nutshell.

[Frayed Knot]

Inventing ways to put runners on and allow them to score.

[Edgy MD]

And that's scored a double because no reason.

[Frayed Knot]

Fortunately, Juan Samuel has sent a runner tonight he should have held just two innings after holding a runner he should have sent.

[Edgy MD]

And folks say Samuel never helped the Mets.

[Edgy MD]

One thing about Plawecki: As detached as I may be from games, I always look up when he's at bat.

[Edgy MD]

Morgan getting folks with the change.

[Edgy MD]

You're supposed to take a strike Aoki.

[Edgy MD]

And the stinky Phillies win.

I really wanted to run the IGT table this weekend. I suck. #LGM2018

Trying to think of bad Met pitchers (who were thought to be better) and I
come up with Anthony Young? He lost 30 games over two years and had a
much better ERA than 6.70. I may be thinking of someone else but it's not
coming to me at the present time.

I'm Number One!

[Benjamin Grimm]

Mets pitchers with 15 or more starts and an ERA of 5.00 or higher:

[list:c33pzr32]2017 Matt Harvey 6.70
1993 Pete Schourek 5.96

Eighteen items on that list, and four are from this season!

I had totally forgotten how bad Pedro Martinez's numbers were in 2008.

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have virtually no recollection of Tim Redding. I need to de-frag my noggin.
