Fun comparison.   In the state of Missouri today:

   -- Matt Harvey starts against an average Kansas City lineup
   -- Wade LeBlanc, who we cut earlier this year and kept Harvey, starts against the best team in baseball

Let's check back in about 3 hours and compare how they did.

Last night, the Pirates scored 5 in the bottom of the 9th off Mets closer Edwin Diaz to walk off a 9-7 win.   Today, the Pirates got 6 runs in the first off Taijuan Walker.   11 runs in 2 innings vs a first place team, not bad.

And deGrom went on the IL today with forearm sorenss.  

It might only take about 83 wins to win the NL East.

Harvey with a quick inning.

[SteveA]

6 pitch 1-2-3 inning for Harvey against the team he played for last year!

Hyde overplays his shitty players. I don’t need to give McKenna another look. He can’t hit and I know that. Shouldn’t be taking ABs away from Santander or Mountcastle.

Glad this happened to a team other than the Orioles.

I think the Pirates also did something monstrously stupid this year but I can't remember what it was.

Was that the play when the batter-runner induced a rundown between first and home?

Urias can hit a good fastball.

He now has something like 6 multi hit games in the last 10.  We have t had a shortstop hitting this hot since Tim Beckham's first month as an Oriole 

[SteveA]

9 out of 10 batter retired.  28 pitches.

Ben McDonald: "I love the way Austin Wynns calls a game.   He's all in it".

LOL, Yeah that was it. The 1962 Mets would be proud.
