Mets Appealing Harvey Earned Run, Want Tejada Charged With Error
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, the Mets are appealing to Major League Baseball to slice Matt Harvey‘s ERA from 1.55 to 1.41, which would be within one point of the major league lead shared Clayton Kershaw and Shelby Miller.
Adam says that the thrust of the argument is that there should have been a straight error on Ruben Tejada‘s throw that bounced past Ike Davis and...
Mets Weighing Ike Davis Demotion
If, and when, the Mets demote Ike Davis, it shouldn’t be interpreted as the franchise giving up on him. It should be looked at as tough love, that they are doing what is in the best interests of themselves and their frustrated slugger.
The Mets must make this decision, whether he’s the future or not. If he is the future, then the Mets must make him right. If he’s not the future...

Matt Harvey – Enjoy it While You Can Mets Fans
TweetIn today’s 3-2 victory over the Cubs, Matt Harvey once again proved the validity of our 20% Theory of Mets games as he won for the fifth time this season against no loses – but he basically had to do it all himself, as not only did he retire 17 of the last 18 batters he faced, but also drove in the game winner with an RBI single in the seventh.
He struck out 6, and all six...

Are Mets considering a rest for Matt Harvey?
MLB.com
When the New York Mets decided to shut down Matt Harvey after only ten starts last season, baseball fans across the borough of Queens must have had that uneasy part of deja vu that nobody likes. Understandably, the Mets brass were hesitant to allow their young right-hander to pitch beyond the 59 plus innings that he had already worked, coupled with the team’s recent inability...
Mets Minors: Noah Syndergaard and other promotion candidates
We are getting closer to the “Super Two” cut-off and that means we’re also getting closer to promotion time in minor league land. Once teams don’t need to sacrifice a year of cheap service they promote their star prospects to the majors and that vacuum will have an effect on players at every level of the system. Yet I wanted to talk about the player who I think is MOST...
