And lo and behold, it's all coming undone.

He got out of it! :golfclap:

Harvey throws his first quality start since the 2015 WS, and the Mets don't give him any run support.

The Braves are now 15-35, 20 games under .500, and that's after winning today's game. Two of those wins have been against the 32-21 Giants, and the 34-14 Cubs.

Baseball is weird.

So far so good, even on his strong days Arrieta hasn't exactly been efficient, so it'd be nice if he could go the distance considering how much the bullpen had to work yesterday.

Also I know it doesn't need to be repeated, but Kershaw's MLB The Show numbers are insane. 105/5 K/BB :eyepop: Season is early yet but it's going to take something fierce to unseat him for the NL Cy Young this year.

Fowler workin it.

And then Heyward immediately hits a ground ball :downs: I swear I've lost count of how many times Fowler's gotten on base and then immediately been forced out at second because Heyward hit one straight to 2B.

At least he had enough hustle to keep out of the GIDP.

Well he grounded out anyway so no harm, but I'm mad ball 1 to Gonzalez wasn't strike 3. That was a beautiful 0-2 pitch by Arrieta :argh:

Arrieta is gonna throw 9 scoreless and end up getting a no decision, isn't he? :sigh:

Also gently caress this ump, you squeeze the ever loving poo poo out of Arrieta's low stuff, and then call strike two on a way outside ball to Miggy? Ugh.

I have irrational hated for how much this ump is squeezing Arrieta despite the fact that it's been a difference of maybe 4-5 pitches the whole game.

So? One of the qualifications of a LOOGY is that you actually have to be able to get outs.
