“I was able to keep the ball down, and I was getting ahead,” Harvey said. “That was the biggest thing, I was keeping the ball down and getting ahead of guys. The other outing I left some pitches up and anyone is going to hit that, so tonight I tried to get ahead of guys with my fastball especially and use the off-speed later.“I went fastball a lot tonight, whereas the outing before I was going off-speed early and getting behind with that and I’d have to go fastball. It was easy to read (in the last outing). Tonight, I got ahead with the fastball and I was able to throw some good off-speed pitchers either earlier or late as the game went on.” - http://www.pressconnects.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PluckPersona&U=009c2bd267f346edad76d7184d9fd4ef&plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&plckUserId=009c2bd267f346edad76d7184d9fd4ef&plckPostId=Blog:009c2bd267f346edad76d7184d9fd4efPost:c2f449c5-3523-473c-a133-2133ea4b6731&plckBlogItemsPerPage=5

Carlos Beltran:
Mets manager Terry Collins said he believes Beltran is okay with the designated hitter role, but Beltran insisted that even now, don’t mistake his willingness to do it for a day rather than take a complete day off for a willingness to retreat to that role on a more permanent basis. “I just don’t like it,” Beltran said. “It’s kind of like a half day off because all you do is go hit, but you have to stretch a lot. You get stiff, you get tired. I don’t feel as loose. It’s lack of experiences. Maybe the guys that have DH’ed for a long time, for example, David Ortiz, maybe he has a routine to keep himself loose. Maybe you get used to it. Right now I can take a day, but it’s not like it’s my favorite thing to do - http://blogs.northjersey.com/blogs/amazinstories/beltran_not_ready_for_a_dh_future/?utm_term=My+latest+Mets+blog+post&utm_content=%23Mets&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Taylor Buchholz:
Taylor Buchholz, the 29-year-old Mets middle reliever, has had depression and anxiety since before he was placed on the disabled list a month ago with what the team had previously described as right shoulder fatigue. Buchholz did have some problems with his shoulder, but the real reason for his lengthy absence has been his efforts to find the right medication to treat the depression and anxiety - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/02/sports/baseball/mets-taylor-buchholz-dealing-with-depression-and-anxiety.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss
