Jordany Valdespin called out on strikes on terrible call (visual evidence)
Matt Harvey missed a win last night because umpire Bob Davidson called a pitch by rookie Josh Edgin to veteran Chase Utley that was a fraction of an inch off the plate a ball. It was the correct call but it could have gone either way. The pitch resulted in a walk and the next batter hit the game-winning two-run homer.

Current Mets State Illustrates Why They Didn’t Bring Back Reyes
