Former Mets OF Carlos Beltran, now with the Yankees, thinks Terry Collins wanted to remove RHP Matt Harvey prior to the ninth inning during Game 5 of the World Series (Feb. 10).
"He was looking down and I felt that in his mind he wanted to take [Harvey] out,'' Beltran said. "But at the same time, Harvey was pitching such a good game and Harvey wanted that moment. He went with what Harvey showed him and not what he was thinking."
"That's an experience for him," Beltran continued. "Later on [taking Harvey out] will happen.
