Who's setting Matt Harvey's innings limit?

No one wants to say.

Before Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Yankees, Terry Collins told reporters that Matt Harvey would be on an innings limit against the Mets' crosstown rivals. And so, even though the fireballer had thrown only 77 pitches through five shutout innings, Collins pulled his ace, who had limited the Yankees to one run and one hit while striking out seven.

Mets fans then watched a parade of relievers turn a 1-0 lead into an 11-1 deficit in three innings, while Harvey—who, had he had a clean sixth inning, could have set up the Addison Reed-Tyler Clippard-Jeurys Familia bridge to close out the game—watched.
