NEW YORK -- The first and last pitch of the All-Star game could well be "New York, New York." Young ace Matt Harvey of the Mets will start for the National League on his home mound. Mariano Rivera, in his final season, may well finish for the AL. "Having the opportunity to take the ball is something Ill never forget," Harvey said Monday. On July 16 last year, Harvey was pitching for Triple-A Buffalo against Toledo before 5,885 fans at Coca-Cola Field. On Tuesday night, hell be starting against Detroits Max Scherzer in front of a sellout crowd at Citi Field and a worldwide television audience. At 24, Harvey is the youngest All-Star starting pitcher since the Mets Dwight Gooden in 1988, when he was 23. Harvey will be the first pitcher from the host team to start an All-Star game since Houstons Roger Clemens in 2004 and just the 11th overall. "It really wouldnt have mattered what city we were playing in with the year that hes had, the impressive numbers that hes put up," said San Franciscos Bruce Bochy," the NL manager. "He would have been the starting pitcher." Harvey, 7-2 with a 2.35 ERA and an NL-high 147 strikeouts, has made 29 major league starts -- the fewest for an All-Star starter since Hideo Nomo with 13 in 1995. Big league hitters cant stop talking about his heater. His fastball velocity of 95.2 mph is 0.1 mph behind Washingtons Stephen Strasburg, the major league leader this year, according to fangraphs.com. Harvey throws the hardest slider and curve in the majors, and he ranks second in swinging strikes at 12.7 per cent, just behind Texas Yu Darvish (13.3) and ahead of Scherzer (12.3). "Hes a power guy that attacks hitters," said Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer, a two-time AL batting champion. "He has four above-average pitches." Scherzer, 28, had the most dominant first half in a quarter-century, in terms of wins. His 13-0 record before Saturdays loss to Texas was the most wins in a perfect start since Clemens won his first 14 decisions in 1986. Detroits Justin Verlander was the AL starter and loser last year. Scherzer (13-1, 3.10 ERA) joins him to become the first pitchers from the same club to start consecutive All-Star games since Arizonas Randy Johnson (2000-01) and Curt Schilling (2002). "We go throughout the season and we see guys who absolutely deal, and for skipper to give me the nod over those guys just means so much to me," Scherzer said as he sat next to Tigers manager Jim Leyland, who will pilot the American League squad. Rivera, at 43 the oldest All-Star this year, sat in Jackie Robinson Rotunda not far from a large blue sculpture of Robinsons "42" -- fitting given that the number was retired for all teams in 1997 on the 50th anniversary of the day Robinson broke baseballs colour barrier. Rivera, grandfathered in, will be the last major leaguer to have that number on his back. With 30 saves in 32 chances and a 1.83 ERA in his farewell season for the New York Yankees, Rivera is still the best. "I think it would be probably the most beautiful touch in the world if we could somehow get a lead on the National League and play the ninth inning with the greatest closer of all-time coming out of the bullpen," Leyland said. If not? "You can rest assured, he will be on the mound at some point and you will see him pitch, whether it be to a hitter, an inning," Leyland said. "You will see No. 42 pitch." A 13-time All-Star, still slender but his short-cropped hair receded, Rivera has thrown eight scoreless innings in All-Star games and has a record four saves. "Its not emotional yet," he said. "Now, that could change by tomorrow." The managers also announced their starting lineups Monday. Bochys batting order for the NL has Cincinnati second baseman Brandon Phillips leading off, followed by St. Louis right fielder Carlos Beltran, Reds first baseman Joey Votto, Mets third baseman David Wright, Colorado left fielder Carlos Gonzalez, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado designated hitter Michael Cuddyer and Washington centre fielder Bryce Harper. In the AL, Leyland has the Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout in left field and leading off, followed by New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano, Detroit third baseman Miguel Cabrera, Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, Toronto right fielder Jose Bautista, Boston designated hitter David Ortiz, Orioles centre fielder Adam Jones, Minnesota catcher Joe Mauer and Baltimore shortstop J.J.

After years of attempting to make it on the world stage, one of the games most mechanically sound marksmen has finally arrived. H2k Gamings Konstantinos-Napoleon FORG1VEN Tzortziou has never been one to shy away from a challenge against any AD carry in the world, and the 2016 League of Legend World Championship is his ultimate opportunity to do so. After a bit of a shock on the opening day with a sloppy defeat to AHQ e-Sports, Europes second seed evened its record at 1-1 with a statement victory over Brazils INTZ E-Sports Club.I think Im in a pretty good state right now, said the Greek AD carry a few minutes after picking up his first win at Worlds. Im not at my peak like I was a few years ago when people considered me the best AD carry in [Europe] for a lot of years, but now suddenly now I think I am top two. There are a lot of reasons why people [think] I dropped off, and some of them are correct. Truth is, I dont have the fire inside of me [I had] years ago in order to just play every game, grind the game. As I get older, priorities change, and so I planned to stop [playing] League of Legends a lot of times for various reasons. But I came back [to H2k] and I think Im in a really good place right now.FORG1VEN is the type of player who can pick up a random game and excel at it. While deciding his future in League of Legends, there were rumors of his possibly moving over to Heroes of the Storm or the newly released Overwatch. When it comes to the hand-eye coordination and the ability to make split-second plays that a majority of the world cannot, there are few players in the world like H2ks ace in the bottom lane.As long as I played League of Legends I never played against a bot lane in my career professionally or in scrims that I was like, Wow, these guys are really f---ing good, and that I should check replays to see how they play, outplay me, out trade me, move better in lane, he said. [But RNGs bottom lane] did things I had never seen. They could use the frames of each champion. This could become a meme like Doublelift and auto spacing, but its actually true. I think Jian Uzi Zi-Hao and Cho Mata Se-hyeong are a really good bot-lane. Every game I play against them - weere both basically the same players, [Uzi and I].dddddddddddd Uzi will contend every single creep possible, and I will contend every single creep possible. So when we face against each other, I think we are both ready to commit our lives for every creep.On the topic of which AD carries he respects as good players, he listed the likes of TSMs Yiliang Doublelift Peng, C9s Zachary Sneaky Scuderi, the aforementioned Uzi and EDGs Kim Deft Hyuk-kyu from international teams who impressed him while watching game film or scrimming against them in Korea. He did note that he wasnt able to play against SKTs Bae Bang Jun-sik so he couldnt comment on the marksmen of the defending champion. All in all, FORG1VEN said there are six to seven AD carries at the tournament that are really good and that in terms of ranking them, it all comes down to a fans or analysts preference on what they value in a player.Were going step by step, to be honest, I think thats the optimal course, he answered when asked what his goal was for the tournament as a whole. If we get out of groups, thats good. I would prefer to go out as first seed but that doesnt seem to be very likely because our team is very inconsistent, although were all really good players.and actually a really good team. But sometimes we have bad issues -- mostly with gameplay, sometimes outside of the game, like for example, our team was sick coming from Korea to here. But I trust my teammates, especially Vander. On good days, hes a really good player. On his bad days, its another matter of discussion.FORG1VEN understands that its difficult being a fan of his. Its been a hard past year to be a FORG1VEN fan, he said, finishing the interview. Because me going to Origen for a few weeks, getting kicked, and then Origen almost getting relegated - really good choice from Origen. Ill say I appreciate when people stand behind me [even when I go through harsh times], support me and say something good. I appreciate all those people. I hope they keep doing it, and I hope I give them a good reason to through my performances. ' ' '
