They should not only send him to Binghamton, but make him and Tebow share an apartment and livestream the whole damn time.

It would be a perfect opportunity for Harvey to learn some humility, embrace some service, and recognize that God-given gifts should be appreciated and not squandered.

If neither of them perform well on the field, Tebow still walks off to cheers. Matt's heard the alternative. He could learn a thing or two.

[Guest d'Kong76]

With all due respect, this apple-pie-in-the-attgig stuff has nothing to do with Harvey
nor will it ever have anything to do with Harvey. Harvey will get Tebow a couple of
hookers before they kneel down and pray together. Pass the bong!

[Edgy MD]

Getting back to the point above ... maybe one effect of the thoracic outlet surgery is a lack of stamina.

In his last outing, Harvey got his first four batters before blowing up. The turn before that, he faced four batters, and got three of them with the fourth reaching on a double.

While they are stretching their other relievers, maybe they need to compress him until he builds up a pattern of success.

I don't agree with the notion that spending time with Tim Tebow will necessarily make someone more Tim Tebow-like. I doubt that it would have that kind of impact on me, although I like the imagery of Matt Harvey and Tim Tebow praying with hookers.

And I also don't think it's fair to say that Matt Harvey is "squandering his God-given talents." This isn't a Doc Gooden thing here. Harvey's talents appear to be gone, through no fault of his own. He may not be handling his current situation like a big boy, but that's a different story.

[metirish]

I for one could not give a fiddler's fuck if Harvey were released and picked up by the MFY, he would end up getting cut there too.

[Benjamin Grimm]

And I couldn't give an oboist's fuck!

[G-Fafif]

The whole band is apathetic.

[Guest cooby]

What on earth makes anybody think Harvey and Tebow would hang out together? In the first place, Harvey seems to be a loner.


BTW, what is attgig?

all the time god is good... it was a thing, not sure what it's all about or if it's still a thing.

Look, I apologize to those who find me popping off about Tebow offensive or wrong, but I just
don't get it. The god-given gifts thing set me off and I should show better restraint some times.

[Guest cooby]

Oh! Didn't we used to have a poster by that name? I always thought it was initials, and a lot of them.

There was. I had no idea what it meant.

For the records, I agree that Tebow and Harvey should be forced to hang out together, room together, etc. I'll see Seawolf's live stream and raise him a reality show.

My point there was that if he is out there partying as much as we joke that he is, then he’s not preparing himself the way he should and not putting him in the best position to be successful.

[Edgy MD]

Painting the town red with Adriana Lima and Anne V is one thing, but raising the roof with Tracy Morgan and Phil Collins is just a bridge too far from where I sit.



A lot of Mets fans are children for Pete's sake.

Harvey DFA'd! That was quick!

The live stream would have been amazing.

[Tim walks in there door]

Tim: Hi Matt, who are you friends?

Matt: I dont know

Tim: you dont know their names?

Matt: they're hookers, Tim

Tim: ...

Matt: try one!

Tim: ...

Matt: Oh come on Tim, even the president has one.

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

I'm surprised the Mets are cutting him loose, due to the finances, but he needed to go. Not sure he could become an effective pitcher again, but his unwillingness to do whatever is necessary to improve made it inevitable. It seems that his pride and ego won't allow him to confront the problems and work to overcome them, so good riddance.

[Centerfield]

It occurs to me that Matt Harvey may be the first True Yankee before ever playing for the Yankees.

LOL! Actually Rich Gossage and Babe Ruth himself come to mind!

When talking about him to non-Mets fans I know, I've been calling him "Future Yankee Matt Harvey" since 2015.

Oh my GAWWD, Jonn. Matt Harvey is in the Owner's box.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Here is a line that NO ONE would have bet on three years ago?

Below are stats for 2016-2018 for two well known NYC pitchers.
Though Matt Harvey was coming off of TJS two years earlier, his 2015 season had gone well so there was no reason to believe that his subsequent age 27-29 seasons wouldn't go well too.
Sabathia meanwhile had been going downhill for several years already [2013-2015 = 4.35, 1.32] and was getting fatter & drunker as he was heading into [u:1e02a1go]his age 35-37 seasons[/u:1e02a1go] (and almost his 36-38 years seeing as how he has a July birthday).


But then this happened --

[table:1e02a1go][tr:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]——[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]Starts[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]W/L[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]ERA[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]WHIP[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]H/9[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]HR/9[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]BB/9[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]K/9[/td:1e02a1go][/tr:1e02a1go][tr:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]HARVEY[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]39[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]9-19[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]5.93[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]1.58[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]10.8[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]1.5[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]3.4[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]6.9[/td:1e02a1go][/tr:1e02a1go][tr:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]SABATHIA[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]63[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]25-17[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]3.59[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]1.26[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]8.3[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]1.1[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]3.0[/td:1e02a1go][td:1e02a1go]7.4[/td:1e02a1go][/tr:1e02a1go][/table:1e02a1go]
-- and it's hard to tell which outcome was less predictable.

[Centerfield]

Especially when you consider Sabathia was more or less a contemporary of Johan Santana.

During his time with the MFY's, the Mets have had 2 ace pitchers blow up on them.

Say what you want about the Wilpons, and payroll, and Mickey and Sandy, but we have had some real shit luck in the past decade.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Matt Harvey impressed in his Reds debut, pitching four scoreless innings against the Dodgers.
Harvey, who was on a pitch count since he's being transitioned back to the rotation, allowed just one hit, walked none and struck out two while throwing 55 pitches. He was the Reds pitcher deserving of the win tonight -- and he left with a 5-0 lead, but since MLB won't update an archaic rule, the victory was credited to Austin Brice, who allowed one run in 1 2/3 innings in relief.

he impressed? he was exactly the same guy that got DFA, the Reds just suck.

Tell RotoWorld

1 baserunner across 4 innings with no HRs on a below average number of pitches ... that's the exact guy who got DFA'd?

Not that I'm going to treat this one shortened outing as a sign of his long-awaited turn-around, but the guy who was just DFA'd averaged more than 3 runs allowed and nearly 7 baserunners per every four
innings pitched over the last season-plus.

[Methead]

I wasn't paying super close attention... but to me, it looked pretty much like the same guy we got rid of. Missing on both sides of the plate and not a ton of life on his pitches. I don't know how badly LA is struggling at the moment but they weren't being very selective. Time will tell.

[Edgy MD]

Sure, hard to read anything conclusive, but ceetar seems to be writing above as if he was pitching against the Reds, not for them.
