Mets Star Pitcher Boozing Before Playoffs, Misses Mandatory Workout
The Marlins announced Tuesday that Dan Jennings is returning to his former job as general manager after moving to the dugout as manager this season.
All players traveling to Los Angeles were accounted for at the Wednsday workout. “And the last thing I ever want to do is not be here for my team”, Harvey said. “I basically…there’s no excuse”.
However, Harvey, who won’t be a free agent until after the 2018 season, has done little to curry favor with Mets fans and team brass this season.
One day away from the start of the NLDS series featuring the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers, the Mets are formulating a plan to beat Clayton Kershaw and Zach Grienke. Collins told reporters Harvey will be fined but remains scheduled to start Game 3 at Citi Field next Monday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Royals will start hard-throwing youngster Yordano Ventura in Game 1 of the AL Divisional Series, regardless of whether Kansas City plays the Yankees or Astros on Thursday night. “I’m concerned about the guys that are here, and the guys that are here had a great workout”.
Shortly after David Wright spoke to reporters, Matt Harvey stepped to the podium for a brief statement where he simply said he “messed up”. If you don’t talk to Sandy Koufax or Bob Gibson or somebody like that, there’s really nobody else who’s on his level. In 189 innings, he struck out a total of 188 opponents and posted a 2.71 ERA.
Yasiel Puig is still “rusty” as he works his way back from a hamstring injury and the Dodgers are still evaluating whether he will be on their playoff roster.
All jokes aside, Harvey’s conspicuous absence was just the latest dramatic episode during his 3 1/2 seasons in New York – even though he sat out one of them while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He went 11-1 with a 1.22 ERA and four complete games, including three shutouts, in his final 17 starts. “All the times that Dwight had never let us down on the field”. The outcry from people about Harvey’s latest mistake goes back to the distrust that has been created from the innings situation and the growing fear that Harvey is going to leave the Mets as soon as he can in free agency.
Pitcher Matt Harvey heads to the locker room at the end of practice on Wednesday, October 7, 2015. I told everybody and apologized to everybody and told them it’s not going to happen again. I thought it was a good workout. The entire pitching staff took part in fielding practice around noon, before making their way to the outfield to shag fly balls.
