Let’s look at how movies work.
First we build up the hero.
In the middle act, we put the hero in jeopardy. Sometimes the hero lets his fans down. Sometimes the fans even turn on the hero.
And in the final act….the hero comes back from adversity and defeats the bad guys.
This is the biggest game of Matt’s career, and the crowd is going to be the most hyped it has EVER been at Citi Field.
This is the grand stage Matt. Tonight you get to be the hero again. Go out there, throw zeros and Ks, and maybe you lose your control on one pitch. It happens.
Be the hero Gotham needs. Because sometimes people need to have their faith rewarded.
