The Dark Knight Of Anaheim of Los Angeles (TDKOALA) continues his journey back to the Hall of Fame with the news that he will be the Angels #2 Starter.
The Angels are very excited about the not-so-young pitcher – our hero is about to turn THIRTY next week, and he’s running about 150 wins and three CYA behind The Original Seaver so he is going to need to step on the gas.
Good news though for Matty Baseball..
Angel Stadium was the only ballpark in the past five seasons to have a park factor that ranked among the top-10 most pitching friendly in every category; it was even a top-10 venue for strikeouts (1.036 factor, 10th). It was slightly tougher on left- than right-handed hitters in terms of hits, extra-base hits and home runs as well, perhaps a result of its 18-foot-high fence in right and right-center field.

So hopefully a lot of those 385 foot fly balls Matt likes to throw will stay in the park as TDKOALA wins the Cy Young and Mets fans everywhere get irate and start boycotts.
Now, before you @ me with WHO CARES – Matt Harvey content is always the top read thing on the site. YOU care. You love Matt even if he doesn’t love us.
