Sitting watching an army brass performance. Add this to the list of things I’d never thought I’d rather do than watch Matt Harvey pitch. It’s close but it makes the list. #Birdland pic.twitter.com/d0Cmah1va5

Happy Harvey Day Muchachas….The Dark Knight Has Returned (to Buffalo!) because the Orioles have NOOOOOOOOOBBBBBBOOOOODY so what the hay, it’s Harvey Day!
In the first, Matt gets the first two hitters before giving up a single. Let’s see what kind of stuff Matt has today.
Jusssssst a bit outside.
But Matt gets out of the inning and the umpires are like…..yeah man, we know YOU’RE not cheating. You’re good.
On to the second
The count is 3 and 2 to George Springer. You remember Springer, he was one of the Free Agents the Stupid Cheap Cohens passed on. The pitch….
…oh no…
But that’s all the damage, and we’re onto the 3d down 1-0.
I think Matt got two quick outs but my wife started taking to me and I am pulling this game in with rabbit ears and duct tape as it is…..but I did see Vlad take TDK deep.
In the 4th, two outs, then a triple. Matt gets a ground ball to third and ERROR and look at Matt’s face.
End of 4 and it’s 3-1 Buffalo Jays.
I didn’t see the 5th because that’s when I learned the Mets black jerseys are returning in July, but it was a 1-2-3 for TDK.
And a rare 6th inning appearance for Matt. Um, Bruce Hyde, are you insane?
Matt gets an out before walking a batter which prompts a visit from a mysterious bearded man.
Matt takes in the advice…gets a pop-up….and then Bruce Hyde decides not to push his luck!
The final line, 5.2ip, 6 hits, 3 runs all earned, a walk and 2 Ks.
For the Orioles without John Means, that’s a great start which means…
MATT HARVEY WILL RETURN
