Could Matt Harvey pitch well 3 games in a row? You’ll look!

Every 5 or 6 days The Dark Knight returns!  The Real Deal has had two solid starts in a row, totally ruining my Matt Harvey recaps.  Surely he won’t do well three games in a row.

In the 1st, a 1-2-3  with two strikeouts (sit down son!) for Matt…..

 

…and normally I’d show you him walking off the mound looking cool, but I didn’t get home in time to catch the feed, so let’s use an old photo.

 

In the second, ANOTHER 1-2-3? With a strikeout?  As Jim Halpert would say, “what is going on here?”

In the third, a single a popup and then another single.  Surely THIS will be the meltdown.  NOPE.  TDK gets out of it!

In the 4th, a one out double.  Surely THIS will be the meltdown!   He probably liked like this.

Nope. Got out of it.

Maybe in the 5th?  A single to lead off the inning usually leads to a 17 run inning for the opponent…but Matt gets one of his trademark DPs and gets out of it again.

The Best Pitcher In Baseball was back out there for the 6th and Holy Supermodels Batman, another 1-2-3 and here’s one of those walking off the mound looks that we all love.

Then a rare 7th inning appearance for Matt!  A leadoff flyout and Brandon Hyde thinks to himself…I should not push my luck. BUT LOOK HOW HAPPY MATT IS!!!

6 and a third, no runs, no walks, 6 hits and 5Ks (and no massive HRs).

Not my most fun recap – I don’t have a video of the game so I don’t have much to work with. Plus Matt is so good there’s nothing to make fun of.

Could Matt Harvey be the Pitcher Of The Month For July? He could, right?

This guy was “eh, we’re the Orioles” away from being DFAd and probably career over. What a resurrection.

 

I don’t know what cool part of Detroit is, but lock up your supermodels because THE DARK KNIGHT IS BACK BABY. My black Orioles jersey is looking like a good investment!

MATT HARVEY WILL RETURN
