Wow is it Harvey Day again? You know the drill…let’s look at the numbers…
Matt hit the leadoff guy in the socks…
…first half Matt Harvey would melt down. But this is Second Half Matt Harvey, and he knows there are lots of fun places where a young-ish man can find stuff to do in Tampa.
And Second Half Matt Harvey wasn’t fazed at all. It’s a 1-2-3-4 for TDK and our first “Matt Harvey walks back to the dugout” shot of the night.
On to the second….and you can sit down son.
And you know what you can do….you can sit down too son.
Look at those swing and misses!!! And Matt walks back to the dugout after dusting your sorry arse.
On to the third….and you can sit down too….
Here’s what it looks like coming in….
And this is you sitting down.
And Matt has a no-no through three with five strikeouts.
In the 4th….well, a walk, an infield hit, a triple and suddenly it’s 2-0 with a man on third!
Sit down son!
And then a comebacker to the mound!
You’re out! A flyout ends the inning, and all said not too bad.
On to the 5th and here comes the pitch….
Uh oh…
…oh no…
Boy this post is getting long. Brandon Lowe, the best power hitter on the planet, steps in and…
Yikes. That’s his 27th which is more than 25 I believe.
He pitched better than the line looked, but Brandon Hyde has finally learned to get Matt out of there. I think Matt deserved better tonight. Oh well.
4.2 5 runs (I think someone got on base which is what led to the pitching change, but my wife called me in the middle of it), 5 hits, 6 Ks and those pesky two home runs. Don’t sign with the Yankees Matt, your stuff won’t stay in FNYS. You need a nice giant ballpark. Ever been to St. Louis?
