Those pesky Orioles snuck a Harvey Day on us (is THAT what TBD means?) , and the Tampa TV didn’t show much for him in the pregame so all of a sudden we’re in the middle of the first batter and here’s Matt!
With two out a walk, but Matt has this…
…and we’re onto the second. Look at the bottom right of the screen grab below. See those two orange diamonds? That’s not good.
Now you guys read these Matt Harvey posts. What do you think is about to happen?
3-0 Rays. Then my mom called. Mom, I am trying to blog about Matt Harvey.
Let’s see if I can do this from memory. Matt follows up the home run by giving up a double. The next guy hits the ball 75 feet but it stays fair AND the runner advances.
It’s first and third and…..what do you think is going to happen?
6-0 Rays. And then the next guy, on Matt’s 133rd pitch of the inning (approximately) gets the 7th hit of the inning (real number) and that’s it for TDK and he knows it.
The Orioles now know what the Mets, Reds, Angels, A’s (minors), Royals and all followers of my blog know – he’s fine until he isn’t. This was all predictable tonight from the second there were two on and none out.
1.2 IP, SEVEN HITS, 6 runs all earned, a walk, a strikeout, and a climbing ERA of 5.93
For me, my favorite kind of Matt Harvey start – fast and awful.
