Someone’s gotta pitch, and Matt Harvey is somebody and the Orioles are like sure….why not…..
Harvey Days is filmed before a live studio audience.
The Orioles were up for like an hour in the top of the 1st, but finally it was Bat-Time and TDK had a 4 run lead before he even started. What could go wrong?
Jose Altuve is up but the garbage can is broken and SIT DOWN SON.
And here’s Brantley. You know what you can do Brantley? You can SIT DOWN SON.
It’s a 1-2-3 first for TDK and we’re on to the second!
In the second? Another 1-2-3. This is weird. Matt is perfect through two!
And…another 1-2-3! Come on Matt, how am I going to make fun of you?
Matt’s perfect game ends after 10 batters with a single….
…and you guys know what happens when Matt lets a runner on base, right? It’s another single! Look at Matt’s face. He knows doctor…he knows.
And then ANOTHER single…4-1 now…
And now a man in an Orioles t-shirt wants to tell Matt something…
I’m pretty sure that’s not a uniform @MLB, but hey it’s your rulebook not mine. The advice works for one out but then Matt gives up ANOTHER single and it’s 4-2. Hey, at least none of that was a 500 foot home run right?
And Matt gets out of it. 4-2 after 4.
In the 5th…a walk…and Brandon Hyde has finally learned! He is asking Scotty how much time he needs to fix the engines…Scotty needs 5 minutes.
So Hyde sends the MAN CLEARLY NOT IN UNIFORM MLB to kill som time.
But nobody is ready somehow – Hyde, have you not been at Matt’s stats, this is the 3rd time through the order. Jim Palmer has been warning about this on TV for an hour. Even Matt knows…
And Matt walks the next guy….
And here comes Hyde.
And it’s a long sad walk to the dugout for The Dark Knight.
It’s time for Matt and I to go to bed (separately).
4 and a third. Only 2 runs, both earned. 4 hits, 2 walks, 4 Ks.
The line score looks better than the reality. What have I always said about Modern Harvey? He is fine until he isn’t. You saw that tonight.
But good news Bat-fans….SOMEONE has to pitch, and sometimes someone is Matt Harvey.
