Let’s start at the end. Uh oh, why is Matt Harvey talking to reporters and looking sad?
As I mentioned earlier, I had a party last night so I wasn’t able to live blog Harvey Day….and I am finding this morning that I am unable to scrape together as much video as I had hoped. Thus, I cannot give this the full usual MH Recap Treatment, but let me see what I can do.
In the first, Daniel Murphy steps in against TDK…usually that does not go well for Matty Baseball
Sit down Son!
That was an 11-pitch at-bat, ending in Matt Harvey striking out his old teammate, Daniel Murphy.

The Dark Knight has returned.
Let’s skip ahead to the 4th inning where MH seems to be cruising…we really have no choice since I have no clips…play along….
57 pitches, 3 scoreless frames….looking good Batman. But then, two guys got on….and as we have seen, TDK does not react well to adversity…..
Uh oh….that’s not looking too good……
Whew. That’s a swing and a miss. Sit down son. Normally this is where I’d insert a picture of MH walking to the dugout, I like those, so let me use one from a previous game. Play along. I’m trying here.
Yeah probably something like that.
I don’t know who The Dickballers are but they are not happy

In the 5th….
Sit down son and…
Sit down son. The Dark Knight’s got this.
Matt was done after six, Murph had ran up his pitch count in the first but with a lead and six shutout innings, surely The Real Deal was on his way to his deGrom-like 8th win……
Three straight quality starts for @MattHarvey33. 👊#RedsCountry pic.twitter.com/he3G6h7DcU

OH NO The bullpen blew it! Reds LOSE. Cubs win 3-2. Go Cubs Go! How did Matt feel about this..
The Dark Knight is Back! Coming to a stadium near you in 2019. Unless you live in Queens, then it’s going to be 8 miles from you.
Not my most hilarious effort, but hey sometimes even I need a night of burritos and hanging with friends.
