Well this is weird…The NY Post caught up with Terry Collins.

“There was a time I addressed an off-the-field issue with one of the other guys on the team and his statement was, ‘Well, I’m not doing what Matt Harvey is doing.’ I said, ‘This isn’t about Matt Harvey, this is about you.’ I tried to get off that subject as fast as I could. Was there knowledge in the clubhouse? Without question.”

Was there knowledge in the clubhouse?  Without question.

Seems like a lot of people felt something was going on.

…

Fun Facts:  Sandy Alderson ran the Mets when Harvey was on the team.  Billy Eppler ran the Angels when Harvey was on the team.

Remember this?

Mets sent security officers to Matt Harvey’s home after his no-show

Now take a look at today’s testimony.

So….is Matt misremembering?  Maybe someone DID ask? Or maybe we need to legally parse “really asked”

Or maybe nobody asked.  Wouldn’t you ask?  The guy seemed to be enjoying the NYC nightlife, and the Mets were worried enough to send security to his house.  It doesn’t seem to me to be a crazy thing to ask.

He had a bloody nose on the mound at least twice before the security incident.  Nobody thought to ask?  How many other incidents of pitchers with bloody noses do you remember?  Nobody thought to ask?  Or maybe nobody thought to “really ask.”

Anyway, Sandy Alderson was in charge of the Mets at that time.  Billy Eppler was in charge of the 2019 Angels.

Who knew what and when did they know it?

Updates…..

A trusted source (really, no schtick) reminds me of an occurrence of Ervin Santana pitching with a bloody nose in 2011 (for Anaheim).

A different trusted source made sure I saw this.

I personally trust Adam implicitly.

Hey big thanks to @koyote19 on twitter for sending over this pic.. I remember that day and it feels like not that long ago. 34 years? Wow.

A very serious situation here.

NEWS: Defense atty says Matt Harvey, who will be in court tomorrow, got text from Tyler Skaggs in 2019 asking for drugs so he could pitch “loosey goosey.”
