NFT: Where is Matt Harvey?

Hopefully much smaller ones.

is going to run with this like everything Harvey

He's a big boy. He can handle it. It will be amusing when he's asked about it and he gets pissy.

For a guy who claims to idolize Jeter, he should really study how Jeter operated off the field. He's doing it wrong. Jeter was a Navy SEAL. Nobody ever saw him do anything until the Gift Baskets story broke.

and he should have been at practice, but it's probably not as big a deal as the media will make it.

You mean HARRRRRRRRRVY, Harvy. Harvy is a nice name.

He's that good.

BUT..

He's f*cking it all up.

much ado

How the rest of the players and coaches managed to avoid being late due to traffic.

Why shouldn't they run with it?? The other 24 guys (and coaching staff) managed to make it on time...

he'll be back soon.

Run downstairs and tell Harvey to come back. Hey Harvey! Oh Harvey!

The guy who is all about team, the players player you mean. What a fucking joke. I wish him well, but do you think he could have waited until the playoffs are done with for the Yanks, which will probably be one fucking game anyway!

his chances of having a good start in Game 3? If not, who cares?

..

he wasn't found lying in a ditch in a pool of his own vomit. He's way too cool for that.

Talk about going from hero to zero.....

The dude doesn't get it.

I'm calling the PC police on you. CC is a HERO for going on a bender at the end of the regular season missing the playoff's to go to rehab. A fucking HERO and don't you question it!

"seething"


Asked about his level of disappointment about Harvey's absence, captain David Wright said: "You have to ask Matt. I'm concerned about the guys that are here. The guys that are here, we had a great workout. You'll have to talk to Matt about that. We're rolling. We're clicking. Guys came in today, took care of business, did what they need to do to prepare for Friday. I'm happy with that. I thought it was a good workout. You can only worry about what you can control. We had everybody else here. I thought everything went great."

when they clinched.

Now he can't get out of his own way. Good couple of weeks for Hovvey.

I care about his performance on the field but this is becoming a pattern of Harvey bringing attention to himself. Not really fair to turn this into "blame the media" everyone else was on time. Wright is unhappy, Harvey screwed up.

Matt Harvey is here. Will make statement. Won't take questions.

"I screwed up," Matt Harvey said, without elaborating.

and then let his arm fall off for the next GM that stupidly signs him to that long, expensive contract.

I'm over Harvey. The dude will never learn and thinks he's bigger than the game.

I don't believe for a second that this is a stupid person. In fact just the opposite. I think Harvey is quite intelligent. But I just do not understand how he can continue to put himself in bad situations. He has to know and see how things like this and the dumb fiasco with the innings limit will be taken and perceived. I don't get him.

Anyone that thinks this is a media creation is absolutely out of their mind.
Anyone downplaying the significance of this, is completely missing the real issue.

Terry Collins says Matt Harvey will be fined. Still pitching Game 3 obviously. This isn't college football, TC notes.

I enjoy that he actually went with "stuck in traffic" though. Blue collar effort.

football last night. He couldn't get up in time this morning and was hung over. Surprised it's not picked up by the media yet.

Sure, sure. It was The Tunnel.

I don't disagree, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if Alderson listened to offers this winter. I'd rather get back a nice bounty and move him.

Judging by his ever increasing gut and triple chins, he must do this often.

fine to me when he struck out 11 Nationals over 6 innings in his last start.

I'm curious...what gives you the impression that he's "quite intelligent"? I don't get that at all. Now, I don't think he's stupid but nothing he has ever done or said makes me think that he's "quite intelligent." And quite intelligent people don't normally put themselves in bad situations over and over again.

Ha, the Fat Knight!

It doesn't really seem like that's the case though.

Why should he? If this is legit timing, then I see nothing wrong with it. It is no different than taking care of an illness. This is his life, which is a Hell of a lot larger than baseball.

see Colon, CC, Wells, etc.

But I have also noticed that Harvey's face seems to be getting chubbier, could be nothing.

I'm interested to see what comes of Harvey's career with the Mets or elsewhere. For now, he seems like a talented asshole.

He said David Wright was livid. Said the PC things but looked completely pissed off. Harvey met the press, just said he "screwed up".

He seems to be an asshole. The kind of guy you put up with while he is dominating, but would have a short leash with when the electric stuff becomes just ordinary.

Harvey must drink a lot, his face and body is getting noticeably heavier.

BTW, some guys are getting raises next season

these are all arb estimates

Let him prove his health and post a stellar campaign then move him after next season at peak value. He won't be signable when he gets to free agency anyway. Kill two birds with one stone by relieveing yourself of a chronic headache and getting max return for him.

Harvey had practice from 12:00PM to 2:00PM but called a full half hour before practice even started(11:30AM) to let the team know he was stuck in traffic and when he was told not to even bother coming, he came anyway and took full ownership for his mistake(something nobody predicted). Didn't make a single excuse. How many times has anything like this ever happened? Oh right... never. But because of the innings limits and him pitching past them anyway and fucking his agent over and all that make believe drama there is a correlation of course. LOL.

Should he have never missed a practice in his life? Yes. Do accidents happen? Yes. Does this have anything to do with innings limit drama? No.

it matters, so other people will too.

The only part of it that even remotely makes me think twice is that Wright was upset which I don't like.

However, when the Wright was seething comments came out, Harvey wasn't even there yet. According to Collins, Harvey apologized to his teammates, took full responsibility, and its now a non-issue. For all we know they are completely fine now. In fact they LIKELY are.

Well, we must be reading different reports because I read that at 12:30, Harvey didn't even realize what time it was. But it really doesn't matter anyway. Is it that big of a deal? Maybe not. Was it that big of a deal to David Wright and the rest of the team? You bet it was.

This has more to do with respect, commitment, and dedication than anything else. You may like his "grit" and "fire" he brings (as do I) but I believe that you can still be that type of person without being a raging asshole that walks and talks like he's bigger than the game while accomplishing absolutely nothing yet.

Yes, accidents happen. But people also learn from them. Harvey doesn't. And that bothers me. Abuse the hell out of his arm the next few years and then dump him. Preferably in Seattle.

The dog ate his homework. Matt Harvey missed a mandatory Mets workout on Tuesday, claiming in a message conveyed to pitching coach Dan Warthen he was stuck in tunnel traffic on his way to Citi Field. But whether it was traffic or just sheer negligence on the right-hander�s part is unclear: Harvey later arrived at the ballpark, and according to Terry Collins, told the manager: �I screwed up. I was doing some things, and the next thing I knew I looked up and it was 1:00.� Collins told The Post he never followed up with Harvey to ask if the traffic explanation, which the manager says Warthen had received around 11:45 a.m., was true. The Mets workout ran from noon to 2 p.m., and Harvey arrived around the time it concluded. He apologized to teammates before throwing in the bullpen.

Matt Harvey misses Mets workout, can�t get alibi straight - ( New Window )

Is it he called at 11:45 A.M. to let everyone know he was going to be late because he was stuck in traffic?

Or is it �I screwed up. I was doing some things, and the next thing I knew I looked up and it was 1:00�?

I think that's the point. Sounds like he isn't even being completely straight with them.

Everyone else had no problems getting there.

I don't know what it is with this guy. He's just allergic to making good decisions. All I view him as is a hired gun. No attachment to him whatsoever.

Harvey has "fall from grace" written all over him.

whatsoever of missing practices, being late, ect. this would certainly be alarming. However 162 games in a year and I don't know how many spring training games and practices, ect and this has never happened once. Been to every single one on time and was even early back in spring training to report.

Just seems people are just waiting to kill him. He should have been there no doubt but if this happened to anybody else on the team and it was their first offense it would be a non-issue. Hell, I think this is too but thats just me. All I care about is how Harvey looks next Monday.

Maybe he should get Parnell to throw away Harv's lunch.

I do think the Wright/Harvey dynamic bears some watching in the years to come. I certainly don't get the impression there's much of a relationship there at all.

isnt the first met to miss practice. Just happens at the wrong time esp after the while innings limit fiasco.
