Matt Harvey needs to know that if he eventually stops pitching for the Mets this season because of an arbitrary innings limit in his first season back from Tommy John surgery, then he will be remembered around here, for as long as he pitches around here, as the star Mets pitcher who quit on his stool because that’s what his agent told him to do.
On Saturday Harvey really only wanted to talk about his next start on Tuesday against the Nationals, sounding a bit in Miami like Bill Belichick on one of those weeks where he keeps repeating that he only wants to talk about the Patriots’ next opponent.
