Courage and conviction.
Those are the two passwords to success Mickey Callaway and Dave Eiland are looking for from their pitchers. Show those characteristics and you will go a long way in the Mets’ rotation.
That is the challenge facing Matt Harvey on Tuesday night, when he makes one of the more important starts of his career.
Callaway and Eiland want to see Harvey establish his fastball early, throw strikes and let his talent play. That’s what they wanted to see from Zack Wheeler, but Wheeler is still not there, and that is why he is in Las Vegas.
