NEW YORK -- When Matt Harvey takes the Citi Field mound Sunday night against the Yankees, he will be in a moment he relishes. There will be a national audience, the spotlight of ESPN and the chance to pitch against the team he grew up rooting for.
Harvey lives for opportunities like this. In April, he dominated the Yankees. But Sunday in Queens, he'll be a pitcher on a leash. There will be no pitch limit or innings limit, the Mets say. But Harvey will be limited.
He is in a nebulous place.
