This just makes me profoundly depressed.

You can TELL he's still hurting, look at how he's double clutching and patting the ball just like he did last year when his shoulder exploded.

He clearly either needs to take a year away from the game and rehab and recover and then try and make a comeback, or retire. Because he's just not physically there anymore. And knowing what he used to be before the TOS and then his shoulder exploding this just makes me sad, man.

Harvey was too good for this crap to just completely ruin him like this.

Nobody comes back from TOS. Even the guys that return don't ever return to form.

I just said this on Twitter. He's not a fraction of the player he used to be and it has to be killing him on the inside. He was great his first couple of years. Life is cruel.

Harvey's fall hurts, he was the first sign of hope after some really dark years. He had a swagger about him this franchise desperately needed, and at his best he was arguably the best pitcher in baseball, this hurts a lot to see
His slider in 2013 was the first pitch I'd seen since Pedro's slider that I felt confident in saying that it was, simply, unhittable. The only way you could get one is through sheer luck and blindly swinging for a spot and hoping you made contact.

From that to this is just, really you can't help but pity the guy. He REALLY needs to take a couple years away and just get his body right. A lot of guys do it. It's nothing to be ashamed off.

But the Dark Knight died that ninth inning in Queens in 2015.

Really I fukking blame Terry Collins (and Sandy Alderson for rushing him back, but mostly Terry) for destroying him. :pacspit:

Took a relatively young, talented team and ran them into the fukking ground before we even got two years out of them.

Fan and media pressure had a lot to do with him returning early. They don't make the World Series without Matt. He had a hell of a run.

Yes, I am. Harvey was once great. Matz had a few games and Wheeler was never good.

Don't know how long you can let Harvey keep going. If the front office spent money on pitching in the offseason, you wouldn't be too worried. After Noah and Jacob, it's a crapshoot.
I think one of Matz and Wheeler will figure it out. Harvey is the real lost one. Wheeler looks like he cleaned up his mechanics so I'm optimistic about him but yea as a fan, it's annoying to be so unsure about em.

They didn't rush him back, he tried coming back in September of 14 and the team wouldn't allow him to
