Peter Gammons: Matt Harvey was The Guy

Posted Nov 3, 2015
When it came to the start that could postpone winter, the start the Mets could not lose, Matt Harvey walked to the mound like Justin Verlander, John Smoltz or Pedro Martinez, beyond doubt, above frustration. When he finished the eighth inning in a blaze and with a 2-0 lead, it was not his arm or his innings that did in the Mets, it was that Matt Harvey was the guy, the man who wanted to do it himself.
