Besides life on his fastball and bite on his slider, you know what was missing with Matt Harvey?
Compassion.
That probably says more about Harvey’s now-done tenure with the Mets than just about anything.
There was no empathy from a teammate or member of management for Harvey’s plight. They wanted him to rebound and do well, but that was about the team and their own selfish desire for success.
Think about when CC Sabathia went through lost effectiveness on the field and a battle with alcohol off of it in the 2013-15 span.
