The Mets planned to get him back on the mound at least once before the end of the season. But rather than risk a full start, they had him appear for just one inning against the Nationals. Then, it’s back to our regularly scheduled Harvey Day.
Even if for a moment, I have to say it was comforting to see Thor back out there. He had a great first inning after being away so long too. His velocity hit 98-99 on almost every pitch he threw. And while we didn’t get a chance to see any of his famous 101mph strikeouts, his performance gave us a little taste of a step in the right direction.
