Words Do Mets’ Harvey More Harm Than Good

From the Mets greats of 30 years ago to his current manager and teammates, everybody seems to want to help Matt Harvey get out of his terrible slump.

Maybe that’s the problem; too many voices directed into the ear and mind of the only man who can truly help Harvey resurrect that quality pitcher the Mets count on.

That would involve taking Harvey away from all the noise, locking him and his cluttered mind away in the closet of the disabled list or formal demotion to the minors, there to work out his problems in mental peace.

For the good of both the player and the team, taking Harvey away from all the voices good and bad might be the best thing for him.

All this assumes Harvey doesn’t find his answer before a White Sox team whose .249 batting average sits in the lower half of the majors.

As MLB’s Joe Trezza pointed out Sunday, teams have a .241/.292/3.73 slash line the first time though the order against Harvey, but improve to .301/.326/.518 the second time through.

It would be the right thing to do, if only to get Harvey away from all the noise.
