In this week's MetsBlog Q&Acast, I talk with Press Box Revolution author Rich Coutinho, who was at Citi Field covering the Mets during the Matt Harvey fiasco, about... 1) The reaction from Harvey's teammates, specially Jay Bruce and Jose Reyes... 2) The team's recent success, and if it's being overshadowed by injury and scandal... 3) The way Harvey and the team should handle the situation going forward... 4) How Harvey can easily turn himself from villain back to hero in less than two weeks... 5) Bruce as team leader, which was unimaginable a few months ago...

The Dark Knight rises and the Dark Knight falls. On Saturday, the New York Mets scratched right-hander Matt Harvey from Sunday’s game against the Miami Marlins for an undisclosed violation of team rules. “We are going to keep it in house, the way it’s supposed to be,” New York Mets manager Terry Collins said, as quoted by the Guardian. “We hope to put it behind us and move forward.” Harvey, the hard-throwing starting pitcher, had been sent home, scratched from his scheduled start and replaced by left-hander Adam Wilk who was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The Mets have won six of their last nine games. However, every day during that time, fans and media have been bogged down in some sort of off-field controversy or injury news. For instance, to end April, the Mets took two of three from the Nationals, but I spent the next few days only being asked about Noah Syndergaard's injury.
