- Special thanks to @KofieWhy for writing and voicing a fantastic segment about his own Mets fandom and what Matt Harvey meant to him.
Check out his links here: beacons.ai/kofie
And thanks to @GiraffeNeckMarc and @StarkRavingSports Mike for taking (tax deductible) interviews at our AirBnB in NC.
Matt Harvey was on top of the baseball world before his 25th birthday. The Dark Knight led the Mets to their first NL Pennant in 15 years in 2015. He was out of Queens less than three years later. His fall was almost as rapid as his rise, and it was compounded by endless off the field controversy.

Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
The Dark Knight or Matt Harvey Dent?
ain't that the truth
Harvey
Degrom
Syndagaard
Only the Mets could screw that up
Wheeler and Matz (and big sexy) too
@@AndThatsBaseball my god you're right! How did I forget them lol. As a red sox fan, even I was excited to see what they would have done.
The Jets always suck
I am Forever grateful to Matt Harvey. He gave his arm and career for 2015
Seeing Harvey pitch his heart out in that game 5 gave me so much hope that was later dashed in the 9th. The electricity he brought only compared to Jacob deGrom in 2021, at least in my opinion.
Could make a video about the fall of everyone in the 2015 rotation honestly
I believed in him so much in that game. I would have left him in too. Shame where his Career went from there.
Mets fans having hope LOL
Welcome to being a met fan
@@AndThatsBaseball For real. All of them. Even Matz.
Giraffe neck doing cut away commentary like a seasoned vet is absolutely fantastic.
Great dude
yeah that was a great moment
this is NOT batman‼
Who said anything about batman? We're talking The Dark Knight
blue is NOT Brucerick Wayne
No, this is Patrick
The title picture had batman in it
It's Robin
"I'm going back out there. You're not pulling me. I'm going back out there." Broke my fucking heart.
Was at that World Series game in the nosebleeds. Even tho they lost in heartbreak like they always do I’ll never forget it. I truly thought I’d never see the Mets in a World Series in my life let alone win one maybe. I appreciate him and Noah for giving their all to the team. However my favorite pitcher on that team was far and away pre cy young DeGrom I just feel like he always pitched well in big moments. Also nice play in CF man lol
You know ball I'm a 99th percentile OAA CF
Recently found this channel and I was an instant fan. Feels like it falls right in the sweet spot somewhere between Foolish Baseball and Baseball Doesn’t Exist
Glad you’ve enjoyed!
Dang, my exact thoughts!
Fr tho
The Harvey's Better chant and that World Series start through 8 innings always give me goosebumps as a lifelong Mets fan. Great video! Even though watching the Duda "throw" to home felt like getting hit by a bus.
Good look man, nothing goes together quite like the mets and misery
Perfect day to drop this after the game last night
Marc lookin like a former superstar actor in a documentary in his later years w/that laid back stance... all that was a missing was a cig lol
0:55 That Degrom and Noah look 😭😭
deGrom later said he didn’t know what the hell he was thinking. Thor managed to rock it though.
As a Mets fan, this just brings back even more trauma, what could've been if he was pulled after that one batter in Game 5...
Dark Knight? More like Harvey “Two Face” Dent.
i swear as a mets STAN not many moments get me more hyped than 12:30
seeing him scream like that ALWAYS gives me chills
The guy’s named is Harvey but they called him The Dark Knight lmao
Game 1 of the 2015 NLCS is still the best pitching performance I've seen live. Never saw a baseball stadium walk out chanting one guys name.
Word i was there too that day! Sat in right field near the foul pole near where Murphy hit the Hr
Dark Knight is a great nickname for a pitcher. Great video on a player I wasn’t familiar with today!
One other thing:
A video ago, I mentioned how the 91 Brewers came back from 17 games to finish over .500.
Well the inverse, the most games over .500 in a season at one point by a team that ended with a losing record:
The 1905 Cleveland Naps (what the Guardians were called back then) went from 52-29 to an outright losing record after Nap Lajoie got blood poisoning while sliding into second base.
That’s falling off from having been 23 games over .500.
Dude is that Song Cry playing in the background? Subtle gold man. Made a similar beat before it got big used to work wit Blaze he got the idea from me but it’s all love man
Harvey has Aaron Rodgers energy..(+a few lines of coke)
They kinda look similar don’t they
well....the bloody nose thing was pretty obviously cocaine related so I dunno how heroic that was.
His downfall was pretty incredible to watch. I remember seeing him pumping 99mph in the 9th inning of a CG shutout back in 2013 or 2014 I believe in Atlanta. Was 100 degrees. Day game. Unhitable. But yeah, the combination of TOS, perhaps his workload and especially the drugs took their toll.
The main thing the drugs did imo is slow or mitigate any buildup he could’ve had after the TOS. If he was clean, eating right, working as hard as possible, maybe he gets back to 95-96 mph, but I don’t think he ever sits high 90s again.
@@AndThatsBaseballso difficult to throw high 90’s naturally that it doesn’t matter what a player does… they won’t be able to throw it long term…. Just not possible for the human body. Now with PEDS it is….
@@AndThatsBaseball Does he even get TOS if he is not partying and doing drugs? I believe his lack of fitness took its toll and led to TOS and then when he came back he had nothing underpinning his future performance. Not mentally or physically to come back from that surgery.
I completely forgot about the back to back years where the Mets chocked away division leads to the Phillies...thanks
Mets fans tend to focus on the positive rather than getting hung up on past failures, that’s why most people don’t even remember 2007/08
I remember when he was consistently throwing 101-102MPH
This is what I love about New York fans. They practically demand that this kid pitch way beyond the recommended number of innings, then boo the hell out of him when he damages his arm and can no longer perform. deGromm and Syndergaard are other examples. This city sucks so hard. Is it any wonder no one wants to play here?
That 2015 World Series was hard for my family. Half my family from KC and half from NYC queens sooooooooo yeah, it was tense and a ton of trash talk.
Must’ve been a fun thanksgiving that followed
@@AndThatsBaseball Really was drunk uncles and all. Love the videos man.
Babe, wake up, And That's Baseball just dropped a new banger
Yup, first try, clean drop, zero copyright concerns
Why are so many baseball YT channel creators Mets fans???? I guess when your team is a constant disappointment, you gotta find another way to love the game 😂
Fun Fact- In 2009, I get home from a College practice and met a young Matt Harvey at my mailbox.
Tired of another party being thrown at my house, we talked baseball a bit and upcoming draft for both of us, gave him my room for the night…then left and stayed at my girlfriends.
This was a VERY different Matt Harvey. He was the childhood friend of my nerd roommate who was all-in on North Carolina. Not the future sex symbol ace of NY. Was not surprised to hear that cocaine might’ve played a role ha. He gave NY his ALL…tho, so for that I admire him. Hope he liked my bed.
This reeks of bullshit
Fan pressure into pitching which effectively ended his career, just to be boo'd for not being as good as he used to is why I don't think Muts fans deserve happiness, and I'm glad their franchise is dog ass. Terrible people. No city in sports makes players more depressed, more afraid, or as "Any team but them"" than both NY teams.
Where are you from
another banger, loved bringing in kofie and marc.
Awesome dudes to work with
Was that a cheeky halo 1 drum run I heard? Sheesh. 2015 Harvey & halo 1 soundtrack?? My nostalgia is off the charts today
Harvey, degrom, syndegarrd, wheeler, Matz, AND BIG SEXY!! no championships.
Guy gave himself the nickname, shouldn't be used, ever... even for clicks.
Throathic outlet syndrome is hard core. The surgery is crazy. Props to anyone who even tries to pitch past that.
Injury played a part, but I believe his party life and maturity is what did him in.
The video says thoracic outlet syndrome did him in, but if the man took care of his body better does he even have that issue? Yes, drugs and his party life ruined his career, no matter how much people want to claim it was injuries.
He had bad mechanics. Likely bad teaches he picked up from his college days.
Wesley’s Theory 🔥
Definitely going to miss The Dark Knight. Thanks ATB!
first dont care, good vid blud🗣️
Mets lost the series when they started calling him the dark knight. Lame
matt harvey hasnt been relevant for years now. there was zero reason anyone called him the dark knight
this is the best baseball channel simply for using keem beats for the background
The poster boy for not coming back from tommy John too soon
Being a Mets fan is tough
-Braves fan
Not as tough as being a Cubs fan outside of 2016. Sure theyve won in the past decade but thats still 1 title in 114 years.
If only manager Terry Collins had not given in to Matt Harvey’s plea to let him stay in the game against the Royals in that World Series game…
Didnt the Mets have a lead in the 4 games they lost and blew them all as I recall?
Should have never been left in, ended his career
The thing about Matt Harvey is fans hold these players up to standards no one could live up to. The fans make these players, who after all of are just guys like any other, into statues. Because from the right distance a statue is perfect and invincible, which is what fans demand their favorite players be. They put them on that pedestal because guys like Matt did for a living something that most people would sacrifice everything for just to do for one at bat. And they put them on that pedestal because that means they get to tear them down, and from their heights the fall is so far, and so destructive, and there's nothing left but rubble, then gloat and smugly ask "What Went Wrong?"
The answer is us. Every time.
No it's not. This is so bogus it's not funny. You don't have to live up to any ridiculous standards to not do lines of coke in the locker room. You don't have live up to any standards to not facilitate murdering someone with opioids. New York didn't do anything to him, he was just always an asshole that pitched pretty well
Flipping the script in the middle of the vid was confusing and frustrating 😑
You’d hate Christopher Nolan’s Memento
Matt Harvey will always be The Dark Knight...💪💪💪
You’re a legend for using Song Cry in the background
Tell me why for a sec I thought that was Justin Verlander on the thumbnail
They don’t look too dissimilar
what worse, being a Mariners fan or a Mets fan?
Obviously mariners . Mets fans get to sniff a title once in a while
Mariners by far, Mets have at least won a couple titles. Both have habits of perpetual underachieving though.
rangers were big in 2013??
Must have run out of coke
WESLEYS THEORY I HEARD THAT
Coke Knight.
The Metsiest Mets thing ever is to take any joy out of my adopted hometown team winning the WS.
I am a dye-in-the-wool-life-long Mets fan who lives in...Kansas City...
I adopted the Royals as my hometown team when I moved to Kansas City.
What could possibly go wrong?
If the Mets didn't win the 2015 World Series, it was going to be what every year since has been: dropping shoes and what-ifs. If the Royals didn't win, it would have been a cosmic-level injustice.
--
After the 2014 WS, Royals fans, myself included, wanted a parade for the AL Champs that just LOST the WS because of what they accomplished and gave to KC. The energy coming off of 2014 was Championship-or-Bust, but there was no trace of the "other shoe-itis" that plagues Mets fans. In my opinion, the Royals were never going to be denied the Crown in 2015. It didn't matter what stood in their way.
If the Mets won Game 5, there is a legitimate argument for Harvey being in the discussion for 2015 WS MVP--even if the Royals still went on to win.
YOOOO! I remember watching the nose bleed game live and it was so badass legendary but now I get the feeling that it was cus he was ripping lines in the bathroom lol 🤦🏻♂️ 🥺we can never have something nice
Lol Mets
3:43 Mets DeGroming before DeGrom was even a Major League player lol
Bumgarner in 2014 World Series was more impressive than Harvey in 2015 world series.
Could have been great. Mets made a huge mistake riding him so hard in the playoffs. They should have thought about the future and shut him down regardless of the playoff outcome. Like the Nationals did with Strasburg early in his career.
I had Harvey poster on my wall in 2015 and I got to meet him that year when he stopped by my job at serendipity. He was so chill when I asked him for a photo, he even flamed me for being a met fan but I was wearing a redsox hat at the time. I threw that shit away the first chance I got lol
Mets fans would say "Happy Harvey Day" when Harvey would start for the Mets, especially at Citi Field.
Now knowing about his opioid addiction, that bloody nose game hits different 🤷🏻♂️
When I first saw Harvey pitch I called it right from the get go that he would be Mark Prior 2.0 and I was right.
I still love him
The baseball gods don't like it when you pose naked in a magazine
How the hell do you pitch in the Majors for 10 years and still get a job right after retirement?! 😂😂
Anyone know what song Mr. And that’s baseball used for the Kevin Mitchell 1989 highlight clip part??
Sounded like a rock music of some sort but I can’t find it 😭
Politically Incorrect instrumental from The Simpsons
@@AndThatsBaseball thank you my man love the videos as well I’ve been on a binge and subscribed immediately 👌🏼👌🏼
@@justsomeguywithastache7558 Glad you enjoy!
@@AndThatsBaseball yessir 🫡
This is a high quality video! Nice job.
Im gonna have to call a rain check on dinner honey, ATB just dropped a new video
The wife can wait
Your videos r awesome bro
I’m sure your channel is gonna grow big
The bloody nose was iconic… until we found out what caused it 😩
Can I ask what’s the instrumental in the background?
I contend his career ending injury was a broken heart.
The padme amidala of mlb
Man those few years when he was a beast he was so fun to watch.
What made matt Harvey the dark knight....cocaine
That halo music at 8:15 tho
Crazy y’all still have this problem till this day 😂
That bloody nose was because of his coke addiction
Another great vid 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed!
I still can't believe he pitched for the O's.
That bloody moss was due to coke use right?
If Harvey never gets hurt and hooked on drugs 😢
Posted during the Yankees-Mets series. I swear you did that on purpose.
Giving me too much credit, I stop procrastinating and grind editing for a few days and upload whenever it’s done
@@AndThatsBaseball LOL. At least you admit it. No worries about uploads though, keep up the great work and we’ll always tune in!
Song Cry is so fitting for the video excellent choice
Had to have some Jay in a video largely about NY
It makes me so happy that the Mets have the highest salary in baseball and they’re under 500. Yea the NL east is though with the Braves and Phillies but it’s still kind of embarrassing.
Did Qualcomm help?
🔥 video
Damn, the joker got away
That high school footage is against my team 😂. He had an off game and still struck out 17. Wasn’t fun
Facing high 90s Matt Harvey after a calculus exam must’ve been a brutal day
@@AndThatsBaseball Haha, yes it was! To add a bit more to it, I was the opposing pitcher. I pitched a one-hitter and we lost 1-0. Matt destroyed a triple off me (their high school field was massive, would have been a HR pretty much anywhere else). That team was stacked, his teammate Jesse Hahn was no slouch either (I think he's currently a free agent?). Anyway, my one at bat against Harvey, his fastballs were a blur, I swung at a curve that I thought was at my hip height but went in the dirt. I went to Detroit two years ago, part of a baseball road trip, they played Baltimore who Matt was playing with at the time. We caught up and he remembered me as the hothead pitcher with rec specs hahaha
@@trevormaymusic with that performance, you are one of the top 2 Trevor May's to ever pitch a baseball
@@AndThatsBaseball 🤣 you know it!
All 3 pitcher's were busts!
Um who cares?
I played against Hosmer and Harvey who were on the same summer team in high school. Forgot that Hosmer doubled off him in the 9th in that World Series.
Playing a round of golf after many rounds at the bar is kinda legendary, can’t lie. 😂 definitely a major tool, though.
Your career is over a long time ago
May 29 I watched Matt Harvey pitch against my white Sox in the 2nd game of the 7 inning double header. I was chirping the Mets manager saying Harvey will give up a bomb to billy Hamilton. I went crazy when billy hit one out. That’s my lasting memory of Matt Harvey.
