ing toward stopping at 180 IP
Matt Harvey said Saturday he's always considered 180 innings to be his limit for this year and would not answer questions about pitching in the postseason.
It would seem that Harvey is siding with agent Scott Boras, who does not want him to pitch past 180 innings. Part of the blame has to fall on the Mets, who had all season to figure out what they were going to do with Harvey. Regardless, it's baffling Harvey is willing to hang it up right in the middle of a pennant race. It's a huge 180 for Harvey after the right-hander convinced the Mets not to go to a six-man rotation earlier this year. It's a messy situation for the Mets and one that could keep happening with young players coming off Tommy John surgery.
