Mets' Matt Harvey snaps at reporter for 'bull—' question
After a rough stretch of starts, New York Mets ace Matt Harvey threw a scoreless outing on Tuesday and picked up his seventh win of the season, but he was still unhappy after the game.
When asked by a reporter in a post-game interview if he considered his season at a crisis point after previously losing three out of four starts in which he posted a 7.20 ERA, Harvey snapped, replying, "I'm not answering that bull—," according to the New York Post.
While manager Terry Collins said that the 26-year-old right-hander has not been very happy lately, Harvey maintains that he didn't approach his start Tuesday against the Blue Jays with fury.
"It's part of baseball," Harvey said of his recent poor outings. "You've got to stay positive and go out and work as hard as you can to fix things and there are going to be adjustments throughout your career and hopefully it's a long one, so figuring out how to stay out there and get people out is part of baseball."
