Words matter. These are the best Matt Harvey Quotes, and they’re great for sharing with your friends.
I’m here to win. I’m here to play, and who I hang out with is my choice.
I love the idea of coming into a struggling franchise and seeing if I can help them win. First off, I hate to lose. At anything. Secondly, who doesn’t want to be the guy to help turn something around?
That’s obviously not easy. I don’t want to leave the Mets; I don’t want to not play in New York. It’s not at all that I want to leave, but that’s the business.
I will never apologize for having a life.
Dirty martinis and music – that’s the big motto in our family. We get the booze going, and the music starts playing. Always old-school hip-hop. Jay-Z. Tribe Called Quest. The Pharcyde. My parents love that stuff.
This day and age, you look at baseball as a whole, and not just the pitchers’ side of it. You have the weight programs, you have the technology, and as a pitcher, you need to keep up.
From the things I’ve read, I think I’ve been portrayed in kind of a way that makes me look like I don’t put an effort into winning. I think that’s completely the wrong portrayal of the person I am.
For me, it’s a feel thing; it’s a mechanical thing.
I have a 48-hour rule. No drinking two days before a start. But those other days? Yes, I’m gonna go out. If I was locked up in my house all week, I don’t know what I’d be like on the baseball field.
I just have to be better. There’s not much else to say.
It’s hard going out there and not doing what I can to help this team win.
I think a lot of women would be impressed by my shoe collection.
When you work so much in between starts, you realize how long the season is. It’s exciting to look at and be a part of, obviously. It’s almost like a challenge, to see how, from start to start, things may feel a little differently.
When I’m out there on the mound, I’m fighting for my teammates, fighting for the ability to stay in the game for a long time. It’s war. I see the hitter – I think about what I want to do, but it’s a very quick process. Then I attack. It’s almost primal.
The last thing I ever want to do is not be here with my team.
I like to dominate 100 percent. I don’t want to just beat you – I want to wear you down.
Nobody knows the hard work that goes in the morning before I do anything.
The only thing I can do is move forward and try to put myself in the best position to help this team win, and whatever decisions they make, I will just have to deal with it.
There’s not one part of me that wants to go crazy and do anything out of the ordinary, but it would be nice to do something and not have it spread all over the place. But that’s the world we live in now, and you either have to accept it or figure it out – or become a villain, I guess.
As a public figure, you deserve to be treated fairly.
When people are getting on me for being at a Ranger game at 7 o’clock at night, they don’t see what I’ve done between yoga, Pilates, workout, thrown, ran, done all my work by 5 o’clock, ate, and then I went to the game. Nobody is seeing that. Nobody is commenting on that.
I can understand how people who don’t really follow baseball can look at ‘dead arm’ and think the absolute worst. Basically, a dead arm is when your arm kind of feels a little heavy, kind of feels weak, and basically, it’s just muscular fatigue.
Baseball is my job, and I love it, but it can’t be the only thing I’ve got going on.
I think there’s a lot of learning process in figuring out what things you want to do and shouldn’t do. Maturing in that way is something that comes with experience and time.
You give a press conference, and they’ll pick one word, they’ll pick two words. The media is still out to write what they want to write.
