Did they say what metric they were using?  I see Statcast has his xERA at 5.73, 1.4 runs below actual but 1.1 runs over FIP.   I’d tend to believe the former is a better stat than the latter.   

I might have missed it, but I don't think KB mentioned it specifically. I could be wrong though.

By the way, did anyone catch the awkward moment in Hyde’s postgame presser on Monday?   Paraphrasing:

Q: With this start, and all that Harvey has done for the club this year, do you think he has done enough to be part of the team’s plans for next year?

A: Uh….I think questions about contracts and stuff are, uh…really better for Mike Elias to answer.

Translation:  You’re kidding, right?

Who asked that question? "All that he's done for the team this year?" Lol

I don’t remember, but I don’t think it was one if the main guys.

It was Stan Charles.   Scroll forward to about 3:14: https://www.masnsports.com/videos/2021/07/brandon-hyde-thrilled-with-matt-harvey-start.html

My paraphrase wasn’t the best.   The question was more like “is Matt Harvey just a one year thing or have you seen enough from March until now that there’s something you like looking ahead?”

At least no one asked about playoffs. 

[NCRaven]

Not a big Fan of Stan.

Is that the Dark Knight in the night sky? Last two games:

2 Wins, 12 innings, 0 runs, 4 hits, 1 walk, 6 Ks.

For all his struggles this year, it’s an absolute pleasure to see him succeed now. 

[Frobby]

I’m amazed.   

[Hazmat]

I was really impressed with how he pitched tonight.  Live fastball, good movement on his pitches and darn good control.  

[LA2]

Just a fantasy at this point, but imagine if Harvey's second half turns out so well that the Orioles place the top two vote-getters for Comeback Player of the Year....

[PeteCanes]

Good for him.  Really nice to see him have some success 

[foxfield]

Well, this is why you signed the guy...couldnt be happier for him.  No idea if the rest and reset are anything real, but sure hope so.
