Matt Harvey is having a rough go of it.
The New York Mets pitcher did not talk with the media on Tuesday after his first bullpen appearance of the season. On Wednesday, he declined to speak with reporters again and even threw in a curse word for good measure.
Matt Harvey laughed audibly when approached by reporters today seeking comment about his bullpen debut. "No chance. Zero chance," he said.
Harvey was asked why. "I have nothing to say to you guys," he said.
He was asked why not. "I dont [expletive] want to," Harvey replied.

Harvey has always had a bit of an edge (and an affinity for the middle finger), so this sort of unprofessional behavior is not surprising. The 29-year-old pitcher is set to be a free agent after the season. He’s not exactly giving suitors reassurance about his ability to handle adversity.
