I remember back when he came back from Tommy John and Boras and Harvey floated the idea of an innings cap for him that season and the fans went livid. Instead of doing the smart thing and listening to his agent, he went back on the innings cap to pander to the fans
I think he broke the record for IP after Tommy John including his playoff innings (216 UP total). And of course he ruined his arm and has never been the same since. Harvey was looking like a legend before he fukked his arm the second time.
I do think it's bs he couldn't swallow his pride and go to the minors. Plenty of players who had/have been great have done it
