some lines that really grabbed me: No one's going to want to sign a 35 year old pitcher who needs a fourth shoulder surgery that will only give him a 17% chance of making it through another 162-game season. - harvey laying out all the numbers, about to meet his match, a man obsessed with odds and stats. PERFECT
The lip on this kid. - do I even need to explain? lippy mike forever and always
Harvey’s ignoring him now. Maybe he thinks Mike's lying. He definitely didn't dress to impress. Maybe ditching the Mets-issued windbreaker hadn’t been his best move, but he hadn’t wanted to scare the guy off before they even started. It's not like showing up in a suit would've gone any better... - you're telling me mike PLANNED this run-in?? diabolical and delicious
an amazing first chapter, friend. absolutely vibrating with excitement to see what happens next
Mike IS diabolical! And I love this for him (and, by extension, Harvey). Also, omg, I nearly deleted/rewrote that stats line so many times so I'm glad I left it alone!!
