Any and all gripes about the home opener are completely valid, though. Collins and Alderson both said a month ago that Harvey was likely to get that start.

Tickets sold out almost immediately after the announcement, including people spending hundreds on special ticket packages just to get that game.

So with a sellout already in hand, they of course changed it and now Harvey is pitching the second home game of the year to draw a bigger gate in a pretty blatant cash grab. I know it's a business, etc. and it's not like seeing deGrom in the home opener is a huge dropoff, but it's still a shit thing to do to the fans. It's some WWE-esque "card subject to change" bullshit.
