IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 01:49 PM

Matz takes the bump tonight. I'm laying 3-2 odds we'll hear tales of his admiration for the character Derek Jeter. FIGHT IT, STEVE!! [fimg=500:65e6vb3z]http://mediadownloads.mlb.com/mlbam/2015/06/29/images/mlbf_207560583_th_45.jpg[/fimg:65e6vb3z]

Go get 'em Stevie! Do it for your potty-mouthed grandpa!

Are you in a time warp or living in the past?

I went and used the loo and returned to realize the date was wrong was wrong.

I'm Stephen Matz, and I'm not getting it done. Mets are down 4-0 after an Alex Rodriguez two-run single. Six straight Yankees have reached beis. I blame Edgy who can't operate a calendar.

Matz continuing his not good pitching trend this spring: 4 runs on 7 hits plus 2 walks (1 K) with just one out in the 2nd

Hey, Grandy just bounced one down the third-base line to beat the shift for a double. I mean, It's not going to dig them out of a 5-0 hole, but it HAS LONG-TERM IMPLICATIONS!

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 06:36 PM Re: IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

CESPEDES beats the shift TOO! If Duda pulls it off, it'll be a rare trifecta.

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 06:45 PM Re: IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

Cespedes steals third with two outs and the team down by five. Yoenis being Yoenis. We may hear a lot of that.

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 07:05 PM Re: IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

Cespedes just fouled a Chapman pitch off his foot.

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 07:06 PM Re: IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

And he doubles home Granderson! It's 5-2!!

Edgy MD Mar 22 2016 07:17 PM Re: IXTG : Mets at Yankees in Tampa, 3/22

I'm going it solo!!

LJ Mazzilli batting with a chance to tie it up.

Flew out to deep left.

Mayors Trophy in flames.

The good news: 12 hits (3 by Cespedes, 2 each Grandy & deAza) and were mostly off of the NYY 'A-list' hurlers: Severino, Chapman, Miller, Bettances (plus 3 total off whoever Olson & Moreno are). But, in keeping with this spring's pattern, 10 of the 12 were singles. Matz wound up going four innings and was fine except for the 5-spot in the 2nd. So other than that Mrs. Lincoln ...

I'm getting concerned about Matz. Has he had one decent performance this Spring? When this stuff happens, it can be one of two things 1) He overthrowing, and his stuff is flattening out, or 2) He's tipping his pitches. Both are correctable, but if this keeps up, he could spend the early part of the season in the minors. Later
