Matz Just Ridiculous

From Kristie Ackert:

More bad news for the Mets: Steven Matz will not pitch Friday against the Phillies.

The lefthander experienced shoulder discomfort after Wednesday's bullpen session.

The Mets will wait a few days and try again, but this likely rules him out for any potential playoff game.

Mets manager Terry Collins said the team will "discuss all options and decide the option for Steven."

"This winter we got to get a rehab program to strengthen his arm, his back and elbow," Collins said. "It's got to be a focus."

They have to try and get whatever they can out of whoever they can, but I wish they'd stop with the public magical thinking. "DeGrom will start Sunday! Matz will start Friday! Fairy dust will fall everywhere!"

If it's not Terry, it's Ray Ramirez. If it's not Ray Ramirez, it's the groundskeepers.

This x 1000.

Ultimately, if Matz can't execute or has pain, I don't want him starting anyways, but, yeah, the Mets are quite tease-y.

Is it time to try to coax Craig Swan out of retirement?

Rolfing's said to be highly effective.

I have to say, I stopped believing Matz would come back a long time ago in spite of the magical thinking Mets.

This. I never believed Matz was coming back. In fact I think pushing him this season is probably doing harm.

It's basically down to a rotation of Thor, Colon and Cross Your Fingers.

If the Mets manage to fight their way to the World Series, it will be their most improbable pennant. Even more than 1973.

I can see Zvon's banner now.
Colon and Thor
And I hope they can score.
