IGT 9/7/2018: PHI@NYM -- Welcome Matz

G-Fafif Sep 07 2018 05:56 PM

The Mets return home from a winning road trip in quest of a winning homestand, an elusive event in 2018. They are 35-36 away from Citi Field, 28-40 within it. Tasked with facilitating the reversal of this "tsk" of a record is Steven Matz. Matz is the Mets' nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award. He will be opposed by the Phillies lineup as a whole, Aaron Nola more colloquially. Nola is the Phillies' nominee for the Cy Young Award. Do your community a favor, Steven. Make Aaron the interloper look like an also-ran.

The Mets' prospects may or may not be augmented by the potential presence of returning reliever Anthony Swarzak.

but not of their captain, for some reason.

I think I hit edited two posts up, I apologize. Need to keep my thumbs to myself and not post mobile.

Typical Matz. Give him a lead, watch him give it right back. He's about the worst good pitcher I can remember on the Mets.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2018 12:08 AM Re: IGT 9/7/2018: PHI@NYM -- Welcome Matz

Zimmo + McNeil. That's good stuff

Frayed Knot Sep 08 2018 12:37 AM Re: IGT 9/7/2018: PHI@NYM -- Welcome Matz

His pitch counts are just so ridiculous. But for one pitch he'd be tossing a shutout but he's still managed to get just one out in the 5th with a pitch total that should have him in a similar spot in the 7th.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2018 01:49 AM Re: IGT 9/7/2018: PHI@NYM -- Welcome Matz

Here comes the bottom of the 9th, down 1, thanks to Matz giving up the lead and bowing out way too early forcing Mickey to use all those relieivers

John Cougar Lunchbucket Sep 08 2018 01:53 AM Re: IGT 9/7/2018: PHI@NYM -- Welcome Matz

nice efficient loss.
