IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

G-Fafif Jun 22 2021 09:36 PM

Tylor Megill makes his MLB debut. Mr. and Mrs. Fafif make their 2021 Citi Field debut. Perhaps somebody who isn't a Brave crosses a plate. The action commences at 7:10. May none of us crumple in pain.

LWFS Jun 23 2021 12:10 AM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

"Tylor Megill" seems like it came together from spilled Scrabble tiles. At 6'7", he's tall, like Big Bird. He also sounds made-up, like Big Bird.

Fman99 Jun 23 2021 05:10 AM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

His name is Megill. Do you think he calls himself Lil? Or even perhaps Nancy?

Ceetar Jun 23 2021 05:53 AM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

Gary just ran with the deGromian parallel, noting that he's the exact same age to the day that deGrom was when he made his MLB debut.

Frayed Knot Jun 23 2021 06:45 PM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

Megill's pitch count is high so this is going to be his last inning I'm sure. Now he needs to make it through the frame. ... and McNeil helps him out.

Frayed Knot Jun 23 2021 06:52 PM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

I feel like this is the part where Hefner and the infielders all gather around Megill like the Goombas around young Henry Hill outside the courthouse and say, "Hey, you broke your cherry!"

Good to be back inside. It all felt intrinsically normal, even in light of this and that being a little off. Made me wish last year's emptiness had been altogether skipped. A moment like Megill getting an ovation for a plucky four-and-a-third, having it interrupted so the requisite umpire search could be booed, and then resuming the applause once the stop & frisk concluded, well, you just don't get that from cardboard cutouts.

After two starts, I still like him a lot. May not have the endurance/repertoire to be a starter long term. But maybe could be a dominant relief guy. I guess we'll have to see if his secondary stuff continues to fool batters. Also would be cool if he added like 8 MPH to his fastball as he gets into his 30s.

Edgy MD Jun 30 2021 10:31 AM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

Where had he ranked on the prospect charts?

Edgy MD Jun 30 2021 10:46 AM Re: IGT 6/23/2021: ATL@NYM — And Tylor, Too

Mostly not particularly high. MLB.com had him at 21st but this year he has already passed number #20 Franklyn Kilome and #10 Thomas Szapucki. But that just feeds the deGrom comparison. Jacob got to AAA and blew past Zack Wheeler and Rafael Montero. Prospect ranking is educated guesswork. THEY CAN'T SEE A MAN'S HEART!
