IGT 07/23 - TOR @ NYM - Tylor, Get the Feeling Again

[bmfc1]

Is this the World Series? No (not yet?), it's inter-league play as the Blue Jays come to Queens as the Mets start an 11-game homestand. Tylor Megill goes for the Mets and Steven Matz (LHP, but you knew that) goes for Toronto. Cue the tribute video!

Matz'll get the scoreboard montage treatment, right?

[Chad ochoseis]

Fifteen different pouty expressions after giving up five runs in the third.

[Edgy MD]

Ooooh, I'm thinking with a musical accompaniment of "I Just Died in Your Arms Tonight."

He deserves a whole documentary

Maybe they'll just show footage of Grandpa Matz.

[Frayed Knot]

WHATTAYAMEAN there's no game today?!?!?!??





Fuckin' Biden.

[bmfc1]

No McNeil who has a left leg that is "fatigued" (remember that he left Wednesday's game early). I thought that Pillar might get a start against a LHP.

[Edgy MD]

In his comment before the game, Rojas mentioned that he's intending to start Pillar against tomorrow's lefty.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Odd but Matz has changed his style. Usually waits to have a our-run lead before doing this stuff. #efficiency

[Edgy MD]

God bless Alejandro Kirk. What a beauty.

[Edgy MD]

They can start an Italian-American Hall of Fame just with the folks in attendance tonight.

[Edgy MD]

Gary just called Megill "Miguel."

[Edgy MD]

Two hits through five against a top offensive club. No matter what you call him, that's good stuff.

[Edgy MD]

Terrific ovation from a Friday-night crowd for Megilla.

[Edgy MD]

A four-pitch sixth thanks to some rangey-assed catches.



Megill may well be out-doing his last start.

[bmfc1]

What a catch by Conforto!

[Edgy MD]

Guy is as big as Herman Munster and they're pulling him after 78 pitches.



I think Rojas may be managing for that Atlanta series.

[Lefty Specialist]

Rojas again managing stupidly by pulling Megill with 78 pitches through 6 scoreless innings. This bullpen is suspect and should be used as little as possible.

[Edgy MD]

It takes some adjusting to accept that neither Guerror, Biggio, nor Bichette plays the same position as their dads.

He's using at least one RP that he can avoid using by giving Tylor another inning.

Lugo/May/Diaz--sounds good but two of three are coming off bad outings. Why not let the kid start the 7th?

[Edgy MD]

As I said, I suspect he wants him as fresh as can be for the Atlanta series.

[Edgy MD]

KA-FUCKING-BOOM!

[Lefty Specialist]

Boy, when Alonso hit 'em, they stay hit. That baseball probably has a dent in it. More Diaz-proofing.

[Edgy MD]

Nice catch by Smith, but wish they were able to switch in Pillar when he pinch-hit.

[Edgy MD]

Brilliant.

[bmfc1]

Fantastic game... and only 2:33!

[Fman99]

Enjoyed the fudge out of this game.

[G-Fafif]

Tylor got the feeling again.
