Matz Countdown

[Edgy MD]

Name the date of the MLB debut for Stevie Matz. NAME IT!

[Ceetar]

July 5th.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

July 7 in San Fran. We'll be there!

[Guest d'Kong76]

July 4th... with fireworks

[TransMonk]

I like 7/4 as well.

[ashie62]

Before next homestand.

[Edgy MD]

He goes today against Lago de Sal. I'd guess it's his last go, but there's a day off on the 22nd and another on the 29th, so there's no immediate need for a sixth starter. I'm going with Sunday, July 5th in LA.

[Lefty Specialist]

6th Starter Day would make a lot of sense, and Niese will conveniently come down with an oblique or gout or Scratchy Beard Syndrome or some such shortly thereafter.....

I second that emotion.

June 23, Milwaukee. Six days from today. Book it.

Thanks! Somehow he looks more awkward as a lefty.

[MFS62]

He and Niese are still on the same pitching schedule.
Just sayin'.
Later

[Edgy MD]

Niese did fine tonight.

Matz, however, did superfine this afternoon in Utah. Fine-plus-plus.

Player	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	HR	ERA
Steven Matz (W, 7-4)	7.0	4	0	0	1	5	0	2.11

[Edgy MD]

Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal taking time off from his run in Orville Redenbocker Live! to tweet that Matz's promotion is about to happen and an announcement will come later today.

He has no explicit confirmation.

[Edgy MD]

I smell a trade. Laggy is sitting. Matz is coming. So I close my eyes and see Laggy and Niese going to the Cubs for somebody.

[Lefty Specialist]

If they do the 6-man rotation again I'm going to have an aneurysm.

Laggy and Niese for Gomez and Segura. DO IT NOW SANDY!!!!!!1111!!!!1!1

[Benjamin Grimm]

Then they'll have to battle it out to see who will be the 1000th Met!

[Edgy MD]

I'm getting the idea that Go-Go isn't really close to 100%.

[Edgy MD]

Oops, Laggy can't be traded. I just heard a commercial saying he's going to be at the Steiner store in Roosevelt field next week.

[Lefty Specialist]

Lagares is more likely to end up on the DL than he is to be traded. Elbows and armpits are tricky things.

[Edgy MD]

Puma says he has a reliable source telling him there's nothing hap'nin' on the trade front right now.

[seawolf17]

Well, the countdown is zero. LET'S DO THIS, MATZ.

probably the least reliable beat guy.

I saw a tweet that Nieses might be expecting. (something in the water?)

also Lagares says the armpit thing is fine, and him hitting some again probably indicates that.

[Lefty Specialist]

Unfortunately Lagares' problem is now with the elbow which has sharply curtailed his ability to throw.

[Guest d'Kong76]

Matz up, Niese to pen...
