New York Notes: Matz, Mets, Yankees, Eovaldi

By Mark Polishuk | June 28, 2015 at 10:06pm CDT

Steven Matz could hardly have dreamed of a better Major League debut.  The Mets rookie southpaw not only delivered on the mound — 7 2/3 IP, two earned runs on five hits and three walks, six strikeouts — but he also helped his own cause at the plate by going 3-for-3 with four RBIs in the Mets’ 7-2 win over the Reds.  Matz is believed to be the first pitcher in baseball history (or at least as far back as 1914) to record four RBIs in his first game.  Perhaps we should’ve seen it coming, as Matz had a .304 average (7-for-23) at the Triple-A level this season.  Here’s some more from the Big Apple…

  • Matz represents the last of the Mets’ vaunted pitching prospects to hit the majors, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News notes, joining Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler, Jacob deGrom and Noah Syndergaard as what the Mets hopes will be their rotation of the future.  While it will still be a while before these five are all healthy and productive at the same time, Martino observes that the Mets’ plan to rebuild around young arms will now have to start showing results at the big league level.
  • Six rival scouts tell Joel Sherman of the New York Post that the Yankees have made strides in their minor league development, with one scout saying “Their system is a lot better. Dramatically better. They have come a long way in the last year.”  The scouts chime in on seven notable prospects, ranging from well-known names like Luis Severino and Aaron Judge to somewhat lesser-known talents like Double-A outfielder Jake Cave.
  • Nathan Eovaldi has had somewhat of an up-and-down start to his Yankees career, though he has a high-profile supporter in Nolan Ryan.  “I thought he pitched a really good game he probably has one of the better arms in baseball,’’ Ryan told George A. King III of the New York Post after Eovaldi’s start on Friday against Ryan’s Astros. “He knows how to pitch. The Yankees made themselves a good deal.’’  Eovaldi and Garrett Jones went to the Bronx from Miami in exchange for Martin Prado and David Phelps in a trade last December.  Eovaldi has a 4.81 ERA over 82 1/3 innings this season, though an inflated .354 BABIP may explain why his ERA indicators (3.78 FIP, 3.84 xFIP, 4.00 SIERA) are more favorable.

        ^both. The forums are a lot of work to keep up with right now. The notification system doesn’t work properly.. It forces people to manually check for responses. Somewhat poorly timed leading into trade season. Some people will have a threshold where they won’t comment or respond…. The moderation is also very touchy… I have no idea how ai set it off yesterday, but it took 7 hours to be passed through. About 3/4 of my posts are sent to moderator, and I can’t figure out why…I don’t troll or make nasty statements… It’s frustrating because it delays conversation. I’d be in favor of the old disqus flag system…people that care are generally very good about knowing the difference between mature discussion and what is inappropriate.

        I’m just happy that we’re not required to sign in through a Facebook account, as I have serious concerns with that. I’m in total agreement with Steve on the mobile app…I’m anxiously awaiting that system. At this point, its rough…and I’ve noticed a slack in commenting…but it will get better…people are asking for that, as they should…but we need to be patient during the remodel. If this site and the conversation that flows though it are worth enough..they are worth a brief amount inconvenience.

        Interestingly, I’ve noticed that since the switch the number of what I’ve presumed to be high school aged trolls out of school for the summer has diminished… Perhaps the sign up and this process has made it less worth it for them. I still seem to be seeing the regulars…even if they don’t have their icons working..lol

      Disqus won’t be returning, but this is only a shell of the comment system that will eventually be in place. Developing our own comment system doesn’t keep us at the mercy of a third party, and it allows us to easily integrate comments into the mobile app, which is something users have been requesting for quite some time.

      We’re aware that this comment system, as it stands, is a very bare bones system. Updates are coming that will make it more similar to Disqus and will incorporate some of the Disqus-like features that have been commonly requested.

        I am curious about moderation… What exactly sets that off filter wise…. I’ve had 3/4 of my posts lately await moderation and then have no issue being sent through…I’ve looked back over posts and couldn’t figure out what the issue was. Is there a word trigger?

        We need a better way to see comment replies. Disqus has a page to allow a user to see all comment replies; I don’t have that here, now, and it has basically made it impossible to have a discussion.

          Yes. Replies to my posts would previously be sent to my email, which worked fine for me. My problem is here…and I haven’t had this answered…but the same system now email ALL replies to a post whether they are relevant to you or not…. I allowed that and received all 100 comments on a post on this site.

    Mets need to get a bat or two to stay in this race. However that can all change in these next two weeks, after the Cubs they face the Dodgers, Giants and Cardinals with the Diamondbacks wedged in there. The team is 2 games back in both the division and wild card races. Having a good series against the Cubs and Giants would certainly help in that race given that the Cubs are the team directly in front of them for the WC and the Giants currently sit in the second spot. They don’t play the Nationals until the 3rd week in July after the All Star break which may or may not matter at that point.

    In theory Murphy should be back this week since he played his last rehab game last night and TdA should be back before the AS break which helps but they still need another regular bat (either 3B or SS) and possibly a 4th outfielder. But again by the third week in July determines if the team is once again sellers or will be actually buying for the first time since 2008.

      The Mets need to bring up Conforto and bench Cuddyer. He is a rally killer and looks lost up at the plate. Adding Conforto TdA & Murphy should help w. the lineup. Pitching will still need to dominate, but hopefully the offense can turn it around to take some of the pressure off.
