Mets fans, another new episode is here!
This week Mike and I discuss the World Baseball Classic and the wild week for Mike Piazza, Matt Harvey and team Italy advancing to the quarter finals in Tokyo, Mike updates us live from Mets camp about José Quintana and Bryce Montes de Oca injury statuses along with Darin Ruf, Tylor Megill‘s strong outing and how he’s been “taking notes” from Max Scherzer, and much more!
After Megill’s successful four innings Monday afternoon he spoke with Mike and the rest of the Mets reporters about going back to what made him successful when he was first called up to the big leagues and how Scherzer has helped the young right-hander:
“The big thing that Megill spoke about today was when in 2021 when he came up, he was a guy who was 93-96 mph [with his fastball] and got hitters out and was a good pitcher for the Mets. Last year he started the season as one of the best pitchers in baseball, but the fastball was 97-99 MPH early in starts, which Megill even alluded to that possibly playing a part in why he developed that shoulder strain and miss a large portion of the year and why he fell off in most starts, too. When he was successful last year he was only really a five-inning starter, and that’s something Megill said that he’s been discussing with Scherzer about learning how to manage a starter and understanding that pitches 85-100 are more important than pitches 1-30.”
