Summary

From 'Baseball Isn't Boring' (subscribe here): With baseball buzzing about the Mets' young starting pitchers - Nolan McLean, Jonah Tong and Brandon Sproat - as well as the Red Sox' rookie hurler Payton Tolle, it's a great time to get some perspective from Steven Matz. The current Red Sox reliever lived the life of these rookies back in 2015, when he was thrown into the Mets' starting rotation in September before making three postseason starts during New York's World Series run. It's a quick conversation with someone who knows what's what when it comes to being thrown into the postseason fire as a rookie.
