What’s not to love about Madison Bumgarner? The guy rolls out World Series wins, dominates on the mound in the playoffs, and drives a pickup truck like he’s still living in the mountains of North Carolina. On Sunday, Bumgarner absolutely destroyed a pitch into the left-field bleachers for his second homerun of the season. His “newspaper” sure is swatting these days. Speaking of pitchers that can hit, Steven Matz, in his Major League debut, went 3-for-3 and drove in four runs to help h[...]Keep on reading: Starting Pitcher Waiver Wire Streamers for Week 13 (Part 1)

It finally happened. Noah Syndergaard was called up to the Majors. Mets’ right-hander Dillon Gee was placed on the DL with groin issues and the Mets decided to give his spot in the rotation to Noah Syndergaard. It isn’t very surprising. Steve Matz has looked impressive, but he doesn’t have the same level of upside. Rafael Montero probably has a little bit more development left to go.
