Tom Brennan - Search Party Out For Tylor Megill; Jeffry Rosa Rampage

“TYLOR, TYLOR!  WHERE ARE YOU?”

“Be on the alert for a missing male, Caucasian, 6’7”, 230, appears harmless, but may be dazed and confused. Hangs out on hills of dirt a lot. If you see him, immediately call 1-800-St-Cohen”.

Messrs. Scherzer and Verlander missed much time early in 2023, and their back up starter, Tylor Megill, nicely proceeded to go 5-2, 3.88 through May 18. The only disconcerting sign from the now-missing Tylor during that period was an elevated walk rate.

Then, he simply began to unravel.

In his next 6 outings, 25 innings, 28 runs allowed.

The reeling Megill was unsurprisingly demoted to AAA. Pitching against inferior hitters ought to get his head screwed on straight, again; that had to be the mindset of the FO.

Except in 21 innings in post-demotion AAA, 42 runners have been allowed, 24 runs scored…and just 8 Ks??? 

Just 8 of 102 AAA batters faced (8%) get fanned? 

This same guy fanned 59 AA and AAA batters in 40 innings just prior to his MLB debut in 2021. 59 of 164 batters faced (36%).

Clearly, that man on the mound recently is not Tylor Megill; clearly, the real one has gone missing. Clearly, someone needs to search for him.

Maybe it is not Tylor out there, but actually instead the bombarded and then released Dylan Bundy, dressed up in a Megill disguise, back on the mound as an impostor.

Let’s put up posters on utility poles, in hopes someone has seen him. 

We want the real Tylor Megill back. Not the impostor.
