A few weeks ago, we got to see Noah Syndergaard make his debut. Sunday, after the Mets and Reds complete Saturday's game, we get to see Steven Matz.
Odds are he won't throw a perfect game or a no-hitter; hell, even if he's cruising, he won't get a complete game, but there is so much hype around this dude, it feels like anything short of dominance will be looked upon as some sort of failure.
Of course, anything short of dominance will likely result in a loss the way this team isn't hitting, so the pressure is on him to deliver a gem.
