Someone reset Tyler Matzek’s wikipedia page and it’s gold
By John Buhler
It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when, the Atlanta Braves will erect a statue in Tyler Matzek’s likeness at The Battery.
No pitcher has been more clutch during the Atlanta Braves‘ run to the World Series than southpaw Tyler Matzek.
The left-handed reliever pumps ice through his veins on a regular basis. In the biggest moment of his life in Game 6 of the 2021 NLCS, Matzek came into the bottom of the seventh inning with the Braves up 4-2 on the Los Angeles Dodgers with no outs and runners on second and third. He struck out the side, including punch outs of Albert Pujols and Mookie Betts to save the season.
Matzek pitched a scoreless eighth inning in his second inning of work for the night. If you have your doubts about how much of a beloved figure he is among Braves Country, look at this impromptu update of his Wikipedia page. No, this update is not safe for work.
Tyler Matzek gets an NSFW update to his Wikipedia page after NLCS victory
For a guy who developed the yips playing for Walt Weiss’ Colorado Rockies half a decade ago to being a big reason why Matzek, Weiss and the Braves are going to the World Series, what a remarkable story. The last time the Braves won the NL pennant, their beloved bench coach played shortstop for Atlanta and made the play of his life in the NLDS against … the Houston Astros.
Matzek may never pitch bigger in his life, but this moment and screenshot will live on forever.
