Atlanta Braves Reliever Mocks Los Angeles Chargers’ Misery With a Cheeky Dig at the New York Mets
Tyler Matzek is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery and will miss the entire 2023 MLB season. He suffered a problem in his left elbow and will be out for 12-18 months. But the Braves signed him to a 2-year, $3.1 million deal despite his injury. Matzek seems to be in high spirits and recently poked fun at the Los Angeles Chargers for an embarrassing loss they suffered.
Additionally, he took pictures of the New York Mets and their fans at the same time. While mocking the Chargers and Mets, Matzek didn’t hold back at all.

The Chargers just blew a 27-0 lead against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC Wild Card round. They ended up losing 31-30 in what was an embarrassing second half performance. Atlanta Braves reliever Tyler Matzek tweeted about the loss and mocked Chargers fans and Mets fans in a single post. He asked if he had been a Chargers fan, would he know how Mets fans felt? This was a dig at the Mets, implying that they regularly blow big pitches.
If I’m a @chargers fan, does that mean I know what it feels like to be a Mets fan after watching that game?

In the Tweet, Matzek said, “If I’m a @chargersfan, does that mean I know what it feels like to be a Mets fan after watching that game?” After this question he also added a Tweet poll with two answers – Yes and Yes again. This was a real double-edged dig as he managed to lash out at both Chargers and Mets supporters.
Fans reacted to the Tweet with some very mixed opinions. While some people supported Matzek, others disagreed with his Tweet and trolled him.
I didn’t think it was possible to love Tyler more, but here we are 🤣😂
