Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman was glued to the TV to watch the AL Wild Card Game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox just like every other fan on Tuesday night.

Stroman gave his analysis throughout the game, tweeting out what he saw from stars like Gerrit Cole, Xander Bogaerts, Nathan Eovaldi, and Kyle Schwarber. Fans online were loving Stroman's breakdowns, as he may have already found the perfect post-playing career job as a color commentator.

Stroman said he'll be back on Twitter on Wednesday doing the same thing for the NL Wild Card Game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals.

Locked in for this AL Wild Card game. National Anthem was amazing. Cheers to that woman. The energy at Fenway is unreal. Can’t believe JD isn’t in the lineup. Two power pitchers and power lineups going at it. Devers is my pick to change the game. Who y’all got!? @MLB pic.twitter.com/TX457v94Gc

Wow. Bogaerts. He’s been raking against me for years. Lol he doesn’t have any holes in that swing. You have to expand way off the plate from pitch one with quality pitches. His bat path allows him to cover any velocity/off-speed in the zone while maximizing on the bad pitches!

Watching this game on mute and giving y’all some of my thoughts.

Schwarber has been killing high fastballs all season. Even ones above the zone. That man made an unbelievable adjustment to his swing and it’s paying big dividends!

Wow. Cole out. I feel for him. Regardless of all the negative commentary…he’s elite and will be one of the best pitchers in the game for years to come. That’s a fact. One moment won’t define his career and he’ll have plenty more opportunities to showcase his true talent!

Told y’all about that quick pitch! I’m bringing back all the timing and delivery variations next year. I’m now inspired by Eovaldi! 😈

You can’t send Judge there. Can’t do it no matter what. Not with one out! Sheesh. Game-changer. Great relay by the Sox…still can’t send him! 🤦🏾‍♂️

Yankees could have been dangerous if they got in. Stanton was unreal in the second-half. Judge was an MVP caliber player all year. Urshela is unreal. Bullpen was pretty filthy all year. In the end, just needed some more quality starting pitcher depth!
