I sure hope it does. I'd rather his 84 MPH fastball be injury related, than the end product we can expect from him. At least if its injury, you know where you stand and you can get it fixed.

He is not getting over his front leg, so he is throwing all arm. That can be fixed at Norfolk.

Agreed. I am hoping he is still being affected by the injury, otherwise it could be really bad.

Who are you bringing up to replace him? They all need work.

Whatever is wrong with BMat needs to be fixed pronto. We need him pitching like he was at the end of last year.

This is why we needed to sign a decent veteran starter last offseason and not one who you had a 75 % chance of missing the entire season

Other than the decrease in velocity Matusz was fine his first two starts. It'll take much more than today to make me want to send him to AAA or replace him in the rotation.

Remove his fastball and he is not a good pitcher. He is afraid to throw it and is over throwing to reach high 80's when he does go to it.

      Saturday, May 18: A Wet one vs The Seamen

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I didn't think that was a homer off the bat.  I thought he got under it a little and that since it was going out to the Wall, there wasn't much of a chance -if any- that it was going to get out of the park. That's one of the more impressive things you'll ever see.

      The Orioles have to face two opponents every night:  the other team and the home plate umpire.    Tonight Thornton was able to retire Jordan Westburg without ever throwing a strike, because he got strike one called on a pitch 6 inches off the outside corner, got strike two on a phantom foul tip and forced Westburg to chase strike three.  Mullins and Rutschman were also put in the hole by terrible strike one calls in the ninth.  We are systematically disadvantaged on ball/strike calls.  My theory is that the umpires have had it in for the Orioles ever since Roberto Alomar spit on John Hirshbeck and Peter Angelos refused to discipline Alomar.   Maybe my explanation is wrong, but the fact is that the Orioles have one of the highest number of expected runs taken away from them by missed balls and strikes.   The robot umps can't come soon enough.

      Another good outing from the kid.  He’s pitching remarkable considering the run scoring environment in AAA.

      Orioles Sign Daniel Johnson to mil contract (tea leaves?)

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      Had a great spring, now hitting .271/.920 at Norfolk. Could he possibly be worse than Mullins? How much longer can we afford to carry Mullins producing zero offense? Any reports on the defense? When he came up with Cleveland he did not play CF but they had Myles Straw there.

      Cosign. Mateo is the better offensive player right now and Mullins is unplayable outside his defense. Cowser needs to start more in CF he looked ok the other day. Stowers did make ok contact pinch hitting for Mateo, but I would have preferred to see him or Mountcastle for Mullins to start the inning.
