Brian Matusz will be our #1 starter by year's end

[jtschrei]

Matusz has been REALLY effective against lefties this year; his TTP has improved; he's stuck with it. I give him credit. I have been on this board saying he needs to throw more change-ups, he needs to throw more change-ups. But, maybe he doesn't. His breaking ball has been excellent.

One thing noticeable about yesterdays start was that of the 7 ks, 5 or so of them were swinging on balls in the dirt. If he can continue to induce OOZ swings, obviously that bodes well for him.

When his slider is on, it serves almost as well as a change up. Yestersday he threw it 29 times, 23 strikes, including 10 whiffs.

My apologies, guys. I tried. I really thought this was going to be Brian's year. I will continue to think that he will be a very good starter in the majors, just not for us. I think a change of scenery is his best route and for his sake, the National League. He seems like he is a guy that is not receptive to much coaching, at least not our coaches. To be the #4 pick in the draft and to see what he has become is truly sad.

Again, I believe in him. I think he has talent. Somehow, someway he will find the perfect storm. Where? I still say San Diego.

Matusz and a prospect for Headley makes SOOOOOOOOOOO much sense. He goes home to sunny California, pitches in a huge ballpark made for flyball pitchers, and we get our 3B. Please do this Dan Duquette. I'm begging you.

Brian, you are a mess. I wish you all the best. But, I believe your days in Baltimore are over. God speed.

Matusz for Headley even up?

Seems like the "Matusz to San Diego" idea has come as a "revelation" to some people. How about that? :scratchchinhmm:
