Update: Matusz as a reliever - 1-0 1.80 era, .147 batting avg against, 14k's to 1 walk, 0.60 WHIP. Is he changing his own future?!

Gutsy performance after being in the ER yesterday, had to be physically draining.

1 inning, no base runners, two strikeouts tonight. I think Matusz had the best fastball I've seen from him all year. He was hitting 93 and a nice downward plane right at the bottom of the zone several times. He has looked so good the last five or six weeks.

Baseball is a funny, funny game. I was willing to ship both Matusz and Tillman off to China earlier this year. I had completely lost patience with both of them. Now look where they are. Tillman was our 'ace' going into the last game of the year. Brian has been filthy pitching from the pen. Kudos to both of them.

And that comes back to the comments in which several posters made in this thread that I started 3 and-a-half months ago.

Maryland Aaron's first post in particular was excellent, in which he gave a detailed recap of where all of the pitchers are today.
