Matusz needs to go down and reinvent himself

[Can_of_corn]

I really don't take things personally on here. I made a comment, and touched some nerves on here. I just hope no one loses any sleep over anything I say, because I know I won't over any comments at me

I am not offended at all and I am not taking things personally so don't worry about it.

I was trying to make another point entirely and evidently failed.

For all of you way over reaction people giving up on Matsuz tonight let me quote Jim Palmer,

"The only thing you know about pitching is you couldn't hit it"

This is just a hilarious combination of sentences.

Never claimed to be a scout. Just a fan making a comment from my own personal point of view. Sorry to have wasted the time of a man as intellegent as yourself. Please, accept my apologies.

His delivery is all over the place. He had some bad luck, but it's definitely not encouraging.

Not encouraging. I'm not that worried about it, though. The stuff - absent the release point/command issues - was pretty crisp.

[Araqnid]

He doesn't look like he was during the end of the 2010 season, but:

a) He's one of the top 5 pitchers in the organization not named Britton or Bundy

b) He's gotten good results against three of the best offenses in the game

I get what you're saying about the stuff, because the BBs are a concern, but the guy literally just had the worst season a pitcher has ever had, he's come back to be a pretty average pitcher in a very short period of time. He's earned the chance to have a few bad starts in a row without too much questioning, let alone three good starts.

Of course, I was more focused on writing this post to see Matusz blow up. Change the gist of this post to "everyone has a bad start or two."

I think he's just a back of the rotation guy whose likely to be inconsistently good at times. There's nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

Phishing?

It's a hilarious combination of sentences because you disparaged him physically and mentally and then claimed you were rooting for him. I'm not the only person to notice it. It's the scouting equivalent of "no offense, but..."

Nice to see someone got it...

In a (non) word: gah.

Haha, that really is some hideous grammar useage on my part. I still have trouble with the touch screen typing and get a little lazy typing on a cell phone. Thanks for the grammar lesson though

I agree there is nothing wrong with it on an individual level but eventually we need some guys to step up and be front of the rotation guys. Hammel and Arreita have stepped up so far and look like they can be those types but can they stick for a whole year? We shall see. Otherwise, there really isn't an arm outside of Bundy anywhere in this organization that projects as a top 3 starter which is a rather scary thought. I'm not being reactionary here, it is just my honest opinion.

I think there probably is when he was a top 5 pick. You want to and need to hit on those guys. That said, I am at a loss of what has happened to Matusz. I think some lesser competition would be good for him though.

I say just send him down. This isn't another season down the drain where he can just keep pitching like crap ever other game or so. We are in first place! Looking pretty good. Let him figure it out in AAA.I'm so tired of him. Lets bring someone up and give them a shot or try a trade or free agent. Not a time to fool around. He may have had those 2 or or whatever good starts, but he didn't look very good. Same with hunter. Hunter is another problem. Everything seems to be in the middle of the plate. Not sure how he hasn't given up more runs then he has. He needs to be in bullpen or sent down. I'm ready to win now. I'm done being patient

I'm willing to chalk this one up to a really good lineup and an off night... but his all over the place mechanics are somewhat worrisome.

His mechanics today were just a mess. He needs to be demoted

As an Oriole fan, of course I am rooting for him. But, I also have reservations about his ability. Hopefully he turns it around. I was also an Adam Loewen fan. And I am seeing alot of similarities between Loewen and Matusz. Of course, we saw how that panned out.
