I think if Matusz doesn't pitch decently today, he'll go to Norfolk

[CA-ORIOLE]

The Bus to Norfolk. I think he goes after the game. Soon to be followed by Arrieta.

Ok, got you.

Has there ever been 3 starters sent down on the same day? Just asking.

Yea, I'm pretty much done with Matusz for now. Have Peterson see if he can work some magic.

[El Gordo]

I think they either bring up another RP to replace him and then send him back down for Tillman Thurs. or just bring up Tillman now so he can get acclimated

[waroriole]

Good point, I agree. MGon probably works long relief today if Matusz gets touched up and then takes his start on Friday.

At least MGon is showing that he wants a shot.

I am very impressed with his work. Nice live fastball.

I would think they would want him to travel with the team to Seattle.

It's unbelievable how bad Matusz is. He looks like a completely different pitcher - literally, his windup looks nothing like when he came out of school. Remember he had pinpoint control and a devastating changeup? Remember the quotes from his college coach saying he was Major League ready? (And he actually was.)

How the heck did he turned into this red-cheeked, huffing and puffing, Brian Burress clone?

He can still travel with the team and not be activated.

Yep. See if he can rediscover himself down there.

Very disappointing though. I'll be pulling for him. I'm not ready to give up on him. I don't think Matusz can do much out of the BP either (other than as a LOOGY... tOPS+ of 24 vs. LHB).

[WEAVERMAN]

How do you keep Matusz around if you want to finish above .500, much less complete in the AL East? Make a move DD.

Pretty confident sure he's going to AAA after today.

I say 10mins

[Brendan25]

I wouldn't say it's a guarantee yet.
