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

[scOtt]

I say 10mins

You're pretty negative, but I agree with this. He's NOT on the plane to the west coast.

[FanSince88]

I predict he'll be sent down in July of 2013. Because this organization loves to keep beating dead horses.

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

I'd be shocked if he wasn't sent down.

LOL. So 10 minutes was right. Did you make that up? Man that was lightening fast. That was "I'm sending you a message fast" if it's true.

Tillman up?

Tillman or Britton.

So much for hoping! Before the game comments

We need him to pitch well enough to keep his trade value up. I would be surprised if he lasts 4 innings today and gives up less than 4 runs. I hope he does go longer and holds them to under 5 runs..

Tom Davis just announced that Matusz has been optioned to Norfolk.

Not Britton. Not yet. Maybe not even Tillman. Gonzo might be the replacement.

Petersen mentioned somewhere that they were going to stretch him out. I may be crazy, I think I read that though.

Well someone needs to pitch Thursday, so it's either Tillman, Britton, or Eveland, and I can't fathom them giving Eveland another start.

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

I think coaching does have something to do with Matusz's problems. It feels like they've forced him to throw more fastballs than he should. It will be interesting to see if Griffin and Peterson can resurrect him.

Tillman up?

For long relief until Friday. Then someone else. I sent our regards to Dave and Steve from all of us.

[section18]

The big question is? Will he listen to them and will he store it upstairs.

[weams]

My belief is that Tillman and Britton pitch Thursday and Friday. For the Orioles.
