Matt Lindstrom Appreciation Thread

[Catch 8]

You were very crucial to the Orioles' early success and had come on of late (last appearance non-withstanding). Your performance dropped a bit after your injury, but you rebounded and deserve a lot of credit for our divine record with leads in late innings. You have a relatively unheralded role, but our bullpen is why we are still in this thing. As a capable power arm, I wish we could have kept you.

[Frobby]

Good luck, Matt. You had a nice year for us.

[Scrat1]

He was, early on, a significant part of our truly extraordinary bullpen, which started off hot and set the tone for the entire year.

Best of luck.

Good luck, Matt. You had a nice year for us.

Matt. I hope we can get you a ring and a WS share. Good luck. Maybe we will see you here again someday.

[LookitsPuck]

Good luck, Matt. You were great for us. Bulldog!

I don't know if any of you read his comments on being traded, but here's a link to the MASN article http://www.masnsports.com/school_of_roch/2012/08/orioles-acquire-joe-sanders-from-arizona-for-matt-lindstrom.html

What a class act

Ditto. Matt was a great addition to the O's during his short stay both on and off the field. How come we didn't get this guy years ago?

I've always liked Lindstrom. He's got filthy, nasty stuff, and also seems like a really great guy. Best of luck in Arizona, Matt.

[$Greatness$]

Good job, homie. Continued success and best wishes.

[OrangeJerseys]

Thanks Matt. Good luck in the desert.

Yeah saw that, seemed like a wonderful teammate. Good luck Matt and come back to Baltimore:)

[Spy Fox]

Good work for the team this season Matt, thanks. An important but relatively unheralded contributor to our most important strength this year.

Arizona isn't totally out of it. Best of luck over there ML.

[better]

Nice job Mr. Lindstrom! Sad to see you go, but you can always sign with us again

[Il BuonO]

I think we traded the wrong guy. I think his stuff was much better than that of Ayala's, but the injury set him back. His inherited runners scored number is better, he throws harder and I would rather see him at any point in the game than Ayala. I don't know where people on other threads are getting he was disgruntled. Sounds like stirring the pot to me, he seemed like a class act all along. I went back back and watched the replay of the last HR he gave up when he left the mound, but he seemed upset with himself. I hope he does well with AZ.

[Ampontan]

Interesting fact that hadn't dawned on me when the trade was made, though it's obvious when you think about it.

Lindstrom couldn't have been traded unless he passed through waivers.

I could be wrong, but I think they probably did that earlier this month, when teams usually do it.

I don't know how he made it through.
