Brian Matusz Today, 2013

[Crazysilver03]

I've seen some say Brian may not be back next year.. I'm unclear on how much longer we have team control..

Per COTS:

• 1 year/$1.6M (2013)
  • re-signed by Baltimore 1/18/13 (avoided arbitration)

He is under control for three more years. He was arbitration eligible as a Super Two.

Most people believe he will not be with the team because of his rising salary cost vs. production. He still has an option year and some team could see him as a starter still.

I'm going to be very happy when he is released/traded this offseason

Why in the world did Showalter take out Matusz to replace him with Hunter against a LH hitter? That made no sense whatever....:rolleyestf:

No wonder we can't win a one run game to same ourselves...:angryfire:

Hunter came in to pitch to Napoli.

Hunter came in to pitch to Napoli.

Huh? The first batter I saw Hunter pitching two was the catcher. What did Napoli do, I must have missed his AB somehow..?

Hunter struck Napoli out. You've been doing this for 40 years?
