Matusz can't pitch to right handed hitting. We already know that. I'm not too upset he was hit bad while facing a bunch of RH hitters. That's on Buck IMO.

I am past tired of seeing Evan Meek. This guy can not pitch at the major league level anymore. Where is that 93-95 mph cutter he was throwing in the Spring?

I understand that the team needed arms for the weekend, with the double header on Friday. But Meek can't pitch, I don't understand why he keeps getting run out there to fail. There has to be someone else they could have called up...

No options left, can't send him down.

But can we afford to keep him in Baltimore either? He's 27 years old now so he isn't young anymore. I'm sure we'll keep him through the end of the year... but should we really?

I am too. There has to be someone who will take him.

He is not going to make it to the All Star game. Once Norris comes back they can move some guys around and have a solid pen.

I have a long list of players I'm pretty tired of. Matusz, Meek, Davis, Gonzalez, Flaherty, Schoop, Duquette,....

Oh wait. That last one I'm tired of because he won't start our best pitcher in the bigs. Braindead stupid.

Gonzalez was pretty good right up til he got injured and has not bee good since. When Norris comes back he can go to the pen where he would be better though.

I think the Orioles really need to admit to themselves that Matusz was a total failure as a draft pick.

They need to make objective decisions about players regardless of tgeir draft status.

Sadly, it would benefit the team greatly to simply release Matusz.

Think of all the other players we could have drafted instead.

People keep writing this, but it isn't true. He gave up a two run double to the first batter he faced James Loney WHO IS LEFT HANDED. He also gave up a massive two run homer to Matt Joyce WHO IS LEFT HANDED. Both pitches were AWFUL. He didn't get hit by just righties.

Buck left him in once he blew it to save the pen. It wasn't bad managing. It was good managing.

Excellent managing in fact. If your loogy can't get the guy he is brought in for, get a new loogy.

      I thought Chisholm missed home too. They didn’t appeal tho I don’t think.

      Inexcusable missed call in NY. Review Cleo at showed Chisholm out at 2nd. They upheld safe call.

      Elias: It's on me

      By now · Posted

      Well, good on posters who proved the SSS side of "Guards Ball." I just found it striking in terms of the narrative in that article, which was basically the same as what most around here were complaining the O's lacked: clutch hitting, passing the baton, aggressive running, getting runners in from third, etc. I guess the real bottom line is "whatever works." Which of course varies from case to case. The old Bill James postseason wisdom was that HRs are the ticket, since you face good pitching and get so few hits. So back to you, Elias, keep crunching those numbers...

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      First, the had a jump in 23’ given how terrible they had been previously, which conditions many fans in the marketplace not to care. They simple weren’t relevant for years. So one very good regular season will not undue years of being bad/irrelevant and treating your customers terribly. Next, I think they missed an opportunity in the offseason by not doing enough by way of big/bold attention grabbing moves. Now I acknowledge that this was most likely due to the ownership flux/transition. I believe they got an attendance/marketplace engagement boost when they changed owners and when they traded for Burnes. However, I believe we would have seen more engagement attendance with say a big Gunnar extension and/or bringing in a big time FA.   IMO this would have created more buzz before the season (say around the time people make season tix decisions - IMO before Christmas is when some people make those bigger purchases). All of this is to say, that it will take time and effort on the organizations part because of how bad of a stain that the Angeloses left. I still have friends and colleagues who refuse to support the Orioles and attend games due to the damage that was done. Rubenstien & co are not going to be able to undo 30 years of awfulness overnight. But IMO it is not enough to simply call it “a new chapter”. They have to make new/different actions to distinguish themselves from who the Orioles were/used to be under the Angelos regime.

      Just checking in on Gameday, Yankees looking incredibly vulnerable.  Should be the Os out there.  Super lame.  Whichever team wins this series I hope gets knocked out by CLE or DET.

      If the franchise were better, the fan base would be too.  It’s been a rough 40 years.
