Really tired of Matusz...

With our budget constraints, I'm surprised we brought him back to be a LOOGY. At this point, I'd trade him just for salary relief.

I think his draft status was the determining factor. Or maybe Patton's suspension. Could have easily been Patton's suspension. Britton wasn't Britton yet don't forget.

But LOOGY's are cheap. I mean Rapada is tough on LH and is signed to a MiL deal. Good point on Britton though.

Like I said I think draft status was a factor. You think the Rays give Tim Beckham a cup of coffee if he wasn't a 1-1?

I'll always wonder what happened to that change up. Did Buck's TTTP screw him up completely?

No idea. I do know he looked like at least a solid #3 there for awhile.

Brian Matusz is like a box of chocolates.

He melts in high heat?

You never know what you're going to get. It was a nice way of saying he reminds me of Forrest Gump.

Once again, boxes of chocolate are labeled. Inside of the top of the box a lot of the times.

Forrest probably wasn't much of a reader.

Matusz isn't much of a pitcher.

[calmunderfire]

I'm surprised Matusz is still on the team. Serious question though is he the longest tenured pitcher on the team? Besides maybe Chris Tillman, but Matusz actually may have the most active Orioles service time among pitchers.

Went from first pitcher taken in draft to failed starter to failed reliever. And he's still not in the minors. Still not released. Still not traded. He's been here for what like 5 years?

[bpilktree]

Buck clearly does not want to use him and he is starting to kill the pen because of it. He has thrown 11 pitches the last 8 days while we have guys like Mcfarland and Bracch are getting killed out there.

[MurphDogg]

Thrown 11 pitches the last 8 days or has pitched three of the last 4 days (including the last two)? Also, 9 days ago he threw 47 pitches so he was due for a couple days off.

[HokieOs]

I don't want him to use Matusz either. I have to wonder if the reason he's still around is because we're trying to see who will try to take him off our hands and for how much we can get.... I'm guessing one team is offering us a bag of baseballs... but we're holding out for a set of bats.
