Matusz, de Aza, McFarland, Lavarnway

[BohKnowsBmore]

Heard that-Matusz sounds all but gone...

Also funny how they were taking about D specifically with Manny and Clevenger and both had a miscue almost immediately after.

Diametric opposites in level I am concerned for the d of those two.

DD on 105.7 the fan broadcast of game vs. STL.

Talking up Matusz as a starter. Specifically ability to throw four pitches for strikes.

Mentioned prevelance of texting among gms these days. Snider trade apparently finalized via text. Hard to tell how much was fully serious.

Did he find his changeup? It's a shame that no matter how well he pitches between now and the end of ST, he's as good as gone. It's too bad he couldn't get it together after several seasons worth of second chances. We were all so optimistic after that great rookie year.

I've heard people here raving that he absolutely has but he got away with a couple fat ones today. The first one was at 79 mph and the second at 80 mph, but both of them were chest high. So, better with his differential but he was lucky neither batter chose to swing.

He did touch 90 with the FB and the slider looked crisp.

It is easier to get away with hanging one if you have the velocity differential.

Both guys may have been fooled by the "change of pace".

Held the fort, and kept us in the game today.

Not bad.

But how did he look?

He looked lucky didn't he?

I didn't think so. He's throwing the CH more and more so he must be feeling confident with it and he looked to be commanding it with some armside run.

And I'm not a Matusz believer.

Was a reference to a certain poster who claims to have never seen Matusz look dominant. That he looks shaky even when the results are good.

Another good (albeit brief) game for Matusz tonight.

2 up, 2 down.

On back-to-back days, also.

Roch states that Ryan Lavarnway figures to make at least one start for the Orioles during their four-game series against the Red Sox.

Lavarnway talks about his return to Fenway Park, where he used to play with his former team.
