Brian Matusz suspension (8 Days Confirmed, Back Today)

[El Gordo]

I suspect this guy from the Marlins would still make them check.

He can't make them he can only ask. And the umpires would refuse.

[Barnaby Graves]

I'll add a third.

Appearance.

Matusz doesn't particularly look like an athlete, he gets red faced in the heat and his body language isn't good.

I think stuff like that, fair or not, pays a part in how someone is perceived.

Yep. Ruddy-faced LOOGY with Mark Hendrickson stuff. Snoozetastic!

Can't they make it 88 games? It was an illegal substance, PED....lol.

I would DFA Matusz today. That way the team isn't handicapped for the DH. It might hurt him finding a major league job or getting claimed. Probably get called up in September somewhere to finish his suspension.

I don't see them getting away with it.

[TouchemAll]

I hope the O's ask for and appeal and 88 games instead of 8. :mwahaha:

I feel like there have been instances of a player being made a free agent before having to serve their suspension.

I would rather lose him then deal with a short bench.

I just don't think it will be that easy.

Matusz just killed us tonight, again, not being able to get either Rasmus or Valbuena. After Tommy bows up and given us a chance to get out of it, Brian has one job to do and he can't do it. Seriously over Brian Matusz - let's just hope Wesley Wright gets back healthy sometime in June and can fill the gap.

Wright is on the 60 day DL. He's not coming back anytime soon.

Davis, Jones, Pearce killed the O's long before Matusz got involved. He just added to the misery.

Get off his back. No earned runs again. It's not his fault he couldn't get one of two lefties out. That's not his job.

He can come back in two weeks, no?

That's retroactive to like mid-April, though, right? Which would make mid-June a possibility? I consider that "soon", may be mistaken, though.

He will be back in a little more than two weeks.

Is he pitching?
