Why Not? Perennial All-Star

Why Not?

I know. Why not DFA him before the suspension is upheld? Now we're stuck with 24 players for 8 games, just to keep Brian Matusz. I would have DFA'd him.

I don't believe that is within the rules. The Players' Association would have something to say as well.

Also, he's a quality MLB pitcher. You aren't going to give him away.

He was in the past and might be in the future.

In the now he is not quality.

Matusz had two days tacked on for being stupid. He knew Smith had been caught for the same thing with the substance on the same spot and did it anyway. Just dumb.

I agree with your first point but Brian Matusz certainly isn't a quality MLB pitcher.

Just a penalty.

The rule is there, but the specific 8 game penalty is not defined by the rule. That is completely arbitrary and up to MLB and the Commissioner's office. It is hard to see how they can have one guy get 6 games the same day another guy gets 8 games. But I think Matusz is history with this team. I think DD will be working out some type of deal and that either Cabral, McFarland, or Wesley Wright if he ever gets ready will be the bullpen left handed type and replace Matusz.

Three Run Homer Hangout Veteran Council

I'm happy to see Navarro replacing Everth Cabrera. Not happy but not surprised about Mike Wright.

I hope Cabral can stay more than a day. The O's need a lefty specialist with Matusz out, and Cabral might give the O's the option of DFAing Matusz once his suspension is over.

Calling a "do over" doesn't make sense to me.

It wasn't a do over, they restarted the game after the home run. There had been two outs, so the game would have been over if the homer stood. Then Billy was Billy and played Guidry in center and Mattingly at third for an out.

      Elias: Hyde will be back

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.

      Elias: It's on me

      Again, I'm not sure what the point of contention is. They won 91 games and lost in the Wildcard round.  That puts them smack in the middle of what I forecast as their most likely outcome, though I did hope for more playoff success.  I'm not sure how that is proof I misevaluated anything. Further, again, lecturing me about the importance of depth, when I'm one of the biggest hoarders on this board, and you're one of the biggest opposite of that, is ironic to say the least.

      Aaron Judge whined about it so I’m a fan.  The older I get, the more I think people just exist to look for confirmation biases. In all avenues of life. Paul Simon wrote “a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.” I’m sure if we beat the Royals and advanced and Walltimore robbed three or four homers from the Royals, we’d be extolling its virtues and how great it is.    But that didn’t happen. If anything, there were a couple instances where, if anything, it worked against us.    So here we are.

      I mean I wouldn’t be concerned about her opinions on which FA to sign or which players are best. But, she’s definitely a big fan and is just passing off info given to her. If it didn’t track into some other things that make sense, I wouldn’t pay it much mind. Of course, someone with an agenda could’ve just told her those things to spread rumors. Maybe Rick Dempsey haha.

      Do you think any team is too stupid to account for home park dimensions when evaluating pitchers?
