O's sign former Red Sox lefty Hideki Okajima

[Spy Fox]

I heard the name and instantly thought, I feel like we used to crush that guy when he was on the Sox..

Turns out my memory was pretty accurate. He had a 3.09 ERA in 266 career games, but 5.70 in 30 innings against the O's.

Wow, that should be Orosco. I hate smart phones.

Owosso is a word?

Was really hoping this was going to be Craig Breslow from the title.

Your smart phone apparently has a lisp.

Never know... I trust Dan's eye on pitching pretty high. Almost Bible.

When Orosco debuted many of us were babies, or not even conceived, so I figured that was how he pronounced the name when he was 11 months old.

(Ok, so I had to go check and I was 7 when Orosco made his pro debut in 1978. He retired after the 2003 season.)

He only pitched seven innings in Japan last year. Maybe he was hurt? Hasn't pitched 50 innings in a season since 2011. Little downside to taking a flier.

Welp, Matusz is the 5th starter then. :vader:

Oh no. Not that. Matusz is not starter material. IMO

I was born in 78

Dang, makes me feel old, since I am older than he is.

[Ruzious]

When they said he was a 7 inning pitcher, I didn't know they meant 7 innings per year!

File this signing under - It probably can't hurt to look but I ain't expecting anything.
