You paying for your internet by the megabyte?

He pitched in the 8th in 31 of 63 appearances in 2014, 27 of his 58 appearances in 2015.

In 2015, he entered the game in the 8th 22 times last year, 12 times in the 7th, 7 times in the 9th, 5 times in extras and 12 times in the 6th or earlier.

Of those 31, how many did we have the lead in and of those games, how many did we keep the lead?

I doubt it was very many at all.

This is a what have you done for me lately sport.

Ask Miguel Gonzalez what 2013 and 2014 were worth to him.

You are willfully dismissing stats that don't fit into your preconceived notions. Yeah, Matusz allowed more inherited runners last year but he also had a very good WHIP and the best strikeout rate (10.3) of his career.

MATUSZ WAS NOT BAD LAST YEAR. He was bad tonight, and bad in his first outing but he has otherwise been a decent reliever. Sorry if that doesn't fit in your belief system.

I'm not doing any more homework for you. You are the one that is presenting falsehoods about how he doesn't pitch late in games. You figure it out.

    • They look like they already tinkered with his knuckle curve.  Not as much break but still sharp and he was actually pretty consistent with it.  It’s a SSS but his overall control looks much better with Seattle.  
    • I mean, he's not a closer. That's on Seattle for trying to use him like that in a 1-0 game. He's a solid middle reliever, but shouldn't be overextended into high leverage like that. 
    • I had never heard of Luke Dickerson before.  His HS is about an hour away from me.  Baseball America does a top 500 ranking.  I thought I’d find him in the top 100.  Nope.  I searched by “Luke” and he popped up at #311.  That’s some late riser!   Here’s the write up.   Is he supposed to be in top 2 rounds consideration? 311. Luke Dickerson SS Ht: 6'0" | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Age: null School: Morris Knolls HS, Rockaway, N.J. Commit/Drafted: Virginia Age At Draft: 18.9 Dickerson has been one of the better offensive performers among high school hitters in the northeast, which along with his athleticism has piqued the interest of scouts. Dickerson, who won a hockey state championship in March, has a strong, compact frame and plus speed. Scouts highest on him see an offensive-minded righthanded hitter who has shown solid feel for hitting and for the strike zone with the ability to use the middle of the field, along with an uptick in power production this spring. Dickerson has played shortstop but has experience in the center field as well, with second base or the outfield potential fits for him long term.
    • Santander has not had an off day since 5/30. Tomorrow would be would a good day to gives Stowers a RF start and Santander a bench day. Did it yesterday with Mounty it also could work with Hays or Mullins. The could easily get him 3 or 4 starts a week, whether or not they do is another question.  
    • He is a starter filling in for an injury and 6 man rotation.  He won’t be a starter when Kremer comes back and we go to 5 man rotation.  He is the only guy that has started a game this season and not given you 6 innings at least 1 times.  That includes guys like Means, Wells, Povich Kremer & Irvin.  You can’t be a starter on a contending team and never go at least 6 innings, that is how you do wear out a bullpen having to get 10+ outs every turn through.  
    • We should trade for Crochet. He has already exceeded his previous innings pitched. We put him in the bullpen for a couple of months to strengthen the pen and save his arm. Build him back up to start for the stretch run and playoffs if needed. Next year, when Bautista is back, he becomes a top tier starter again. He solves our bullpen concerns for this year and starts next year.
    • Yes, 109 is the key... anything below that is just, well, meh.
