Something doesn't add up there.

It does say .656 but if you look at tied game, 1 run game, 2 run game 3 run game etc not one of those shows anything under .742

So how can that possibly be? Those stats do not make sense to me.

Close and late. Perhaps the other numbers are skewed by his time as a starter. He was likely only in close and late situations as a reliever (or in the rare occasions when he was pitching into the 7th as a starter in a close game).

Again I disagree. He puts up most of his "stats" in blowouts. In tight games he's totally unreliable.

"Brian Matusz plagued by inherited runners and right-handed batters in the 2015 season"

Unfortunately for the Orioles, this was hardly the only instance of Matusz having problems with inherited runners this season. At season's end, he had entered games with a total of 46 inherited runners. Of these runners, 17 would score while Matusz was in the game. That's a horribly high 37% of inherited runners scoring. Just looking at it gives me the urge to recoil in horror.
He single-handedly cost more games than any other O's reliever this year.

That number is even worse when you add in the inherited runner problem. By my count, there were an additional three games where Matusz allowed the game-deciding run to cross the plate: April 8, August 9, and September 7. That's seven losses heavily influenced by Matusz's pitching.

Buried deeper in the bullpen

Matusz's performance seems to have caught the attention of manager Buck Showalter, and not in a good way. The pattern of Matusz's usage shifted dramatically in 2015 compared to how he had been used in past years, with Matusz as a result finding himself in fewer and fewer key situations late in games.

Why do I have a feeling that we will suck on the road this year?

Sent from Neverneverland using James Hetfield's voice

Team is 4-6 after their 7-0 start, lost the series at Texas, lost the series at KC, and about to drop game one at TB. And it's primarily because of a lack of offense.

      This has to be one of the funniest posts in the entire thread, maybe of all time.

      Kyle Stowers 2024

      By Moose Milligan · Posted

      I've never been a big Stowers believer but I'd be happy to be wrong.  Dude deserves more at bats...I get it, it's a crowded situation but he's made the most of his at bats so far this year and has been mashing.   Going to be par for the course if he sits today after hitting a homer yesterday so I won't be surprised.  Gotta find out what you have in this dude though and so far he hasn't disappointed during this stretch in Baltimore.

      Keith Law has O's taking Tommy White at #22 in latest mock draft

      By RZNJ · Posted

      You stopped just shy of Hunter Harvey (2013) and Marcus Stroman (2012).   The fact is, going back to 2000, of those 24 picks at #22, 16 were pitchers.  Not many success stories.  Kolten Wong is the only notable college position players.  Colson Montgomery (22) is a top prospect but hitting .223 at AAA and far from a sure thing.  Colton Emerson, a HS SS chosen last year gets rave reviews but he’s got a long way to go.    So, not many success stories no matter which demographic you go with.  Position players are always going to be safer.

      It's  hard to say what Cowser or Stowers is or will be but I think Stowers deserves at least a couple of weeks of consistent ABs at this point. Cowser looks like he can't hit a breaking ball to save his life right now and after seeing a couple of those he swings right through the fastball. Stowers could be similar but let's find out.

      Cade Povich 2024

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I wasn’t able to watch all of his first start but in his second start, Povich was really, really good at locating his fastball at or above the top of the zone and his curve at or below the zone. I think the fact that it’s not a great fastball may get hitters to still swing at it at a high rate there, and even though it’s not going to get the same whiffs as a better fastball he’s been super effective getting pop-ups with it (which are actually an even better outcome than a whiff!). That’s why his hard hit rate, barrel rate and xERA are so low - similar to Suarez (although Suarez gets whiffs up there too). If Povich can consistently do that, work in the cutter for strikes and get whiffs on the curve, I think he can be successful even if the fastball is lacking.  So far I’ve only really seen Povich use his sweeper against lefties, and that’s just fine. Even if the league is getting better at hitting them, that’s always going to be an effective pitch against leftie and it’s his only pitch with a heavy platoon advantage. He just needs some combination of the cutter and change to be effective in-zone pitches for him against righties because he’s going to need to live at the top border with his 4-seamer and that will make it harder to reliably get strikes that way.  (Btw, I don’t put too much stock on the Stuff+ grades for changeups. Anecdotally, there are really very few changeups that grade well by Stuff+, the ones that do are more the screwball variety than a classic straight change without the forceful pronation. They’re very reliant on location and IMO that’s easier when you’re just trying to deaden the pitch rather than pronante for movement.)
