2/28 Marlins/Os

[PaulFolk]

Trembley makes a pitching change with two outs. And here's the pitcher we've all been waiting for...Scott Chiasson!

[BillySmith]

Did Matusz reach a pitch count? Was a reason given for the Chiasson coming in?

[El Gordo]

Why did they take out Matusz? Pitch count?

Pitch count, I would assume.

Chiasson strikes out whoever the heck was batting. Inning over. Seventh-inning stretch time.

No - it was a match up thing. Whoever the heck was batting had never gotten a hit off of Chiasson. On the other hand, Matusz had never gotten whoever the heck was batting out.

About what?

Hanley Ramirez botches a Murphy grounder to give the O's a leadoff runner. Former Athletic Kiko Calero now pitching for the Marlins.

Blake Davis instantly singles. Two on, none out.

It's true. WTHWB has terrible career numbers against Chiasson.

[Guest BrettMeister86]

No need to be worried Matusz and Trembley were all smiles coming off the mound. It was a pitch count issue. He did pitch almost two innings he probably had a 30 pitch limit.

[BillySmith]

worried....

I believe he had three strike outs, so he may have thrown quite a few pitches. Maybe a righty was up, and Chiasson is a righty.

[PaulFolk]

Montanez grounds into a double play. Pitcher's best friend, batter's arch-nemesis.

Now a runner at third with two outs for Brazell.

[JTrea81]

It's true. WTHWB has terrible career numbers against Chiasson.

Matchups in ST? Trembley must really want to win these games...

Dude, I was joking. There isn't actually a player named Whoever The Heck Was Batting.

[PaulFolk]

The third baseman drops a foul popup to give Brazell new life, but he only uses it to strike out. On to the 8th inning. O's still lead, 4-1.

Manfred said earlier that Reimold position was bat. Is he really that bad a fielder?
