Lugo has done nothing at the plate..and hasnt exactly shined in the field either. Give me a young player who i know has a gamer mentality and always plays ther game hard. If he hits .220, well then, at least he would outhit Lugo. Turner may not be an answer temporarily or permanently, but Lugo is no future for this team either.Go Justin. Give us a spark.

I agree. I've been unimpressed with Lugo thus far and don't ever see that changing really.

[PrivateO]

I'm really looking forward to see if Turner or Montanez can be a spark-plug for this lineup.

[Yard Bird]

I'm just glad we get to see Matusz pitch this afternoon. He's been the brightest part of this team all season.

I'm also curious to see what happens in the bottom of the 9th, assuming there is one.

[8istheman]

I'm looking forward to see if anyone can be a spark. Go O's.

I wont be surprised if we don't hit this game and thats not a shot at our lineup. Anderson is excellent. Really an unknown on the East coast.

[Don_Aase_Fan]

Yay Matusz Day.

Always a good reason to tune it, no matter our record.

[JDubs]

I wont be surprised if we don't hit this game and thats not a shot at our lineup. Anderson is excellent. Really an unknown on the East coast.

I wouldn't call him an unknown. I figured that he would be in the Cy Young hunt this year before the season started.

Matusz goes 7 strong, and O's lose 4-3 or 3-2.. either way. The pen doesn't help again..

Just a prediction.

[Don Quixote]

I'll be keeping very loose tabs today. Hopefully something good happens.

[LA2]

Stepping out to do some shopping errands, but will definitely be back to follow the continued ascent of Brian Matusz. And some clutch O's hitting! :clap3:

[nevadaO]

That Luke Scott's bat commercial is all ready old...

[Wiet-Er-Minute!]

It looks like this game isn't on TV today either?!?! Really?

[nevadaO]

It looks like this game isn't on TV today either?!?! Really?

It's on MASN2.

[BaltBird 24]

Are the O's so bad that even MASN refuses to carry their games?
