4/24: In Matusz We Trust

I hate that I can't stop rooting for this team. I really need to take a break from watching these God forsaken games.

I only subject myself to Matusz starts nowadays..

I feel your pain.

Bye Dave. If the season is a marathon, we wheezed, collapsed and croaked after .000000000002 miles of strenuous...sleepwalking. And you gotta pay for that.

Not all your fault. But enough. Best of luck.

Derp derp if you're looking for help in the bullpen, Koji is recovering from a really tender hangnail derp derp.

Blah blah blah. Ya, Koji is the savior, that'll fix everything.

Seriously, if Matt Albers is still on this team by tomorrow I will be mad. I have seen enough of this guy. Trade him for a bag of balls or something.

That's asking for a bit much, isn't it?

[UMDTerrapins]

The funny stuff in these threads help me cope with all the losing. It's always nice to know that other people feel the same pain.

Same here. That and alcohol. As soon as Albers came in I went for the fridge.

If Matt Albers was being brought in to relieve Matt Albers in games that Matt Albers was brought in to relieve in then Matt Albers ERA would be 100+.

Postscript to this thought; is Kam Mickolio Matt Albers? Will Matt Albers kill Kam Mickolio? Would he then be killing himself?

Post postscript; Watching this season is like watching reruns of the Soap TV series, what bizarre nonsense thing can happen next?

Anywhere to find what the bullpen ERA is? I know our team ERA is quite high, but our SP has been pretty solid.

w00t... 1st and 2nd. We better get something out of this or I'm turning to NBA for the evening...

[O-The-Memories]

Curious, what was the bad decision there? Going to the bullpen at all or choosing the cold hand?

We could all see that Matusz was tiring. His pitches were up, and either over the middle or tailing outside. That makes it pretty clear that a pitcher needs to be removed.

What you don't do is bring in a guy who has consistently looked awful this year. Especially when he's got no command and runners on base. Why not bring in Berken or Hendrickson there?

That's all a moot point if we have a competent bullpen.

[alaniee]

The one thing I really don't understand is Berken/Hendrickson have been pretty good in the bullpen, however, I haven't seen them used very much. I've seen Albers, Meredith an awful lot even though they've stunk it up pretty much every single time.

NHL Playoffs.

I'm not a fan of NHL really, but I was watching Washingtons game yesterday with some friends. I'd rather that very much over this product the O's are putting out.... :cussing:
