Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers, Aug 4, 2009, 7:05pm

Baltimore Orioles at Detroit Tigers, Aug 4, 2009 7:05 PM EDT


Brian Matusz, the 2nd third of the holy trinity of pitchers to make it to the big leagues.

Brian Matusz, the 2nd third of the holy trinity of pitchers to make it to the big leagues.

It's Brian Matusz (MATT-us, I have been told) time! Per Roch's blog, Brian will take the mound tonight wearing number 52. George's empty locker isn't even cold yet and they're giving away his number!

Brian makes what some on here believe to be an ill timed major league debut given his short time in the minors, and time will tell if that's the case. Here is what Kevin Goldstein had to say about that:

Despite throwing just 113 professional innings, scouts agree that Matusz is ready to compete in the majors, and while the Orioles remain mired in last place, they're given their fans various glimpses of a much brighter future throughout the year, and Matusz is yet another one of those points of light.

With Matusz pitching to Matt Wieters, the 2007 and 2008 #1 picks for the Orioles team up. I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's an exciting time to be an O's fan, even with all the losses.

Go O's!

I’ll double check it.

soo, slightly off topic

do we think berken will be replaced in the rotation, or still be there when his turn comes up on the 12th against Oakland. I may be able to go to that game

Do we need anyone

if Matusz stays up? He’s filling in for Bergesen, so when Bergy comes back he can take Berken’s spot. I don’t care if Berken starts in the meantime. Better than calling up Waters or something.

Thur: Hernandez
Fri: Berken??
Sat: CT
Sun: Matusz
Mon: Guts
Tue: Hernandez
Wed: Berken??
Thur: off day
Fri: Bergy can come back

Berken

It looks like Berken will indeed be pitching on Friday according to the whispers Ive been hearing. Unfortunately, they sent Kam back down again…. so the writing is on the wall =*(

by Wieters Wieners on Aug 4, 2009 6:58 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Dude, if you're hearing whispers

you should really seek medical attention immediately. Auditory hallucinations can be a sign of many serious illnesses or conditions.

Unless you work at the Warehouse, then it’s weird that they discuss the rotation in less than a regular voice.

I just get annoyed

at people who pretend to “know” what a team is going to do because “they hear things.” No, they don’t. ONly people who work for the Orioles or are part of their traveling media would “hear” things.

It’s OK to be a fan making speculation based on observable facts. Doesn’t mean you “hear” things.

That many are trying to get in on the ground floor. It’s not a mystery that a player like Wieters is going to make some money, even a year or two before he comes out.

Not saying that is true of Mrs. Wieters, but I’m sure it comes into play occasionally.

4 straight outs

in two pitches or less..

Penny: "Yes, dinner’s here, and I’m having some. I’ve been having leftovers at the restaurant for four days, and I just wanted something different. So sue me!"
Sheldon: "Forgive me, Penny, but that would be the very definition of a frivolous lawsuit."

If pitch count is the only issue he has had
