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

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.

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 =*(

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.
