Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees, Sep 12, 2009 1:05 PM EDT
1:00 games on Saturdays trip me out.
Like Chris Tillman, Brian Matusz is making his first start against the Yankees this year. Matusz has looked great of late, like the pitcher we all watched giddily in the minors. I'm really looking forward to how he does against the Yankees today. It's strange to look forward to a game against the Yankees, but I'm excited to see how Brian handles going up against such a good team in an atmosphere like Yankee Stadium.
Today will be the fourth time the Orioles have faced A.J. Burnett this year. He got the better of them in the first two starts, allowing just 2 runs each time. In his last start, however, Burnett didn't look great. He pitched into the 6th inning but gave up 6 runs on 11 hits, with HR allowed to Luke Scott and Felix Pie. The Orioles still lost that game, though, since Chris Ray made an appearance and we all know what happens when Chris Ray gets anywhere near the Yankees.
Melvin Mora and Felix Pie, both injured last night, aren't in the lineup. Pie had to leave in the middle of an at bat last night with what Gary Thorne reported as a back spasm, and Mora was HBP on his elbow.
Let's Go O's!

Don't know if this has been discussed before
But can someone please for Chrissakes show Rick Dempsey how to dress himself? He looks like his mom laid that suit out on the bed this morning, and his mom probably doesn’t see that well at her age.

At least he stopped wearing a jersey over his suit
He used to do these studio segments where he’d demonstrate something and he’d put on a jersey over his shirt and tie and tuck it into his suit pants. It looked hideous.

There's more to it than just IP
High pitch count innings, runners on base, etc. all factor into it. Matusz breezed through the minors, so he hasn’t had your average season. I’m not saying we should ride him like an old mule, but there is more to it than +30 IP

I know there's a lot of data on this
But I think they should include pitches per inning as well as just innings. I mean Matusz and Tillman were probably throwing a ton of really easy 10 pitch innings all year in the minors since they both had ridiculous WHIPs. If they are plus 50 innings, but not that far above in pitches it doesn’t really matter. Innings are not the important thing in my opinion.

Well he hasn't pitched from the stretch a lot this season
So less high stress pitches thrown. But he’s probably close to done. I’d be limiting the length of his starts at this point.
