Yankees 11, Orioles 10: Brian Matusz's ERA goes up again

PrintThe good news about today's game is that the offense exploded for ten runs against Freddy Garcia and the Yankees bullpen. The bad news is that Brian Matusz had another terrible outing, giving up five runs in just 1.1 innings and raising his ERA on the season to 9.84. The bullpen wasn't much better, and the end result was an 11-10 loss, the O's 84th of the year.
The Orioles got on the board first with a solo home run from Nick Markakis in the first inning, but the 1-0 lead didn't last long. Matusz gave up two runs in the bottom of the first, one on a home run from Mark Teixeira. But the Orioles struck back in the top of the second, getting to Freddy Garcia for four more runs.
Vladimir Guerrero led off the second inning with a single, and after a double from Mark Reynolds, Robert Andino knocked in Vlad with a single. Reynolds moved to third and scored on a passed ball. Ryan Adams followed that with a single, then Kyle Hudson hit a ball in front of the plate. Andino ran home from third and a bad throw from Teixeira allowed him to score. A single by J.J. Hardy knocked in the fourth run of the inning and gave the Orioles a three-run lead.
And how did Matusz respond to the lead? He walked Jesus Montero on four pitches to start. Then after Brett Gardner was called out on strikes on a pitch that probably should have been called ball four, Matusz gave up back-to-back doubles to Derek Jeter and Curtis Granderson and was pulled for Chris Jakubauskas. Oh, Brian Matusz. What is wrong with you? You make me so sad!
Jack O'Boskie wasn't much better as he loaded the bases on a walk and a HBP, then gave up a grand slam to Robinson Cano. The end result was six runs by the Yankees in the second inning and an 8-5 Yankees lead.
The O's offense got right back into it with two runs in the top of the third courtesy of Reynolds' 32nd home run of the year, and they tied it in the fifth on a home run from Robert Andino.
Sadly the Yankees untied it in the bottom of the fifth with none other than Jim Johnson on the mound. Montero connected for his first major-league home run and the Yankees were back on top, 9-8. JJ was still pitching in the seventh inning when Montero hit his second major-league home run, adding two more runs to the score.
After hitting a leadoff double, Hardy scored the O's 9th run of the game on a single by Markakis. Nick moved up a base when Yankees right fielder Chris Dickerson dropped the ball, but was thrown out trying to get to third. Oh, Nick.
After Troy Patton pitched a scoreless bottom of the eighth, the Orioles just needed to score two runs off of Mariano Rivera to keep the game going. They did not, but they did make it exciting. Singles by Mark Reynolds and Ryan Adams, combined with a stolen base from Reynolds, resulted in the O's tenth run of the game. But then Hardy struck out with the tying run on third to end the game.

What bothered me was that it was incident while he was pitching

This is exactly what is wrong with you friggin people
Nobody should be able to “earn” a wider strike zone, that’s why we have fucking rules…

See the original post
we are talking specifically about Mo’s outing. There were some close pitches that were called balls to Adams and Reimold, then pitches that were similar but even further out of the strike zone were called strikes to JJ. Mo gets more calls when the stakes are higher, but he sure as shit shouldn’t, nor should anyone.

Yeah if you are successful they should make the game easier for you.
That makes a lot of fucking sense.

The most storied two home runs in the history of the number two.

Jesus Montero is the new Brett Lawrie

Oh please
They’re having fun. Montero is the third ranked prospect in all of baseball and has a ton of potential, of course Yankees fans are going to be excited

We're not here to be fair to Yankees fans.

No playoffs for Bowie,
despite their win, so did Richmond…

I want to apologize to all Orioles fans...
You see, during Spring Training, I traded for Brian Matusz for my fantasy team. Now, my team has never finished with a winning record (head-to-head) and has never finished higher than 10th out of 14. My team has single-handedly ruined the careers of many players, including Jake Arrieta, Ubaldo Jimenez, and nearly Nick Markakis (until I dropped him in early June).
My apologies. I will make sure that Matusz is back in shape for next season by not being on my team.
No, Brian Matusz was some scrub we picked off waivers a few years ago.
We were hoping he’d be good just because we would have looked like geniuses by turning nothing into something. Oh, well, Matusz was never a valuable piece of our team or our foundation, we can just cut our losses.
Seriously, though, yes, he was one of our top prospects. He was actually one of the top pitching prospects in baseball. But you know what they say about those things.
Setting that aside
do you follow baseball and how ANY teams deal with their prospects? He was the fourth overall pick in 2008, the number 25 prospect in all of baseball entering 2009, and the number 5 prospect in all of baseball entering 2010 and then had a 4.3 ERA in the AL East in his first full major league season. Even a casual baseball fan knows who he is and knows that regardless of how shitty he’s done this year they aren’t going to release him when he’s only 24 years old and isn’t a free agent until 2016. Get it together man. The O’s may be incredibly stupid, but they aren’t insane.

Ok setting aside my opinion about that
Do you have no idea how free agency works?

He probably thinks that only exists for the Yankees to buy stuff.
Okay, now I’m being dickish. Sorry.

yankee fans are generally just douches
It’s why I went south instead of east when picking my team growing up in NJ.

yeah I mean I hate to generalize
It’s not everyone, but I’m amazed at the type of idiocy I’ve heard and witnessed at a Yankees game by Yankee fans vs. say a Cubs or Orioles game

Plenty of room on this side of the barricade.
And you’re a lot less likely to get banned unless you really deserve it.

maybe its arrogance that comes with being a yankee fan or in new york city, i dont know why they are like that, they are mostly jerks, they will probably have someone come here and tell otehrs that i wrote this on here
even the moderators there are jerks
Are you posting to the voices in your head?

I got bored and looked around at PSA and OTM for a bit.
You think when if the Orioles become good Camden Chat will shit like this?
Well, we get some weird fanposts here already.

Yeah, but...
“Fire the GM who built this team into a perennial contender with two World Series wins in the middle of a successful season!”
We'd kill to have Theo Epstein
He’d put a metaphoric shotgun to Peter’s head and say “We need this, this, and this, open your fucking checkbook, NOW!” Theo Epstein is a young GM who realizes that baseball kind of sucks now with no salary cap. That’s more than I can say about Andy MacPhail.
Not really an upgrade
But I’d rather be stuck with a Yankee fan than with a Red Sox fan. It’s not their SNblog is much better when it comes to doucheness.
And might I add
Damn, son, just how many SBN blogs HAVE you been banned from?

He's been banned from 10 SBN blogs.
That’s kind of an impressive streak.

where does it show how many your banned from
i got banned from nets, wolves, mariners, athletics, yankees, mets, red sox off top of my head
I know, because I also have the power to ban you.
So don’t make us make it 11 blogs.

okay, can i ask you a question
do you think they unfairly ban people at certain blogs
No.
You don’t get banned from ten blogs without deserving it.
Also, this is not the place to air your grievances about other blogs. If that’s all you are here to do then we will make it 11 bans.

You know, after you've been banned from, oh, I don't know, 6 blogs...
Didn’t you think, just for a second… “Maybe it’s me?”

Yeah
I hate those people. They only gave me 3+ warnings before banning me for trolling other blogs. Oh, wait….

Pedro Florimon Jr. sighting in MLB!
According to O’s Insider on The Sun, there were some additional roster move callups after today’s game:
Orioles president of baseball ops Andy MacPhail just confirmed that Chris Davis will come off the disabled list and join the team in time for tomorrow night’s game at Yankee Stadium. In addition, the Orioles are recalling pitchers Clay Rapada and Jeremy Accardo and infielders Pedro Florimon, Jr. and Josh Bell.
http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/orioles/blog/2011/09/davis_off_dl_four_more_recalle.html
Rapada and Accardo aren’t on the 40 man, so time’s up for a couple of other players, it seems.

All it takes
Is two good pitchers, the 2001 Arizona Diamondbacks taughs us that. Since Moose left, the O’s simply have not had good starting pitching

Matusz should consider a career change
He hurt his oblique, which you need to pitch, and his velocity went down. He’s NEVER, repeat NEVER, going to get to MLB caliber again for a long, long time. Time for him to give up.
Just an opinion
but I don’t think his oblique has anything to do with his velocity drop.

matusz should work out with dylan bundy this winter
instead of tillman. i think if he puts on some weight and settles down with a fresh start matusz could be good again.
