What if he actually does well? I have to confess to you, I am not a big enough person to wish him well in this start, or in any start he might make for the Cubs. If even Brian Matusz, colossal disappointment that he generally was, could be revived by another organization, what then?

 

Add that to the apparent salvaging of Miguel Gonzalez with the White Sox and the well-documented Jake Arrieta breakout over the past couple of years with the Cubs, and the only reasonable conclusion that one could draw from that is that everyone responsible for developing and evaluating pitchers in the entire Orioles organization would have to be fired, along with everyone responsible for the continuing employment of those people. Some stains cannot be erased.

Cards lose and Pirates behind. Would be a good day to pick up a game!

[Agony and Ivy]

The people worried about facing Felix are the same kinda people that think the Braves stole superstar Matt Kemp from San Diego.

Matusz had to be called up by a certain date.

 

I'm going to need to see documentation of this. I've seen multiple people claim it, but nothing from anyone who actually has knowledge of the situation.

I SAID SOMEONE WHO KNOWS SOMETHING! :wink:

[Derwood]

Wait, his name isn't pronounced "mah-TOOZ"?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Great play, Willy.

[Cubswin11]

Matusz's stuff is pretty underwhelming

[UMFan83]

Welp back to the drawing board on finding that elusive 6th starter

[Derwood]

Whoopsy

[Bryants Disco Ball]

So ducking stupid of him.

[mul21]

Seems like that was a predictable outcome.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Well, maybe he's not Arrieta.

[Butterscup]

Oh well it was worth a shot. He'll be gone by tomorrow

[Cubswin11]

He sucks

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

Maybe we should stop picking up other teams garbage.

[CubinNY]

Matusz suuuuuuucks.

[17 Seconds]

maybe just pitch our 5 good starters until we have the division actually locked up

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Maybe we should stop picking up other teams garbage.

 

Every team in the history of baseball has done this.

[UMFan83]

I know this is overreaction but I feel like after about 18 months of being virtually flawless the FO and Maddon seem to be making many moves that I simply am not a big fan of. Edited August 1, 2016 by UMFan83

So is there a way to see pitch locations for previous at bats in the new MLB Gameday? They got rid of the old one (which was the good one) which allowed you to view the pitch locations for all ABs in the game.

[Cubswin11]

I would assume Montgomery and Edwards will go multiple innings tonight

[NotSoSober]

this guy has nothing

[Bryants Disco Ball]

All I ask is that he makes the rest of the game worth watching by the time this half inning is over.
