Izturis and Matusz
The Os are playing Detroit tonight and Matusz just made his major league and Oriole debut. It’s only the top of the 7th inning and still premature to post a cheerful review of the game. However, Matusz finished five innings, with five strike-outs (if my math is right), surrendering only one run. He retired the fifth inning with a strike-out that was met by a touching standing ovation from his family members who flew to Detroit to support him.
If you’re reading this, then you understand. You’ll forgive me that though this is only one game, I can’t suppress a small little voice cheering “Woooohooo!” So many promises, so many disappointments, so many chilling Stanhouse flashbacks, so many injuries…Could he? Could he be the real thing?
In addition to Matusz nice debut, Isturis will easily be the player of the game. Stellar fielding, homer, two hits…
In no time, over enthusiastic people will be making World Series predictions about this team. Maybe even tomorrow night at an Orioles meetup in Charlotte.
