Really looking forward to see how Matusz looks in a full start. Here's hoping for the best.

Just bought tickets and will be rolling up to the game from College Park.

I'm more excited to see Matusz pitch than any other starter in our rotation. Him moving past last season's failures and being the guy we saw at the end of 2010 would be just about as big of a boost as this team could hope to get moving forward.

The last pitcher to show promise in his debut and then have a season similar to Matusz 2011 was Halladay. we can only hope to have him work out that way but it is possible that the O's may still see a very positive season out of him. Have some faith in Buck, he seems happy with his work to this point

Today is the first day of the rest of Matusz's career.
¡Hasta la vista, pelota!

I like it. He worked hard to get back to this point. Today he gets to put 2011 behind him.

Nice. Always a chance of a ball or two in those LFLB seats. Lots of NY fans around you?

Lots of guys to respect in the Yankees lineup, but the only one I really 'fear' is Cano.

The physical improvement to Matusz is obvious. Gets strike 2 to Swisher on a nice breaking ball.
