Late last night the Baltimore Orioles announced that former LHP Brian Matusz passed away yesterday morning. Matusz, 37, was drafted by the Orioles in 2005, rose to the big leagues in 2009, and pitched for the O’s through the 2016 season. He later briefly pitched for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Whatever you thought about Matusz during his tenure in Baltimore, this is tragic. 37 years old. My deepest of condolences to all who knew and loved him.

Welcome to Birdland Crush! Yes folks, for the record it's a spin off of the popular summer beverage native to the Mid-Atlantic Region - "orange crush." Nevertheless, I've been covering Orioles' baseball since 2009 in some capacity, and it's basically the greatest gig of all time so far as I'm concerned! But for those who aren't familiar with my work or bio, I'm familiar with pretty much every sport out there. But baseball is king - we all know that. So my hope is that you come back and check in after every Orioles' game, and throughout the off-season. I'm always on duty!
