Juan Samuel talks with the media following the O's 7-5 loss to the Marlins
Matt Wieters wasn't bunting on his own, right?
"No, no, I just wanted Wieters to bunt there," Samuel said. "That was my decision. That's what I wanted to do."
Left-hander Brian Matusz gave up two home runs in the third inning, raising his total to nine in his last seven starts.
"Like I've been saying, these are young guys and they're learning up here. I'm sure he's learning," Samuel said.
"We've seen him make some pitches down and away. Unfortunately, he left those pitches up. But those guys are learning and they're trying to make pitches."
