Or the Davis effect got him?

Right now I don't see ownership spending much money. Maybe when we finish paying Davis...In 2037.

LOL. Here's Manny's numbers so far in ST... .148 .179 .222

Schoop is hitting better than Manny so far in ST. Machado is off to a very slow start.

Huge difference compared to Spring Training this year.

Joe Trezza ✔@JoeTrezz I asked Mike Elias how much service time hurdles played into the decision to option Austin Hays and Anthony Santander. "Zero," he said. "Not at all?" "No," he said. "It's not even relevant." #Orioles 7 11:11 AM - Mar 17, 2019 OK its not service time manipulation, and its not Analytics. What is it?

They know that Mullins put up these numbers last year with 191 PA...235/.312/.359 and all of baseball knows now to run on his weak arm.

I dont understand Analytics... Hays .351/.385/.892/1.277 Cut Santander .333/.389/.697/1.086 Cut Mullins .139/.244/.361/.605 Not Cut Cut

If Analytics had any bearing on this team, wouldn't Davis would be cut?

Brewers outfielder Christian Yelich on Machado... “One time is an accident, Repeated over and over and over again, it’s a dirty play. It’s a dirty play by a dirty player." https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2018/10/17/christian-yelich-calls-manny-machado-dirty-player-after-game-incident-machado-says-he-is-just-playing-baseball/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.e99b5954b96e

Pretty cool that Pearce gets Boston's all time World Series record of 4 RBI and a Homerun in a game. Tied with Yaz and Ortiz.

I wonder if LA will want to sign Manny to a huge contract when he carries the label of a dirty player with all the you tube videos to prove it?

Looks on purpose to me, why would your spikes be that high over the base aiming for someones leg? And MLB already fined Machado for running into Aquilar. Lets see what they say about spiking Pearce. Manny also hit catcher Vazquez in the head with his bat last night. Lots of bad stuff happens with Machado...

Purposely trying to hurt ballplayers is bad news. Pedroia cant even play now. Is MLB going to allow Manny to hurt someone else?

Apparently Manny did not learn his lesson after MLB fined him $10,000 for running into Brewers first baseman Aquilar in the NLCS.

Yes he did. Another dirty play attempt to hurt someone. It's getting pitiful.

Can the same be said about Machado?

Well, Manny did say..."I'm not Johnny Hustle"

Anyone else remember when the O's had Justin Turner?

Cobb leads the majors with 14 losses, and is well on his way to a 20 loss season.

Correction to above. The Orioles drafted Hader in 2012. Not 2014. Now he pitches for the Milwaukee Brewers. Maybe the best reliever in the majors. Already has an all time Major League record... "On April 30, 2018, Hader became the first pitcher ever to record 8 strikeouts in an outing that was less than 3 innings long. He recorded a 2.2-inning save against the Cincinnati Reds where he faced 9 batters with 8 strikeouts and 1 walk."

Josh Hader. Orioles drafted him in 2014. Maryland boy. We traded him in a trade for Bud Norris. Now Hader is 24. Games 28, ERA 1.30, IP 41.2, K's 81, Sv 7, One of the best relievers in mlb.

Based on the report... could be anything from laxity (looseness of the muscle) to a complete dislocation of the joint (torn rotator).

Well there is that. Lol.

Cano broke his hand a couple days ago, so he wasn't going to play for a while anyhow. It's not a punishment or suspension at all...MLB is what it is.
