Manny didnt go into details, he told a reporter it was because of an old incident in the minors, and they talked later in the game, and they were good. He said what happens on the field, stays on the field.

Maybe it was the other way around. Manny said it was because of their previous history. Sounds like it was more on Aguilar.

I think most people are overlooking the fact that Aguilar and Manny had issues in minor league ball. 10K is a very very minor slap on the wrist. Way to go for MLB being such an astute authority and keeping their players in line.

13th inning of a playoff game, would inspire most players to play their hardest.

Manny was quoted about it being an issue from something that happened in the minors.

Manny didnt demand to play SS. what part of being a realist allows you to twist the facts?

classic Machado hustle and playing the game like he can.

what I meant was, tricks like that have been around long before A-Rod did it. things happen all the time on the field between the players during the season, that we never catch on to, Sometimes it somebody on the bench yelling go at the running holding at third trying to tag up and score after the ball is caught. Even stupid things like the hidden ball trick has been pulled off at the major league level.

My Md high school baseball coach was teaching this back in the 1970s as a way to confuse the runners. I lost count of how many maryland state baseball championships his teams won back then. But, heck lets blame A-Rod.

I want Manny to stay in the NL, less chance I will have to watch him play the birds,.

My #1 team is the Orioles. My #2 team is the Orioles My #3 team is the Orioles. ......

If the Astros make the big dance, then we get to see more Kate.

Very good and value points.

With the lack of contract renegotiation to Manny and Schoop, 2 of the key core. It almost makes me wonder, if the plan to blow up the team was set before this disastrous season got underway.

Gausman sure hasn't fared too well, in this post season.

Even the causal fan knew he couldnt play anything more than emergency SS, why the heck did they trade for him, anyway???????

He wasnt playing full-time before the playoffs, so I wouldnt expect him to get more playing time in the playoffs.

Im an Oriole fan, I really can't root for any other team, regardless of who it is. I will watch some of the games, with a distached view of things, and just watching it for the baseball aspect of it. I wish our guys the best of luck, as they play the game they love.

Not sure if this is good news. Part of me is thinking, if they found something, that could explain the problem and they fix it and he comes back and pitches for the team, But, with no issues, is good, but then again, it points to an overall frailness of his makeup and likely to repeat itself.

Good points, but, I do think there was times that Nick played hurt, hurt his own numbers, and probably the team too.

Joe spent 3 years in the military during the war, and missed half a season at 34, Nick only missed a few weeks in one season, in spite of being hurt a few times, which

I wouldnt want a single minor league player to not think they could help the parent club at some point.
