Not sure how I can equate a banana to bad playing.

He is ticked off with the way the Giants are playing (getting killed at that point late in the game, 8th inning), looks over and sees a banana sitting there grabs it and chucks it. Probably drunk.

Very plausible IMO, but who knows.

My girlfriend is black and I am white. I asked her about this and she sent me this:

http://offthebench.nbcsports.com/2011/04/23/orioles-luke-scott-throws-banana-chips-at-dominican-teammate-to-remind-him-to-not-be-a-savage/

I absolutely despise Luke Scott. In all my years of being an Oriole fan-I have only written 2 angry things to the team directly-one was letting Mike Mussina go and two was Luke Scott. I am disgusted by him and his political antics. Shut your mouth and play ball.

Now back to the incident...if this had happened in say...Kansas City...I would probably assume the worst. But this happened in San Fran. I would love to see a picture of this guy so I can justifiably stereotype him as a racist or not:)

Either way-Adam has a right to be upset if anything is thrown at him.

When you google the guy's name the first two pictures that come up are mug shots (that I assume are him, given the location, age and unusual name). http://mugshots.com/US-Counties/California/Mendocino-County-CA/Alexander-Nicholas-Poulides.57025801/details/

Not quite sure what any of this has to do with the banana but its quite obvious you have some anger and bitterness issues. Learn to lighten up and look past the faults, or perceived faults of others, and life will be much more enjoyable.

He saw a chance to slam Scott and he took it.

I do not have anger or biterness issues:) But I will admit I have a huge pet peeve about athletes and politics. Kids look up to you, keep out of it.

I like what Led Zeppelin does-they stay out of it. Why upset half of your fan base by bringing up politics opinions in the first place.

You should lick on that link btw. Quite unbelievable.

Dang straight! Click on that link and tell me your opinion.

I am very aware of the interactions between Scott and Pie.

I noticed it is his politics you complaining about not his interactions with Pie, who by the way was on very good terms with Scott.

I have to wonder if you would be upset with him declaring his politics if they were the same as yours?

How about this article?

http://www.cantstopthebleeding.com/luke-scott-gun-nut-birther-bible-beater-but-not-a-racist

“Scott’s locker is positioned in the Orioles spring clubhouse between his best friend on the team, Felix Pie, and newly acquired superstar Vladimir Guerrero…he probably speaks as much Spanish in the locker room as English and he clearly prefers the company of his Latin teammates”

Why is that those who side with the preachers of tolerance are always the least tolerant?

Each of us have a right to our views on all things. And each of us have a right to express those views where it is allowed, w/o scorn or ridicule from others who dont share the same views. The very thing that upsets you about Luke is something you are voicing, except from a different viewpoint.

I don't read Bleacher Report. I am very aware of the interactions between Scott and Pie.

Good terms or not, don't you see anything wrong with that? Jones said he would have spoken up if he saw racism but I would think that has got to be hard when he is a teammate.

I definitely am concerned about this interactions with Pie. I also dislike his politics as I stated. Both. I don't like either.

Is it politics to question your current president's validity? I think that is much deeper than politics my friend.

      Trade targets: Starters and Bullpen

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Good question/scenario to pose. I believe that middle relief is a need for us because we really only have 3 reliable relievers. Bautista, Cano, and half of Coulombe and half of Baker...lol But in seriousness, we need to be leading in games for that even to matter which means our starter has to get through 5/6 and be better than theirs. I don't really like that proposition against elite teams. In the playoffs, you are going to have to win some lower scoring games. I'm not convinced that our starters can hold down the opposition for our relief pitching to even matter. (beyond maybe Wells for 5 innings). We had a SUPER ELITE BP with Miller, Brach, O'Day, and Britton and it didn't really matter in the end. That was because our O couldn't score, this time it will probably be because our starters can't be effective for long enough. I'm not against BP help whatsoever, but I think an impact starter is needed also. And if I had to rank the two, I would place starting pitcher as the greater need.

      I'll just add, in the MLB.com highlights they have her call of the Josh Lester RBI single, and she misses what happened the botched cutoff that allowed the third run to score from first. She just stops paying attention to the play and is caught off guard when the third run scores.  https://www.mlb.com/gameday/orioles-vs-giants/2023/06/04/717890/final/wrap

      Every time I ask the same question you seem to ignore it and not answer it, so let me state it as plainly as I know how. Of MIN, TEX, NY, HOU, TB; which team would you prefer the O's rotation to theirs? Which of those teams would be willing to trade their best 3/4 starters for ours (the players that can be pencilled in to start a playoff series)? Do you follow/keep track of those teams and who they have or just the O's?

      Is it too early (and possibly too crazy) to suggest that they may be a better road team than they are at home?

      Moves in the near term

      I'm not very high on Giolito. How much better does he really make us? I would prefer to have a starter who can truly match up with the McClanahans, Coles, deGroms, Ryans, etc of the world. Otherwise, I think we are a long shot at best to win 1 round let alone 3.  In addition, he's an FA at the end of the year so he does nothing to help us solve this problem next year. If we are going to make a trade I would prefer that we don't try to address the gaping hole with a small bandaid, because despite our rich org prospect depth and talent, we don't have the pitching to project to have a talent edge on our competitors next year or beyond. I guess the same thing that applies to Giolito applies to Flahrety and Montgomery from STL IMO. They are not really tangibly better than what we have. I don't want any of those guys as my game 1/7 starter.  With the reserve/over abundance of org talent that we currently posses, I would prefer to fish for the cream of the crop as opposed to closer to the bottom of the barrel. IMO there's no reason to go cheap now in terms of what we are willing to give up to get the true difference making piece for the next few years.

      The reds are probably ready to compete next season so i doubt they will want to move a cost controlled top level back end bullpen guy.  The one thing they would want even if he was available would most likely be pitching prospects as they are built like us with young depth in position players.
