The other morning, on 105.7, they were talking about Manny and several callers were concerned with his attitude and cockiness and was a bad influence on Schoop.

IMO, I don't buy into any of this, and not sure, where all this is coming from.

I think the problem is that you're looking to radio callers for your commentary on the matter.

I'll hang up and listen to your thoughts off-air.

Unclear if Hardy will come off the DL this weekend, but he'll certainly be back by Tuesday.

Should Manny have had a triple today? Palmer was letting him have it during the game. Superstars still need to run hard. At least Davis was able to pick him up with the single.

You can't catch Earl Webb by stretching doubles into triples.

BTW there was once very vigorous debate on this board about Brian Roberts pulling up at 2B to pad his doubles totals.

Was there something other than the potential triple that became a double that would make fans mad at Manny? My buddy who is a philly fan, but lives in Baltimore, texted me and said callers into the Fan were lighting into Manny.

Some fans have been hard on Manny since day 1, and I don't get it, myself.

#orioles still not sure if Machado will go to hearing Tuesday. Could drop appeal.

Really see no point in dropping it looking at schedule. You have Texas Monday, that game could be HUGE down the road....and then you have the hearing the next day. And Blue Jays up to that point.

The best day for this to take effect either way is Tuesday. And in that case might as well have the hearing to see if you can get it knocked down.

Couldn't tell from the video. Have to trust Palmer, which I don't always.

I thought at the time the ball was clearly not triple. It was played too quickly on the bounce off the door. If Bradley had to chase it down, it could have been 3. The way to tell with better certainty is to time from contact until pickup.

It would be fair to say that Manny didn't know the ball would be picked up cleanly as he was jogging around first, so the effort was sub par.

Does anyone know if Manny's active-player consecutive games played record is still in-tact? I could be wrong, but I thought it was.

And if so, the impending suspension would break the running total, correct?

Edit:

I guess I could have added this to one of the suspension threads. Feel free to merge, mods.

    • I hate the six man rotation. We found last year that it really stresses the bullpen, which is already a problem this year. We also have fewer guys with options in the bullpen to manage rest this year. We need to pick a top five and stick with it. 
    • I've seen that said essentially twice in this thread and yet I just read through 7 pages of positive comments about Kremer.  I think some get confused when people suggest Kremer may get bumped from the rotation as they don't like him. Somebody is going to have to go when Grayson comes back.  It's not going to be Burnes, Bradish or Means, which means it's going to be Irvin and Kremer. Both Irvin and Kremer are pitching great right now but Kremer has an option and Irvin doesn't.  Now, could this mean the Orioles slow play Grayson back to give him an extended down time so he will hopefully be very fresh come this October? Perhaps. All I know is that it's a good problem to have too many good starters.  Kremer has been nails of late and he's a solid major league starter. But all also could get caught up in a numbers game as this fleshes itself out like they tend to do with IL stints.  
    • Caleb Joseph had a nice career.   I’d love to get that out of Handley.   
    • Miscounted earlier…one off day in June on 6/17.
    • Another problem with a 6 man roster (especially when having to carry Kimbrel) is that the roster of the bullpen becomes awful thin. That leaves you with what 6 relievers assuming 1 currently would have to leave (minus Kimbrel who apparently can’t pitch in back to back days).  That would be fine if everyone continues to go 6/7 innings. But the moment someone has a 5 inning or less start, the bullpen would instantly become taxed (especially if that occurred on one of Kimbrel’s “rest days”).
    • I think it's pronounced YEN-yuh
    • The O’s have had the most difficult SOS in MLB so far; additionally it seems we are always facing the oppositions best starters.  Fortunately, looks like that will finally change when we play the DBacks as Brandon Pfaadt and Ryne Nelson are lined up for games 1 & 2 but the O’s may face Zac Gallen in game 3. https://www.espn.com/mlb/stats/rpi/_/sort/sos
