How many times has Adam Jones been thrown out by a "ridiculous margin". I am sure it happens but I dont remember many mistakes by Jones. We don't have a thread on hear titled Adam Jones base running. Alomar made some stupid decisions on the bases but not to the extent that Manny does. 

Adam has made outs on the bases  45 times in his career; Manny 35 times in approximately half as many games.   So, Manny’s been worse.   Neither has been perfect, and nobody is.  BB-ref calculates that in total Manny’s baserunning has been worth -5 runs in his 5+ years with the team; a pretty trivial number.

Not arguing with you just discussing. There are outs and there are bad outs. And perception is a lot of it. How many times has Jones been thrown out at second because he stood at the plate thinking he had a homer? How many times has Jones made the last out trying to go from first to third?

Also where can I find the stats for number of times a runner has been thrown out. That would be interesting to look at.

They are on B.B.-ref.    You can find them either on the player page for all the years of that player’s career, or on the team page for a specific year you can look at all the players on the team at one time.

From the player’s main page, under batting go to advanced stats, then to Baserunning & Misc. Stats.   For Manny, that would take you here:   https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/machama01-bat.shtml

For the 2018 Orioles, under batting go to detailed stats, then to baserunning/misc.    That takes you here: https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BAL/2018-batting.shtml

(Actually, you need to click as instructed above after clicking on these links.   Scroll down and find baserunning/misc.)

With three days left, Manny is having one of the best months of his career:

5/13: .355/.380/.556, 3 HR, 14 RBI

6/15: .365/.411/.635, 8 HR, 22 RBI

4/16: .344/.394/.667, 7 HR, 16 RBI

6/16:  .370/.396/.600, 5 HR, 21 RBI

8/17: .341/.348/.690, 12 HR, 35 RBI

4/17: .356/.440/.693, 9 HR, 20 RBI*

* Includes 2 games played in March.

Note the .440 OBP.    Usually when Manny’s real hot, he gets very aggressive, and that’s what usually cools him down.   This year he’s been making the pitchers come to him.

Final April numbers:  .361/.448/.676, 9 HR, 22 RBI.   His month was worth 1.7 rWAR, 1.9 fWAR.   Per Fangraphs, Manny’s March/April performance was worth $15.5 mm, just shy of his $16 mm salary for the entire season.

It pains me to say this, but they have to be working behind the scenes on trade packages in May. I want to see him all season in Baltimore but it doesn't make sense to keep him for a pick.

Dang great start though.

Who said he should make quick outs? 

You are seemingly criticizing him (stat padding) for hitting home runs when the game is out of hand.  I say, hit as many home runs when a game is out of hand as you can.

    • You’re right, he was not optioned in 2022, but he was first optioned September 8, 2021 by the Blue Jays. It’s in the extra rows of latest transactions on his player page: https://www.mlb.com/player/bryan-baker-641329 I use the Roster Resource page on Fangraphs, which shows he’s on his last option this year: https://www.fangraphs.com/roster-resource/depth-charts/orioles I initially didn’t check when he was first optioned, just assumed it was 2022, but turns out it was 2021. Regardless, he’ll be out of options next year. 
    • Any thoughts on who that “Verlander” like player could be? I would have said Alcantara but he doesn’t have a larger contract and he is hurt. I can’t identify that kind of player out there right now. None of the obvious selling teams have any really good pitchers. Maybe Berrios or Kikuchi if the Jays decide to sell? But Kikuchi isn’t expensive and is Berios really an ace? Sonny Gray? But the Cards are actually slightly over .500. I just can’t seem to find that kind of guy out there.
    • I think the Yankees series is very simple. Try to have nobody on base when Judge and Soto come to the plate. Get to there bullpen early. A lot easier said than done.
    • and youre persona is to ask or give multiple questions and answers to the same narrative. No quality starts? How bout seven starts with a 1.91 ERA and a whip slightly above one. OK I get it everybody waiting for it blowup, but honestly all things being equal why would be matching Suarez against Suarez so youre criticism of our Saurez is not as good as stat wise the best pitcher in the game so far. And in addition a quality start is some stat from a generation age that nobody pays attention to. No doubt the phillies getting full value for the buck on Saurez (5 mil). were paying league min. I'll take it 
    • Urias and Santander are slower than Rutschman.  O'Hearn is actually faster than Hays and Mountcastle. At least according to statcast sprint speed which isn't an exact analog to base stealing ability. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/leaderboard/sprint_speed?min_season=2024&max_season=2024&position=&team=BAL&min=10
    • Hopefully the O's took notes on the Red Sox exposing Trevino on Sunday night. Anyone not named McCann, Rutschman, and O'hearn - if you get on base, just run. 
    • I just read a take on his changeup that loved it - thought it might help him be a "reverse splits" kind of RH middle reliever. Right now the Orioles have a bunch of lefties though should Coulombe end up okay.
