I don't know what it is about the Orioles, but they bring out the worst in Papi for some reason. There's never been a strike call that he agreed with and that act is tired, but he gets disproportionate hate from O's fans due to the number of incidents that happen against the O's.

That was way overdue. I'm sick of this guy acting out every time he disagrees with a strike call that goes against him.

Agree totally. The guy probably doesn't even get that the only reason they called it a strike the second time was because of how he showed up the ump the first time.

This was a pretty beloved and lovable guy a few years ago and now he's nothing but a punk thug.

No, he's just awful. Orioles fans just object to it the way other fans should, but are told not to by the press.

He must have upped his doseage. Only thing it could be. He has aged.

Exactly. He kept whining and refusing to get back in the box in his previous AB's after calls that were correct. I would have done the same thing if I were the ump. Ring him up on anything borderline.

Sadly MLB.com didn't show the start of the situation which was in the 1st inning.

What angered me most was the Fenway faithful chanting "Papi...Papi..." after he got ejected. How can you honestly support such bad sportsmanship? There are children watching this man drop his bat in the batters box after receiving a call from the ump, and they are listening to supportive fans' reaction.

The entire organization and city of Boston should be ashamed. And they certainly shouldn't express any shock when their little leaguers start to exhibit Papi-like disrespect towards authority.

It's that whole Yankee vs Red Sox mentality. Lets cry about every close call so we get the next one. The fact that Porcello just got 20 million a year is hilarious. Remember when we debated over trading him for JJ Hardy. Boston isn't that good. Toronto won't stay healthy. And that folks is how the east is going to shake out.

      Who is "selling" this year?

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Tanner Scott is on his final year with the Marlins and Hunter Harvey has one more year with the Nats, those are the likely biggest available names. Kopech from CWS is also a potential RP option. Problem is there are very few actually worthwhile players on the teams that will sell - I don’t expect the Giants, Astros, Cardinals or Angels to sell even if they should. The Nats have some good young players that won’t be available, and not much else. And the Rockies are baffling adverse to trading any of their players, if they even end up with someone worth trading for.  Mason Miller and Jesus Luzardo have plenty of team control left (pretty much all of it for Miller, and 2 years after this one for Luzardo), they will get talked about a lot but are not super likely to move. Luzardo also has pitched quite poorly thus far.

      I have to admit. I'm an addict.

      Because you and I text often, and did during the game yesterday...you know how annoying and negative I can be. I'm a whiner and complainer when it comes to this team. But when we win, and I see some kind of performance like Henderson gave...I want to write a sonnet or symphony in my mind...paint some sort of masterpiece. I have to put my joy SOMEWHERE. Yes, I probably am over the top in my love for this team. WEAMS came and stayed at my home a few years ago and was mesmerised by my Oriole  collection of memorabilia that goes back more than 50 years when I was a batboy. Brooks Robinson and Palmer stayed for a weekend once. I was told to take all my Oriole stuff down, lest Brooks think I'm a kook. Brooks David, his son, told me to "keep all the stuff up...my dad LOVES this stuff. And Brooks Sr did INDEED "love the stuff". So, yes, even in a long up and down season...I cant curb my addiction. I sulk when we lose or are losing...and I'm giddy as a 5 year old when we win dramatically. Maybe I should seek a therapist. But I don't want to. I dont want to or need to be "fixed"....To quote the line from earlier in this comment...."I love this stuff". Its a romance that breaks my heart sometimes, but when it's right and I'm happy...nothing else in sports for me, comes close.

      Offense is down in MLB this year — but not in Baltimore

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      We've been also doing this while carrying Holliday's bat.  Other than that, we have a Braves level offense.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      You can’t see injury or decline until it happens. And he will decline in his 30s.  Whether or not he has injury issues is to be seen.

      I hope this thread doesn't start a jinx!!!!!!! 😀 Waving my anti-jinx wand!!!!  Baseball is a game of averages. Don't assume anything long term - as sure as it may seem. Just cross fingers and enjoy the now.

      I agree on the Nats, which is why they are at the bottom of the list. They do  Hunter Harvey coming into final arbitration year, which is appealing.
