And how does this negatively impact your life?

It doesn't.

I'm guessing you are fluent in Mandarin Chinese and can also speak Japanese because you are certainly acting as if you are at least as adroit linguistically as Chen.

I will gladly tell you! Why should we need to wait while a question he likely understand be translated ? Why can't he just give his answer back to the translator without going through all that. Btw I have heard and seen with his actions during games that even if he doesn't speak English perfectly he does understand it. So yes that is kind of annoying to me!

It is frustrating that Asian players get translators and Spanish speaking players do not and are expected to address the media in English. This is an issue that is worth considering, but I don't think the answer is to take the translator away from Asian players.

Well if all of us just learned Madarin we could go ahead and have the interview in that.

Then you wouldn't have to wait...seconds...to get the information.

Because you know, you have better things to do.

How many times are you going to make this thread? The other one gets deleted so you make a new one?

Sorry I don't recall the other one! Do I get 50 lashes now with a wet noodle or what? Man oh man some people have short fuses lately!

So he understands what his coaches say. But not necessarily what reporters ask. How is that hard to grasp? And why does it annoy you?

I know I have better things to do than spend time in threads where I don't like the topic to just complain about it! I just stay out of them. It isn't that difficult either!

      More Impressive Start to their Career? Machado or Henderson?

      By Frobby · Posted

      Hard to say hiw Manny would have been as a SS if he’d played it right from the start in the majors.  Due to Hardy’s presence, he essentially played 3B for 5.3 seasons before ever getting a shot as full time SS.   By that time he’d lost some speed and range and was rusty at the ins and outs of SS. If 2012-14 Hardy was on this team, Gunnar would be at 3B, watching Hardy win his three Gold Gloves.

      Who Should Be Extension Priority #1?

      By Mooreisbetter27 · Posted

      The Orioles are not going to re-sign Burnes and they prob shouldn't based on what he's going to ask for. Answer is Gunnar and it's not even really close.  Give the man whatever he wants and keep him indefinitely.

      Gunnar. He will add an All Star nod this year and is on an MVP pace. Higher WAR in fewer PA.

      Off-season Qualifying Offer Question

      By IPlayGM · Posted

      Still a lot of things to shake out this year that IMO affects this decision.   1. Is Silent J the heir apparent to RF? 2. Is Beavers taking the next step and showing as a viable starting OF? 3. Is Fabian taking the next step to be a legit 4th OF who can play all 3 positions?   I will be very surprised if Taters is on the team next year. Honestly I think that if he is it will be due to failure of the young guys to show out. Good thing for us is we have enough of them that I don’t think that will happen.

      He said after the game that he has five pitches, and if any three of them are working on a given night, he can mix them up enough to get batters out.

      He’s had quite the turnaround vs. LHP on this road trip.  Hopefully it continues all year!

      Gunnar's definitely looking like the MVP of the Orioles and looks like priority #1 to me to get an extension. Burnes age works against him, because the O's maybe don't want to go longer than 5-6 years at most, but I could be wrong there. The Witt extension kind of set the parameters of what Gunnar will probably want at minimum. 2025 25 Kansas City Royals $8,111,111     2026 26 Kansas City Royals $14,111,111     2027 27 Kansas City Royals $20,111,111     2028 28 Kansas City Royals $31,111,111     2029 29 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2030 30 Kansas City Royals $36,111,111     2031 31 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2032 32 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2033 33 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2034 34 Kansas City Royals *$35,000,000   $35M Player Option 2035 35 Kansas City Royals *$33,000,000   $33M Team Option 2036 36 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team Option 2037 37 Kansas City Royals *$28,000,000   $28M Team
