The Marlins are lowing their fences and moving them in during the off-season. LOL

I hate when teams do that. They think they're going to get more hitters to sign there, but it'll probably just mean that the opposition hits as many more homers as the Marlins do. It only really works if you pull a Bill Veeck and roll out a giant movable screen in the top of the innings then retract it in the bottom half.

I think it shows how much Manny wishes he was on the Marlins.

Has anyone asked if he is upset about not playing Shortstop? He did play more games there then at Second in the minors.

I think the fact that he was a non-preferred international signing, from a non-preferred international land, and was not scouted by Keith Laws makes all the difference.

What a selfish jerk! I can totally see the toxic environment he is helping create!

Joke aside, Manny acts emotionally immature at times and I really hated the bat throwing incident. But this stuff is incredibly, incredibly mild and always seems to be an immature response to frustration, not spousal abuse and the like. I think there's nothing to worry about with Manny.

The good old days of sportsmanship and self-discipline.

Coincidentally enough, that happened 50 years ago to the day on Saturday, and we have a thread and an accompanying article for it in the MLB section:

Ted Williams, Pete Rose, Bob Gibson, Manny Machado. You hate them when they play against you, you love them when they play for you.

Machado is the best player on the team. Largest potential, and will be more productive than AJ.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.

      Why is this thread on the Oriole Talk section.    It probably does not belong on the OriolesHangout  at all but if it stays it should be on the MLB section.

      If there's two outs and its not Judge in the hole, I'm probably going with Perez, crossing my fingers he gets the lefty, and then starting fresh the next inning with Coulombe or someone else.  If there's one out, I'm going w/ Coulombe.
