Manny is a superstar in the making. I got no problem with him dropping F bombs cause he is pissed he did not play in that situation to his expectations.

Unless someone has something more substancial, this is just trolling IMO. There is no evidence that his teammates are anything but glad to have him around

When has Manny had expletive filled rants and contract complaints?

I originally saw the MASN quotes, but this ESPN article goes into more detail than I recall on Roch or Steve M's blog.

I personally am ok with the Manny's (or anyone's) clubhouse interview emotion as long as it's not a defining thing about him. I don't think it is. He was upset. We were upset. It was an upsetting game and series.

I think the contract issue was when he got less after his first year (or full year) than he expected and mildly complained. I think Wieters did something similar when he was in a similar situation before arbitration, but it was mostly forgotten over time, I think.

Where is that GIF of Manny reeling in Schoop back to the dugout last night? More evidence of his bad attitude, treating Schoop like he's a mere fish. How disrespectful.

Your wish is granted. I wish I had made it black and white like an old silent film. Almost a Marx Brothers thing he's doing there.

The rant wasn't directed at anyone. So he dropped a few F bombs. Words are all about how you use them. He didn't insult anyone. They were two grown men in a locker room. It's not like he was at the dog shelter dropping f bombs.

But it was hilarious when we played the empty stadium game that they were scared of the field mics picking up all the curse words the players routinely say. Grow up. People cuss. It's all about how you use that language and time and place.

Are things really that bad that we have some people questioning Manny Machado? Machado could be the most talented player the Orioles have ever drafted and developed, bar none when it's all said and done. He's been in the major league since he was 19 years old. He has a swagger and hasn't always handled every situation the best, but what early 20 something has?

To me, Manny Machado is the single most important player the orioles have under control and I hope they find a way to control him this offseason for another ten years or more..

I have no problem with the F bombs i drop them all the time.

But Manny is arrogant. Manny does come off as a bit of a cry baby too at times. Yea, yea he's 23 and a major league ball player but some of his actions would get a kid in high school sat down.

      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.
