Even Colon is only 43. :(

I guarantee you not every player in the majors would have charged the mound there.

I've seen many guys get hit and quietly take their base.

I legitimately want to know, how often do players get intentionally hit with a 99mph fastball? It seems unusual (for a lot of reasons... there aren't that many guys throwing 99 in the first place, and on top of it, intentionally throwing at guys, they usually have the good sense not to throw it at speeds that can literally kill a man).

Davis got hit with a 96? 98? MPH pitch recently.

Davis didn't charge the mound.

Yes I'm sure it sucked.

You can't take yourself out of the lineup for an extended period of time.

I wouldn't call that "pulling him off". Didn't look like Kim needed much encouragement to back off.

Kim knew he had to get out there, but probably was just testing the waters to see how actually fake mad he was expected to get in MLB. I'd say the action between Machado and Ventura was a bit more animated than average, might give Kim the wrong impression haha.

Was that one intentional? The players seem to have a good idea of when it's intentional or not, and of course that has a huge impact on how they respond to it. An accident is an accident. When they know it's intentional, they're obviously going to be a lot more pissed about it.

He was trying to pull everyone out though.
If I am Buck I am much more likely to grab Kim than grab a guy like Crush.

I was joking Slim.

Tnt, if I'm Buck I'd go for Kim first since his situation on the team is unique. I have no idea if they brawl in Korea.

I would go for him first because Davis might run over me if I tried to stop him.

      I think he’s fine in the regular season but if you look around at #4 starters on contending teams like NYY, LAD, PHI, and ATL you get: LAD: one of Walker Buehler/Bobby Miller/Clayton Kershaw (if healthy) ATL: Reynaldo Lopez (3.60 xERA, 2.90 FIP) or Max Fried (3.16 xERA, 3.51 FIP) NYY: Gil, Stroman, or Schmidt PHI: Turnbull (4.19 xERA, 3.62 FIP) or Sanchez (3.73 xERA, 2.58 FIP)   The only guys I would consider Kremer over are Stroman (who is probably the Yankees 6th best starter when Cole comes back) or Turnbull (very similar career numbers but has been much better this year). Again, he’s fine as a #5 but I would not want him starting another playoff game and if Irvin reverts back to being a 4-4.40 ERA guy, I don’t think we would be thrilled with that either.

      It certainly goes to show the Orioles have a good team when almost all of their DFA's are claimed now. But that's exactly why having three options was put into the MLB system. This gives guys like Nevin, McKenna, Baumann major league opportunities when they would be stuck in AAA with the Orioles. while it stink for the Orioles to not have those depth players, it also give guys chances to becomes those depth players still in the system.

      This offensive style is not sustainable

      It’s really hard to watch veterans struggle, but I still think the O’s are a month away from doing anything more significant than they’ve done already to adjust playing time, etc.   Hopefully some of the vets wake up before then.

      Is it me, or does ti appear that Adley drops to his knee on almost every big swing and is off balance even when he connects with a ball? I don't remember this pronounced "drop to a knee" swing in almost every single at bat. That cant be a good thing for a hitter or even if it is not a concern, Adley gets out of the box slower because he's off balance.

      Seems like we’re just going in circles on this. Showalter is exactly a use case for why I think JF could be moved at some point. There’s only a select 2 or 3 on Elias’ absolute no touch list (presumably - but no one knows for sure obviously).  JF would be moved if the right team asks in the right deal as I doubt he’s not on the into untouchable list. We are both ultimately saying the same thing here…I think. BTW, interesting what the Cards are doing with Showalter, moved to pen and pitching only once a week. Man he’s been dominant. 18.1 IP, 30K and only 13 H and 6 BB allowed this year. I was in the camp that was very disappointed he was moved (even before Flahery came over and clunked).

      One thing I have to add on Young.   That analysis was based on about 17 IP.

      Plus, McCann might not be as safe as we think.  We could pretty much rotate catcher’s in off the street for what McCann brings. I’m sure some catchers in the minors have June 1st opt out clauses too.  Hunt could just be a CYA thing if there is a guy out there with a June 1 opt out date that we’ve already identified.
