Toronto Fans around him should have turned him immediately after the incident.

They claim that they have video. They were seen last night on TV in the same section as the idiot who threw the can was sitting. how was he/she was not apprehended? Out of all those people, not one had the decency to point out this idiot?

If they do find this individual, he/she she be barred from ever attending a sporting event again.

Like there is a way that could happen. Really it was an idiot move but no damage was done. I am sure a ban from Blue Jays games is in order but as crimes go this is about as minor as they come.

MLB should require the elimination of cans in all stadiums. It is insane that MLB allows Toronto to sell beer in cans at games. This is as much Manfred's fault as anybody. He needs to order the immediate elimination of selling of beer in bottles and cans in all venues. And any team whose security procedures then are not good enough to catch smugglers should be fined big time.

People sneak in beer and liquor to Oriole games. Pretty hard to stop. People say the fire Buck thing is going over board these comments are way overboard .

I hardly call an attempt to seriously injure someone minor. He didn't throw a bag of chips at Kim, he threw a can of beer at him.

I doubt a beer can would seriously injured Kim and they missed. With all the serious crime in Baltimore including fans receiving brain injuries in assaults during Ravens and Orioles games this is going overboard. Seems like ban from Blue Jay games and community service type offense.

Beer can be served by stadium vendors in non projectile containers. And a full lager size can like the one thrown from that height certainly could have seriously injured Kim. Most all stadiums already do this. Yes, people can smuggle in anything, but this is one of multiple incidents of this type at this team's stadium. It should be eliminated.

You're probably right about the punishment. But the potential injury, I think you're way off.

Keep Buck. Eliminate selling alcohol related projectiles.

I don't have problem with banning cans. My comment was about finning teams for people smuggling beer cans in. Unless you want to be felt up when you go to a game pretty hard to stop.

      Do the Orioles Need Players with Postseason Experience?

      Elias on contract extensions

      Probably neither - it may be more a function of lining up with players.  The Astros extensions aren’t really comparable. The first Altuve extension was ridiculously team friendly. Altuve had less than $1MM in career earnings ($15K signing bonus as amateur). He had a good 2012, making the all-star team. However, he struggled in the first half of 2013 with an OPS in the six hundreds.  He fired Boras in May, presumably because he wanted to sign an extension that Boras would have been vehemently opposed to.  The deal announced in July bought out his four remaining years of team control for $12.5MM and gave the Astros control over what would have been his first two FA years via club options that totaled $25MM. The second Altuve extension occurred after he rehired Boras and was basically about buying out his grossly undervalued club option years.  It was needed to reverse the mistake of the first extension. The Bregman extension was reached in ARB-3 negotiations. Neither of these situations are at all comparable to a potential Gunnar extension this offseason. First of all, Boras had NEVER extended a pre-arb player with seven figures in career earnings (Carlos Gonzalez was below that threshold).  He is philosophically opposed to it. Second, there are two potential comps that would starting points for a deal: Tatis Jr and Witt Jr.  Boras would reject either of those deals; he would want to do better given his distaste for pre-arb extensions, his strong preference for “record-breaking” deals, and the fact the Gunnar has more career WAR (at least fWAR) than either of those players when they signed their extensions.  When teams are successful in getting a lot of early extensions done, it’s often a case of having a lot of players amenable to an extension. That generally covers attributes such as not signing a large draft or IFA bonus (i.e., relatively “poor” players), players with geographic ties to the team (big part of Atlanta’s success), not having Boras as their agent, and being more risk-adverse from a financial perspective.  The team’s risk tolerance also plays a role as you can get burned if they turn into Grady Sizemore.

      I think the main reason they’re not big contributors for the Tigers right now is that they were all jettisoned from the team right around the time the Tigers got good. Canha was traded to SFG at the deadline, Urshela was DFA’d on August 15, and Baez shuffled off to season-ending hip surgery on August 22. They were 62-66 when Baez was shut down — they’re 28-11 since.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By Ripken · Posted

      Their rebuild has not been better but their players don't melt under pressure.

      Hurricane Milton has apparently ripped the roof of the Tropicana Dome to shreds

      By SteveA · Posted

      So what do the Rays do?   Spend a lot of money fixing the roof for the few remaining years that ballpark has left?   Or do like the A's and play in a minor league facility until their new ballpark is built? I wonder if they could work out something with the Yankees to play in Steinbrenner Field.   It is in Tampa and one of the nicer spring training facilities on the Gulf Coast.   The Rays train in Port Charlotte which is (50???) miles south and I don't think the facility is nearly as good.   Steinbrenner FIeld seats over 10K, has luxury boxes, and a very accessible location for Tampa area fans.
