Manny didn’t say anything about an old incident in the minors.   He just said the he and Aguilar talked on the field and that the two of them “go way back” to the minors. The comments are in the middle of this clip:  

 

I wasnt going by this, but a reporter who wrote about. I will try and find the source.

Aguilar, however, said the two talked it out after Machado singled in the 13th. Machado said they go back to their days in the minors.

“Everything that happens on the field stays on the field,” Machado said. “He’s a great guy.”

Yeah, I don’t interpret that as saying they had an incident in the minors, just that they’ve known each other since then.   

Ok, now I see your point.

I read it, like Aguilar was barking at Manny, because this wasn't their first encounter, so i guess I was just reading too much into it.

Well, Steve Pearce is in the World Series.  I don't see anyone coming out of the NL being able to beat Boston.

My only hope is that the NLCS goes 6-7 games and the winner rolls right into the Series primed and ready to go while Boston gets a little stale with the days off.  

As I said before, the silver lining for me is Pearce getting a ring if Boston wins.  Dude is a really, really solid ballplayer and I loved him while he was here.  Having a team full of Steve Pearces would be great.

I think the Dodgers win tonight.

I see the Red Sox vs Dodgers, being a tight series, 4-3 or 3-4, it will boil down to game 7.

How much more valuable a ball player is Steve Pearce compared to Chris Davis?

I think the Red Sox will blow their NL opponent away, just as they did with the Yankees and Astros, both of which are better than any of the NL teams.

Thirty years ago an AL jauggernault couldn't get past the Dodgers in the WS.  That's the beauty of baseball.

Boston will be favored, for sure, but I have my doubts about their pitching.

As much as I can't stand them, they are a VERY well-constructed team.   They've got a nice mix of homegrown and acquired talent.

The favored team, doesn't always win, thats for sure.

The Orioles have been on both sides of that, for sure.

    • But look how healthy they are.
    • The fact that Justin Armbruester led all Orioles minor league pitcher with just 119.1 is pathetic! The pitching development guys are babying the SPs. This is emblematic of a philosophy that is destined to fail. Guys need to pitch to get better. Guys need to learn to get hitters out the second or third time through the order. I think this is a combination of a bad philosophy and not drafting SP talent in the early rounds. Broken system.
    • The wall was yet another case, in the case of many’s. Where Elias thought he was smarter than everybody  and decided to make hitting homers to left field almost impossible and so in his “genius”he only drafted left-handed hitters. Hence, we have trouble hitting left handers ( the only good thing that came of this is they got Gunner Henderson Earlier than anybody else was willing to draft him. ) No right handed batter would sign  here ever unless it was an extreme overpay. I have hated that wall from day one and I don’t think it lasts much longer. Once they start doing the major renovations, I guarantee it comes in maybe not the extent of what it was before maybe  but it’s coming in.
    • And that's fine. I'm not trying to pick on you, because there are literally dozens of posts I could have responded to but didn't, but it seems to me a lot of people are asking for contradictory things.
    • Something that was an open question during much of the year was if Burnes' line about not trying for strikeouts was BS. Broadly I think he gave the market evidence in the end game that he is a master craftsman, and of course 30 year old pitchers have to regulate intensity to complete the season. The 2021 season was just weird.     At ages 25-26, he got most of a year off, and then he got babied like basically every pitcher in the world in Year 1 after COVID. In 2022 they pushed him for more, and the per-batter effectiveness eroded, setting up that notable 2023 Arbitration hearing that helped make him a 2024 Oriole. A GM wanting his services....don't nitpick.    There will be bidders. Unless Rubenstein is planning for three or more mega contracts at the end of the decade, I think there are places it makes more sense to go.
    • It only takes 2 arms if you'd have him in the rotation over Suarez. Personally, I'd have Suarez in the rotation over him going in to next year as things stand now.
    • I feel like they did it because our pitching sucked. Now it doesn't suck, so let's split the difference. I think it would be a mistake to go into 2025 with the current park dimensions.
