Yeah, I was OK with the “he’s young” thing when he was 19, 20, 21, 22.    At this point he’s a 6+ year veteran and should act like one.

Dirty plays or dirty players are not some new revelation to the game of baseball they’ve and they have been happening throughout the history of baseball and it happens in every sport. Do I agree with it? No. Do I wish it wasn’t the kind of player Manny is? Yes. Is it the First time Manny has ever done a dirty play? No. Is it going to be the last?  No. Should the Brewers drill him when opportunity presents whether this series or next year? You bet your ass they should and they will when the time is right. At the end of the Day I enjoy baseball all aspects of the game even the dirty plays and I especially enjoy a young man with as much Talent as Manny Machado play the game. I hope to watch him grow into a more mature man over the coming years.

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.   

What is amazing about Boston is that they won 108 games, knocked out two 100 win teams on the way to the World Series, and have not lost a single road game in the playoffs......clinching both series in the other team's ballpark.  And these were not just ordinary 100 win teams.  New York and the World Champs.  That is very hard to do.  LA has the better chance to beat Boston, but I don't see either NL team doing it.  Sometimes, it is just your year and I think once again, it is Boston's year.

Manny as the villain is ESPN's latest storyline that they keep repeating.
 

Quote

Then Manny Machado stepped to the plate. Baseball's newest villain was sure to get booed after his kerfuffle with Milwaukee's Jesus Aguilar in Game 4. But this was some serious booing -- sustained booing that echoed and reverberated around the closed roof of Miller Park. It was a melted cheese blanket of Wisconsin disdain. Strangely enough, Machado's mere presence seemed to rekindle the furor with which the fans started the game.

"I felt my chest getting tight it was so loud in there," Miley said. "Obviously, they were booing Manny in his first at-bat. It got pretty loud."

In Milwaukee, Manny Machado is Public Enemy No. 1

 

Quote

"Manny is not malicious, but then you see some of that stuff and you go, 'C'mon, man. Really?'" Machado's former manager Buck Showalter said when reached by phone. "As a teammate, manager or coach, you're trying to be supportive, but he has to give me something to work with. It's hard to defend that."

Manny is 26 years old, and I think it is easy to forget that.....I am fairly sure that I was saying and doing things at 26 that I wouldn't do now at 43.  That being said, he is a grown man and it is perfectly okay to call him out on non-professional behavior.  Some people just need a little more time and help in order to grow up faster.

It’s all relative. The average age in MLB is under 29. There are plenty of 26 year olds and Manny is a veteran. He doesn’t behave this way because he is young.

I agree with this.  I just think that as you age, you do tend to get more mature.  It just happens later for some.  Although not everyone matures! 

I think we can all agree though that he needs to grow up.  It is time.

Dirty player or not, tonight’s game is the reason the Dodgers traded for him. He needs to produce. 

He needs to come up big tonight for a number of reasons but number one he will be remembered (short term) for his antics in this series and shifting the momentum towards Milwaukee. 3 games ago he pulled the stunt and he was prettt much zero the last two games.  Can’t have a third.  I’m hoping he puts it away with a 3 run bomb.

      Various Org Leaders for 2024

      By Jim'sKid26 · Posted

      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.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      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.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      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.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Pickles · Posted

      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.
