The 2018 Orioles agree.

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.

If Schoop had done anything this post season the Brewers would probably already clinched the pennant.  

Give it a break already. He had 8 at bats this post season. Milwaukee did him no favors at all by trading for him and not giving him any consistency or play time.

Dodger team is so unlikable. Go Red Sox.Puig,Manny and the rest of the ass clowns.. 

I sure as hell will not root for Boston. 

Puig does not bother me. He can be immature but I don’t see a malicious person. 

I think for what it is worth Manny’s behavior cost him the MVP.

When did Manny have an MVP season? He’s had good seasons, but I don’t remember anything MVP worthy.

It pains me to see Manny acting out to this degree.  He had occasional episodes in Baltimore, but he’s had about as many with the Dodgers in the last 10 days as in did in six years in Baltimore.    I will always like him as a player and wish he was still an Oriole, but his recent behavior is very bush league.

For all of his faults, Showalter did seem to be able to reduce these sort of behaviors.  I wonder how much of an impact older players like Jones etc had keeping Machado on the right track as well.

Its frustrating, especially considering hes always had players around him who take the time to show him the right path.  

I saw this yesterday and smiled.  Two hours later he was crotch chopping the crowd.

Over/under how many times they're going to play up the "Manny the Villain" story with his backstory vs Boston?  I get it, Manny brought this on himself, but the coverage is becoming absurd.  
 

Quote

The supremely talented shortstop-turned-villain in the National League Championship Series capped his often-controversial series with the last laugh in a 5-1 victory over the Brewers in Game 7 on Saturday night at Miller Park. 

Quote

After he reached first base, he grabbed himself a few times as he faced Brewers fans in the stands. Asked if he made an untoward gesture toward them, Machado sidestepped.

"Honestly, I have no idea," Machado said. "All I heard was, 'Manny sucks.'"

So no gestures to the crowd?

"No," Machado said. "I just hear what they say. I just enjoy it, take it all in, you know?"

Asked if he likes being a villain, Machado sidestepped again.

Imagine having any sympathy for the Boston red Sox.

It's going to be hard to root for the Red Sox, but I think ass clown is a good description of what Manny's turned into.  This might be the first World Series in my lifetime as a fan where I can't generate even a small rooting interest for either team.

      What does the Bradish injury really mean?

      By jabba72 · Posted

      This clip shows Bradish shaking his elbow a few times. Also throwing 99 which might have had something to do with it. I hope he learned his limitations.  Kyle Bradish's strong start against Phillies | 06/14/2024 | MLB.com

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I'm kind of heading towards rooting for Kjerstad or Beavers to be trade centerpiece of whatever comes. EBJ's 2024 has been pretty tepid so he is not at a good sell point.     Norby seems to fit well as a backup to future outfields mostly made up of Cowser-Mullins-Kjerstad-Beavers-EBJ. The other 29 clubs, including whatever dozen odd end up selling next month - there are probably enough variances in their takes on Kjerstad and Beavers there is something Elias can arbitrage. I take it as a given someone like Seth Johnson or Trace Bright at least will be a secondary piece, guessing Povich-McDermott-De Leon-Forret maybe represent a tier Elias prefers to keep.

      Its always easier in hindsight, but letting Kyle Gibson go, could end up being a glaring error.

      Gibson has a career 5.09 ERA in the 2nd half. And he turns 37 in October. He's due for some regression.

      Yeah I am kind of torn on that.   Obviously you don't something actually on the ball so that the ball may go through the air differently, but if pitchers are having to over compensate to try and get the grip and therefore the spin that they want.....then is it worth it to allow a substance so you can avoid all of these injuries?   Let a pitcher keep something sticky on his glove or hat and allow him to be able to touch that area if he wants.  I really don't see a problem with it. For example, as much as some of you hate my bowling references, in bowling we do the same exact thing that a pitcher does, try to get as good a grip as possible so that we can create as many rpm revs, spin and hook as possible.  All the best bowlers have rev rates in the 500s and we are all allowed to put whatever we want on our hands to create that.  Rosin.  Stickem.   Tape on the fingers.  Tape inside of the bowling ball fingers.....whatever.  And I have never in my life heard anyone say that doing that should be illegal.  It is legal, everyone does it, and no one has a problem with it.  We are also allowed to surface our balls with a sand paper like pad that can give it a surface that hooks more, or a surface that hooks less. Again, all perfectly legal.  I think baseball may have to adjust their thinking on this if pitchers keep falling like flies.

      That probably happens but its not a big deal. Smartphones probably do tons of data tracking on what you search online. And they know exactly where you are at all times.

      I thought trying to resign Flaherty would have been a better choice, assuming he wanted to stay of course.  He had a better track record of being very very good compared to Gibson Again though, I have no idea if he even would have resigned.
