Alomar overall was not a dirty player, this was a very sad and terrible memory in Oriole history.

 

I totally agree. And I did remember the connection he and Hirschbeck developed. It was an ugly, ugly incident though. Really tarnished an otherwise wonderful year for the Orioles.

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.

Folks love to gloss over what the Umpire did to cause Alomar's reaction.

Both sides were at fault and the Ump should have also been suspended.

Yes, I agree, there was plenty of fault on both sides.

Usually, guys that are truly dirty players, will have multiple incidents in their closet.

How many players did Ty Cobb spike going into 2nd base, back in the steel spike era?

TBF - men were MEN back in the day and this was the norm, IMO!  ?  (Is that "politically" incorrect?  If so I own it and apologize, but I was kidding).

Back in the day, this was common practice, but regardless Cobb was well known for playing harder and go after you, more than anybody else.

Cobb would go to a place in the dugout where the infielders on the other team could see him, and sharpen his spikes. Cobb was called "the dirtiest player I ever saw" by the normally reserved Connie Mack.

The best story is about a young pitcher who intentionally beaned him in his first plate appearance. Cobb took his base without saying a word. The next time he came up to bat, he dropped a bunt down the first-base line. When the pitcher went to field the ball, Cobb knocked him over, then spiked him on the chest. The pitcher was sliced open and had to leave the game

Cornelius McGillicuddy was known to hyperbolize, just saying!  ⚾

Did anyone see Paul Mancano's report for MASN today? He had a clip from the World Series last night. The camera was panning across the players during the Anthem, and it got to Manny just at the right time. He was standing quietly at attention, and just at the right time during the Anthem you could see him mouth "O".

 

You can take the guy out of the Orioles , but you can't take the Orioles out of the guy.

      I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if he changed nothing in terms of strategy.  Look at what he traded recently right handed batters. I feel like it is more important to him to be innovative, and develop players that have been forgotten or have failed in the major leagues than it is to actually win a World Series. Obviously, that’s the end goal of all the things he’s doing, but he wants to do it in a way that looks innovative, and it looks like he knows more about the players that failed and how to fix them than any other person. I honestly believe that is why Hyde has been here so long. He does everything that he’s told and they don’t want to bring in a manager that won’t do that. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a lineup made up for him every day and I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole game plan was planned out for him. What do you do when and where.. Obviously the numbers mean a lot in baseball and are extremely  helpful but they’re not everything.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      I'll celebrate whoever we get in a high echelon of MLB talent, but unfortunately unpacking this season too soon I think I don't even really want to win the Burnes bidding. Elias will value the next half season of information on Felix, Grayson and Bradish to figure out who goes with Eflin.     The growth he showed this year winning the Burnes and Eflin trade markets adds confidence he'll staff the top of the pitching roster appropriately in July 2025. If he is very risk averse with Kremer, Povich and Suarez, people would flip out but people like Kyle Gibson, Patrick Corbin and Jose Quintana hit me as safe innings he might actually pursue.

      The team's valuation only matters at time of sale. The owner's wealth in an uncapped sport like MLB determines how much the team can spend. Steve Cohen by any metric available has tons more millions to SPEND than Hal Steinbrenner. Steve Cohen has even operated at a deficit over 100 million before which I believe was in 2023. And most importantly he has the WILL to get into the deepest of pools when it comes to FA as he has already shown in his short time owning the Mets.

      I think Bregman would be an awesome fit. I don’t know how you decide westburg/JH and who plays second, but Bregman would be that veteran RH hitter who has experience and enjoys the big moment. Maybe we try JH at CF officially. Maybe he’s super utility next year, but that would be a weird way to develop a #1 prospect. but I would love it if we got Bregman.

      The Musgrove deal was viewed as a team-friendly hometown discount extension at the time.

      Richest owner and richest team are different things. If you go by most valuable teams the Yankees are very high up there. If you go by richest owner it's the Clippers owner.

      It's actually the Cowboys but I don't think they need any pitching.
