Manny clarifies his comments

[Going Underground]

Manny is in DC today.

From the Sun:

Manny on what he was really saying in the SI interview: "That had nothing to do with the fans. That was towards the organization and ownership – how they did things. Obviously, you see how it is. How they did it."

 

Manny Machado, in DC this weekend, said today he wasn't referring to fans with negative comment about O's in Sports Illustrated in February: “That wasn’t about the fans. The fans were always there. The fans always supported us no matter what."

[Moose Milligan]

Eh, it's been a few months, Manny's gone.  I appreciate that he cares enough to try to clarify it but I honestly don't really care too much.

 

 

[Frobby]

I always understood his comments that way.

Yeah, it’s water under the bridge. Manny, to paraphrase the late great Jimmy Dugan,

“There’s no love in baseball.” At least not in the business of baseball.

Fans, sure. So basically to moan about management not showing him the love, it’s just whining. His bucket overfloweth with love with that 300 million contract.

Agreed, I never took it as a slam against the fans.

As if he was ever going to sign here...lol.   Just go play and keep the rest of it to yourself.

Dunno, I think we might have had a shot at one point.  

IMO, I think he took one look at the Davis deal and went "Well if they're going to give him THAT..."

Come on you’re supposed to overreact and complain about how the league is out to get the Orioles. Or at least that is what listening to callers on 105.7 The Fan taught me.

 Exactly. He’s gone, so long, and thanks for all the Web gems

I thought there was no crying in baseball.

Was a joke. If I had said “to quote”, I’d have said “crying”.

Does anyone still listen to that station??... Its been years for me but it always seem every show had the same handful of callers that had nothing to do all day.

Only window we might have had was after his second knee injury, imho.

I agree with you. Why worry about what said? He is gone.
