Those reactions are the best thing I’ve seen in baseball all year, thank you for that.

Well, he is a stud and all, but I’d be ok with the right deal.

I think if we include Trumbo and Cobb to sort of offset some cash we should be able to get Trout. Oh, and we should ask for some top prospects. And some international money so we can get some pitching.

Rookie mistake.  Glad he is getting time in the bigs,  I never understood why we couldn’t bring him up for at least one game.

Worse than merely jogging out of the batter's box, Manny also doesn't even try to speed up when the second baseman repeatedly bobbles the grounder:

I think that would be unacceptable behavior from a "team leader"  and "star" on the current O's.

I think that’s actually worse than anything I ever saw him do for the Orioles.

Manny being Manny.  They knew what they were getting when they bought him.

He did that stuff all the time when he was here. Palmer routinely lambasted him for not running out ground balls he had a chance of beating out or going into a home run trot when it wasn't a home run and being stuck on first base instead of second or third. It's not viewed the same without the orange glasses, that's all. He ran hard sometimes and sometimes, it was like the video.

This video makes it even clearer; I should have posted it earlier. Shows Biggio fumbling the ball slowly and completely *twice* and still beating Manny by at least five steps. Not a trace of speeding up despite seeing clearly what was happening. Not a trace of embarrassment afterwards. It was the first inning and so the eventually lopsided score (Padres lost 10-1) can't serve as an excuse.

Gausman gave up 4 runs in the first inning tonight to the Nationals.  ERA sitting at 4.91.

Did he start with his hands over his head?

I honestly thought that they fixed him in like a week when they got him last year and his ERA was lower than his FIP.

[Moose Milligan]

Yup, don't miss Gausman.  Actually, 8 earned runs for him tonight.

Stefan Crichton was called up again by Arizona. Buncha former farm hands over there. Walker, Jones, Joseph, McFarland...

And the Braves have paid O'Day $9MM+ to rehab. Yet to throw a single pitch with the Braves.
