Manny 3-3 yesterday with 2 homers and 3 RBI's. Should have signed with the Rockies. Coors is good for your slumps. He might get hot now. Should be real hot in about 10 days when he sees Camden Homer Yards pitching.

I think the Rockies are pretty solid at SS/3B.

While Brault did allow eight hits, which was his most allowed in a game since May 12, none were for extra bases, and the Marlins went 1-for-5 with runners in scoring position. Brault got off to a horrific start this season, but he owns a 3-0 record with a 2.05 ERA in his last six starts. Overall, Brault is 3-1 with a 4.40 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 40 strikeouts in 47 innings. He will start again Friday at home against the Padres.

 

Manny now on a hot streak. Last seven games batting .300 with 3 homers and 7 RBI's.All three homers at Coors.L

In his defense, the ball was way outside. He really went off on Welke, threw his helmet and later threw his bat which got him booed off the field. At least he didn't throw it at anyone this time.

Can't link to the specific video, so scroll down and find it on the left side. Machado gets ejected in the 5th.

It's funny. If you watch when it shows the ump and the Padres manager discussing what happened, it looks like Welke was saying "He walked right up to me and said it was a horse sh-t call!" and the manager replies with "He walked up to you and said it was (something). Come on! F'in (something)" .. my lip reading skills aren't perfect. So, I guess Welke threw him out for that?

    • Well said! Like you, I go back to about 1970 and the # of posts someone has is irrelevant to me. The fact that so many on here think there you know what don't stink keeps me, and I'm sure others from joining in more. I know what I know about this team and I don't feel the need to prove myself. And btw the closest that I've ever lived to Baltimore is the very most western part of Illinois.
    • To me none of that matters. Baker was throwing the ball well.  Had spin and velocity.  Go with that. Again, goes to show how many managers don't go by feel anymore and instead just go by what the book says.
    • You will get used to that around here.  The people saying you can't say anything about the Os unless you have played baseball for 20 years or been an Os fan for 50 years.   Bottom line is Baker, as mediocre as he is, was actually throwing the ball pretty well.  His pitches has spin and velocity and he had just struck out his last batter. To take him out for a complete and utter scrub?  And I say scrub in the best way possible?  Was ridiculous. Hyde was playing text book/by the book baseball instead of actually MANAGING BASEBALL by instinct and feels. And he got burned for it.  And it has not been the first time. 
    • Brecht has TOR upside.  We’re good at finding #3-#5 types just in developing them, but we need that TOR arm upside and develop. 
    • I thought Baker had a better chance of getting a strikeout. Even though he created that mess it looked like he could have worked out of it.  Generally not in favor of bringing in guys for bases loaded situations unless they’re absolute nails and have an extremely high K rate.  Akin’s K rate is higher this year but I still don’t believe he was the better option than Baker. 
    • We’ve been picking really athletic types when not picking high in rd 1. Position player wise.   2023 - EBJ, Horvath, Josenberger, Cunningham, Etzel Not that are prior picks haven’t been athletic, if you know what I’m trying to say. We don’t take plodders as position players.
