It was just a procedural move to allow him to spend a couple extra days with his newborn: https://dodgersnation.com/dodgers-news-evan-phillips-expected-to-rejoin-team-in-pittsburgh-today/2023/04/25/

Sports fans on message boards are forever equating professional sports and their athletes to "real world workplace" issues.

Or actual war.

It is astonishing isn’t it?  

But back to Manny. I’ve watched the video, I do think he bumped the ump (with intent I don’t think....), But is that everyone’s general consensus?   If so, one game does seem lite.

I don't care.  Bump an umpire, get a game...I mean, whatever.  He slammed a helmet, the flung a bat.  The umpires acting like they're abused housewives is dumb, too.

Yea, I guess.  And an incidental bump, who cares.   But does an accidental bump become more if allowed?   In the major sports, probably not.  But I get why some are upset.    

If.....he truly bumped the ump.   I am honestly not even sure about that

A bump is a bump...I mean, c'mon, it's not like he threw a right hook.

Don’t make me go all @atomic on you  and tell you about my glory days in basketball when I could bump someone 50 yards off the court!    Ok, that wasn’t me.  But I still get why people and the umps are upset.   You give a little....

Suspend him 30 games. He is a repeat offender he punched a player and threw a bat at another, I still don’t understand why his violent streak is tolerated. Perhaps a lifelong ban is really in order.

I finally saw it and it wasn’t that bad. Maybe he was just being a leader and getting his team fired up. Haha

I don't know why you're being so lenient.  He physically assaulted an umpire. Tell me why he shouldn't be in prison doing hard labor on a chain gang for 6-10 years.  I mean, he does have a long history of psychotic behavior. These kind of people shouldn't be allowed in civilized society. Won't you think of the children?

You are probably right.

Oh give me a break.  I mean, I should know better than to reply to you these days but c'mon.  Bumping an umpire isn't violent.

His brother -in-law,Yonder Alonso should also be suspended. His sister is married to Manny and she is an enabler. If we don't stop it now,who knows where it will lead. Going 45 in a 30 MPH zone. Taking extra sugar packets from IHOP. 16 items in the 15 items or less check out line. Having a special request at a fast food joint. Mattress tag ripping. .

My wife took some ketchup and mustard packets from the pool bar at the place we're staying yesterday, and didn't even buy anything.  We're now living under assumed names in a fortified compound in Central America, with a wing reserved for Manny's family. #outlawlife

We have it all . SIGINT and HUMINT confirms this misdeed. We will find you and your wife and start extradition proceedings.

      Wild card series roll call

      By SteveA · Posted

      So it is different from last year? Last year the games were something like 3:00, 4:30, 7:00, and 8:30.   Have they said it will be different this year???

      The discussion about Cle vs NYY is interesting. The Os always struggle at Cle and their BP is awesome but the starters are meh and so is the offense. I prefer to play NY. Worse pen, doesn’t run as much.  Not a bunch of contact hitters.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      Bautista, if he is back to his old self, would be a big addition. Dominguez and Soto have to improve the walk rate. They certainly have swing and miss, but at a significant cost. Cano can throw up in the zone and get misses, but he is used so often he is rarely sharp. He is used to induce ground balls, and the sinker is fairly effective when he is tired.  Akin, Webb and Coulombe are getting some swing and miss. They are all above average in swinging strike percentage, according to FanGraphs. MLB average is generally around 11.2% from year to year, and Akin (second on the Orioles behind Grayson 13.6) is at 13.2, Dominguez 12.4, Cano 12.2, Soto 12.9, Webb 11.8, Coulombe is 9.9 and Cionel 9.5. In fairness to Coulombe (11.8) and Webb (13.7), they are higher over the last three years. They have not been healthy for a fair amount of this season and pitched through some things that made those numbers dip, perhaps.  Bautista was 18% in the same period of 2022-2024. He would be 11th in MLB in 2024. No other Oriole is in the top 100 in MLB. Grayson Rodriguez is at #120. It should be noted that Andrew Walters is at 18.8, ranking 7th. He was our unsigned 18th round pick in 2022. All of that aside, I am not sure the pen is structured the same as in recent years. There may be some moves there. Or, perhaps it is like you wrote, and they focus on Soto and Dominguez making adjustments to having more command, decreasing the walks. Those two are getting a little expensive as well. I guess we’ll see.

      How much different? They sat Judge yesterday, they threw their playoff starters for 5+ innings yesterday and today. They are also playing for the best record in the AL. They aren't mailing it in.

      2024 Playoff ticket availability

      By KojiSplit · Posted

      It’s not just the O’s. I’ve checked the Dodgers who have similar prices and they have a lot of upper deck NLDS games 2 & 3 available. Same for the NLCS. yanks still have seats available also. — In general, I’m sure alot of fans are just gonna wait till the day of to grab tickets.

      That makes no sense. If they had to win their current series would have looked much different.
