If not for Frazier, who else would carry this team?

Well, Ryan O'Hearn obviously

Agreed! Ortiz is simply terrible. Can’t believe he’s on the roster. He can’t do anything on a baseball field. Should be playing pickleball with his grandparents instead. 

Stevie Wilkerson was so much better....

What must it be like to be Frazier, playing knowing these rookies are breathing down your neck.

I like how reliable Frasier is when you ask him to lay down a bunt and move over the runner. He gets it done to set up the winning run.

Would love to know what was said between Frazier and Manoah when they were jawing at each other day. Manoah seems to have quite a temper (I remember when he threw at Maikel Franco after we hit some HR's off of him).

I think Fraizer thought Manoah plunked Mountcastle on purpose on that 1-2 pitch just before him.  Gregg Olson thought the very same thing as well.

I'm no lip-reader but Frazier very clearly said, "F you."

Speculating, but I bet Manoah said something like "Go sit down" after Frazier showed displeasure at the called third strike on the check swing.

Olson definitely seemed to imply that.

I didn't think it made much sense given the game situation, but the way Mountcastle reacted (he was visibly pissed off and I thought that was odd, because it was accidental) and then Frazier cursing him out definitely suggests the O's at least thought he was throwing at Mountcastle.

Wasn’t Manoah the guy Hyde yelled at?

Yeah I remember he nearly caused a brawl with the Yankees bench last season. He and Garrit Cole were going at it pretty heated and Cole wasn't even pitching that day.

There's 0% chance Manoah intentionally hit Mountcastle in that situation. I thought it was a pretty ridiculous suggestion by Olson. 

I think Pickles' other post had it right. Manoah barked at Frazier about the fact that he went around, Frazier responded, and Manoah responded back. I saw the Jays broadcast replay in which you can hear/see Manoah repeatedly pointing to the O's dugout and telling Frazier "Go that way."

It's Manoah so I'd never say a 0% chance. 

That being said, I don't think it was.

Manoah has been a punk since the day he first stepped on an MLB diamond. 10-1 there's a serious suspension coming in his future.

I wish we would stop debating whether Frazier was a wise acquisition, and just focus on his play.   We might as well debate whether we should have drafted Ryan Mountcastle when we could have had Austin Riley, or whether Napoleon should have invaded Russia with winter coming on.   It’s done.  

Or my personal fav, why winning those last 3 games allowed TEX to draft Tex ensuring he would not be the next O's HOF to get a statue! Typed with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Can you imagine the angst if the O's had drafted Tex and then he signed with the Yankees as a free agent?
