Your first sentence has nothing to do with the rest. There are no O’s fans who disagree with the rest; the problem is we don’t think we can keep him when he’s a free agent after next year. And if that’s true, then they should trade him, no matter how good he’s going to be.

They simply can’t afford him after he hits the open market, and they doubly can’t afford to let him walk for nothing. The team isn’t very good, has no depth, nothing in the system, so they might as well get as much for him as possible a la the White Sox.

Manny’s value will only go down by waiting. A contender trading for him now gets two postseason runs instead of one. Nobody’s going to think they’ll get a significant discount just because he has a low BABIP. Everyone knows about BABIP luck by now, and his track record shows he’s, well, Manny Machado. Now is the time…

Light sell this year, trade Manny next year, when he’s hitting. What has Orioles fans pissed is that we clearly suck and Duquette’s talking about buying. Is he on acid?

For most tennis players, the first fault isn’t usually a problem. Now, if this reopened investigation also concludes that Williams caused the accident, that would be a double fault, and the advantage in the case goes to her opponent.

The shooting motion may be ugly, but at least he’s shooting from 5 feet behind the 3 point line.

So I actually had the same shooting motion back in highschool (and worked very hard to try and correct it). The reason for it in my case was that I’m left handed, but right eye dominate. So, when lining up a shot, my brain instinctively wants “straight up” to be aligned with my right eye, even though my left hand is…

I’d prefer Draymond go back in time and destroy Lavar’s dick and (ensuing) Balls.

I think the real question is, who does #2 work for?

Lavar said that if Lebron played on the Lakers with Lonzo they’d win the title. I’m related news, if I played with Lebron on the lakers they’d win the title but I wouldn’t take so many bad threes.

His entire game makes looks like that of the best player on a small town high school team.

So he’s not buying the Marlins either?

Torch is right. Its a funny picture and he took the time to research what it was and what it does and explain that it wasn’t really harmed. I fully support this article. Keep in mind this is Jalopnik, not a nightly news show. Thanks Torch.

I hope Jeter gave him a gift basket on his way out the door.

I completely get that rational, except for the small fact that there aren’t “KKK” signs hanging in outfield corners. The letter K simply gets hung up multiple times, and at one point in time, there will only be 3 of them.

Because people assume racism? Once the answer is given (it’s not hard to just say “K means strikeout, and they’re counting strikeouts”), the confusion ends.

The following part is “C”, the final paragraph, which the comment I was responding to mentioned. This was a good article until that last part.

“For any knowledgable baseball fan, that’s basically irrelevant and easy to ignore, but for newcomers to the game, it can raise concerns. Last year, during Game 7 of an instantly legendary World Series, the triple-K was displayed, and people somewhat understandably moaned.”

Think of the impact he could have on average MLB game length stats if he just intentionally walked all these guys instead of actually pitching to them. It would save his arm some work, too.
