2016 MLB Regular-Season Thread

Machado won't get as many games as Odor. Different circumstances. I'll say it'll be five games in the end. Ventura will also get five games and miss a scheduled start.

 

Always seems to be one team in the middle of these things. Looking forward to further missives about how they are everything that is right with the game.

 

Problem is, Machado started this shit.
Machado crying when he gets pitched inside to. Fly out to left, then start talking shit.
Words exchanged in the 2nd
Someone started it, someone finished it.........won't be over though.
I'm saying Hosmer, Cain, or Dyson wears one early.

 

He started it because Ventura has a well earned reputation for beaning people with 98 mph fastballs. Yordano is a punk bitch.

 

I'm not disagreeing with that.
Someone from the Royals (Lefebvre wouldn't say who, and told the crew not to replay it) was yelling at Ventura.
There's some issues there for sure.

 

I know. It's always the other team's fault. Always. Always the same team in the middle of these. Always the same guy. But always the other guy's fault.

And I doubt one of those guys "wears one early," because - and this might escape those who watch the Royals regularly - not every roster is comprised of immature hot-tempered head-hunters.

 

To be fair, it's obvious I'm a Orioles fanboi, but Machado has been involved in a significant scrap before in Oakland, too. So he's not innocent.

 

There's a pretty good chance Ventura doesn't finish the year with KC. Everybody in the clubhouse is sick of him and Passan is already talking about him being on the trading block.

 

I wonder which Yankees player snuck the pine tar on George Brett's bat, then dressed up as him and tried to attack an umpire.

 

Right, that's probably related to a hotheaded kid who was eight years from being born when it happened.

 

Same fans.

 

If your contention is that Royals fans should stop throwing at guys and getting into bench-clearing brawls, I can't say I disagree.
