Someone is getting cut from the 40 man, right?
Moral of the story is make sure you win the fight or you will get the longer suspensionFarmer1906 said:Suspensions for the Guardians-White Sox brawl:

The promise of Singleton that we thought was to be in 2014 could still be a reality. Who would have thought it.
7nine
I just think some of yall are setting the bar VERY high with Singleton.
I mean the bar is Jose Abreu and Kessinger.....Ag_07 said:

Yup....Ag_07 said:

True but I don't expect him to even get many ABs.
PH a couple times here and there. MAYBE a start at DH is Yanier and Yordan are in the field.

I'm hopeful for Singleton, but the reality is that he's probably a AAAA player.

He's replacing someone on an 0-36 run. And potentially take ABs from Captain Lou Abreu. You would need a micrometer and laser level to find the height of this bar.
Grandal wasn't in the lineup the day before the All Star break. Wanted to just leave early. Made it very clear. Paraphrasing, TA said: 'Fuck him. If he doesn't want to be here, I'll pay for his flight.'

Grandal walked over to TA in the tub and slapped him across the face. https://t.co/G536pevjaA
Man between this and the stuff posted this morning, no wonder Graveman wanted out
I just want a big bearded Yordan at 1B/DH. I don't think that is asking too much.Ag_07 said:

So we wanna take bets on what nasty BP arm Dusty chooses to give Jon his first AB against when we're down late with 2 outs and the winning run in scoring position?
He brings so much more to the table than Bligh Madris. Do you really think that Madris could swing a game late? I don't. This move could very well change a loss into a win. When the standings are as tight as they are right now, that's huge.
I am going with Yennier Cano.Ag_07 said:

Throwing a no-hitter and hitting .500 will do the trick!

Felix Bautista can touch 101.

Not really. I'm just glad to see the organization take a swing. This is an urgency move and I dig it. Works? Great! Doesn't? Same place.

This is an extreme example of what can happen when a team's tv announcer isn't all sunshine and rainbows about the team.
Singleton said Sat. that he thought he was done with ⚾️ after release from Astros after last suspension: “When I did walk away from baseball, I honestly wasn’t thinking about playing baseball anymore at all. It wasn’t even a thought... so things have really come full circle."

No way that is the reason why. Gotta be more to the story.

I get all that.
But cmon...The guy was 3 for 29 in 11 games with the Brewers earlier this season.
Those are Jose Abreu numbers
You would be surprised. I was in broadcasting for several years and there's certain teams and/or networks that are very particular about what you can and can't say and there's a zero tolerance policy if you break those rules.
I did play-by-play for a baseball team once and their rule was you can't mention the weather at all unless you refer to it as a "perfect day". I got in trouble for saying "warm summer day".
I also did some work for a team that wouldn't allow me to say they "lost" under any circumstances. I had to say things like "came up short".

Wow. I would have appreciated that context and commentary. In fact, it ended up being a very positive statement, saying that they've now won 3 of 5 against a very good Rays team.Mr.Bond said:Good god.....bearkatag15 said:Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23.

He's got a 2.7 WAR. The next closest reliver WAR is 1.9.OKCAg2002 said:Farmer1906 said:I am going with Yennier Cano.Ag_07 said:

Felix Bautista can touch 101.
The Baltimore bullpen has 3 of the top 15 WAR delivers (Bautista, Cano, & Coulombe)
Yeah, their bullpen is really damn good.
I think Felix Bautista needs to get some serious Cy Young consideration
MLB shows its appreciation to Jose Ramirez by cutting his suspension in half for knocking out Tim Anderson.
