There’s no doubt in my mind that Manny Machado will win a Gold Glove down the road. If he keeps making plays like he did on Tuesday night, it might actually be this season.
After watching Evan Longoria vacuum up ground balls at the hot corner, Machado did he best Brooks Robinson impersonation on a hard hit grounder to third off the bat of Desmond Jennings in the ninth inning. The 20-year-old barehanded the ball and tossed it to first for the second out of the ninth.
GIFs after the bump.


Starting to think both you and Patrick may be right on the BSR Podcast…

MGW—Why don’t you quit gushing over the O’s and stop making your pink hat remarks. They are doing OK but there are areas of concern as well.
Slapshot – Thanks for taking time off of your gig with the Washington Capitals to write. Life of a NHL Mascot must be tough, but we’re all glad you do it.
Looking back through my last, oh, I don’t know, 40 posts, I cannot seem to find one “Pink Hat” reference that I’ve made. I’m sure that custume gets hot and it clouds your perception and maybe even causes lapses in your memory, but as Caps fans we love it when you ride that 4 wheeler on the ice and get the crowd into the game with the “Let’s Go Caps!” chants.
Keep up the great work, my friend!
