Manny Machado left Monday’s game against the Rays after twisting his leg on a single in the seventh inning against the Rays. The 21-year-old fell to the ground in pain and was carted off the field in St. Petersburg.
The injury is devastating news for the Orioles and their fans. I’m still stunned and hope it isn’t as severe as it looked on TV. Here’s a GIF if you’d like see for yourself. I decided not to include it in our post here because it honestly makes me a little queasy watching it.
Machado has started every game for the Orioles this season and 207 consecutive games since being called up in August of 2012. He is hitting .282/.313/.431 with 14 homers and 51 doubles this season and is one of the leading Gold Glove candidates at third base this season.
Devastating injury for the club. All of my prayers are with Manny for a full and speedy recovery. Terrible.
It’s the end of the season , it’s over , devastating is the wrong word , try unfortunate . He has the entire off season to get healthy , he will be OK . Deaths are devastating , injuries are unfortunate .
Maybe you and Zach can hold a vigil .
Wow, new low for you to make light of this situation spy/mysteryman/surprise guest.
It is definitely a new low.
A man’s livelyhood could be at stake for all we know, but you hide behind a keyboard everybody’s a tough guy.
I agree with the word devastated because it doesn’t just affect these 6 games, it is going to affect next season
The Mall tragedy is devastating , an injury in a kids game is unfortunate . His lively hood is not at stake people , it’s an injury . Get real , it’s only a game , people dying at the Mall is devastating . Grow up a bit .
Thanks for the compliment if you think I am Spy . I agree with him most of the time .
P . S . , I’m not Spy .
Hey guys,,,,,,,,,,I still view this site once in a while , not often but once or twice a week at best,,,,,,,,,,I told myself to move on and not comment anymore but I must do so one more time,,,,,,,,,,I have no idea who ‘surprise guest’ is,,,,,,,,,,gentlemen , it is not me,,,,,,,,,,,it was terrible what happened to Manny and I cringed when I saw the replay , I certainly do not wish him any harm and hope he has a full recovery,,,,,,,,,,,,
I do miss the enlightened conversation with MGW and friends but it was time for the spy to move on as I thought the quality of the contributors had diminished and were not of the quality Zach and friends are posting,,,,,,,,,,,
The O’s had a wonderful year and I believe they are two position players away from getting to a world series , second base and DH , oh yea , and they must play Nate more in left field like 130 games or so,,,,,,,shore up the pitching a bit and magic can happen,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,good luck to all……………
Cry baby .
