Keep your fingers cross, can't afford a significant injury.

Zach Britton, concern troll.
noJust more reason to dislike this bunch who go under the name Orioles. They are fast replacing the Yankees in the unlikeable category of teams.
In the new tradition of neglecting to say the word "injury", will announcers say that "Dustin Pedroia is out with a lower body"? Kelli might not appreciate that come date night.Sounds like it's a "Lower Body"
The Orioles are always jealous of the Sox-Yankee rivalry. When Jeffrey Maier appeared in 96, the Orioles were saying that the new rivlry was Orioles-Yankees. Now it looks like they want to demonstrate they are the ones who could rival the sox. Never will happen.Just more reason to dislike this bunch who go under the name Orioles.

Honestly, you tell us he had a dip in but not if he was limping?I saw Pedroia leaving the Whole Foods parking lot by MGH around 12:30 PM today. He was driving a Raptor, had a huge dip in, and looked pissed when he overheard me say to colleagues "hey, that looks like Pedroia." That's all I got.
He was probably staring intently at Dustin's lipsHonestly, you tell us he had a dip in but not if he was limping?
The rule also made altering your path to initiate contact or sliding through the bag to initiate contact explicitly illegal (or, better defined those things to make calling them out as illegal easier at least). The slide was very likely illegal, and Farrell was right to argue that point.I didn't see the play live, so don't kill me if I'm misinterpreting what I've heard/read, but it drives me nuts that MLB changed the rules (or at least the interpretation of the rules) so that infielders have to actually keep their foot on the bag to get an out call on these plays - but it's still okay for the runner to do what Machado did and slide into them.
The "neighborhood" call was a good and reasonable way to avoid getting infielders killed trying to turn a DP. If you're going to completely eliminate that, you should hold the Machados of the world accountable when they try to injure a guy anchored to the bag.
I know, and I agree. MLB or the umpires should have punished Machado for the slide. Failing to do that made it very likely that the Sox would issue their own "punishment", which ended up being dangerous and Machado is lucky he's not in the hospital.The rule also made altering your path to initiate contact or sliding through the bag to initiate contact explicitly illegal (or, better defined those things to make calling them out as illegal easier at least).

That's a different thing from it being dirty, of course, but the rule didn't just change for defenders. In fact, it changed for defenders BECAUSE it was changing for runners.
He was driving. His truck was not limping. He did not look pleased. But neither would I if some random just blurted out my name like an excited 10 year old.Honestly, you tell us he had a dip in but not if he was limping?
