Notice Machado also came far closer to hitting Angel Hernandez than anyone else with that bat, which is hilarious on multiple levels.

Well first there was this

http://m.mlb.com/bal/video/topic/8879002/v33486795/oakbal-benches-clear-after-donaldson-tags-machado/?c_id=bal

Which was responded to by Donaldson being thrown at twice (hit the second time), first one was kinda up around his head.

And then today there was this

http://m.mlb.com/video/v33549401/oakbal-norris-exits-the-game-with-an-injury/?c_id=mlb

Which knocked Norris out of the game. Note Machado makes no sign of caring that he hit a guy in the head with his bat.

Ultimatlely leading to this in his next at bat

http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/6479266/v33552351/oakbal-tossed-bat-starts-altercation-in-baltimore

Which was actually the second pitch thrown at him by Abad. First one was around his knee.

Machado just seems like a big dumb baby. He got mad about being tagged too hard, wtf

We must get him to exactly 50 innings and then never allow him to pitch for the rest of the season.

He missed a lot of time with a serious knee injury from what I recall, so you can understand him being a little extra sensitive to anything that might risk aggravating that (having to dodge a tag in that situation could qualify, USUALLY guys just throw to first since it's not a force play).

Or at least you could if he were not so reckless and unrepentant about causing injuries himself [Norris].

I don't know, I've seen this wild Machi last year, and it came in a stretch of appearances. I hope it doesn't happen again.

But yes, you're right, Affeldt! :argh:

And not even just "this year", he got the pins removed, so it should be relatively soon.

Wow. Just saw the Machado bat throw. That was blatant. Gotta assume there's going to be a fine for that. What a shameful, embarassing series.

That said, unless the camera angles I saw were really bad, the "injury" to Norris looked like bullshit. The bat hit the mask, and nothing else. His head didn't even budge.

Yes, because faking an injury and been pulled from the game makes so much sense.

Just look at Norris's expression when he's being examined. Dude's been knocked loopy.
