So many quoes...

 

Meanwhile, on the other end of the clubhouse, Machado, wearing his emotions on the very sleeve of his navy All-Star 2015 T-shirt, gave every indication that Sunday’s loss -- the Orioles’ fourth straight to a Twins club that came to Baltimore two games under .500 but has now leapfrogged Baltimore in the American League wild-card race -- was not just any loss. “Bloop hits. Little ground balls. I mean, it’s just … s--- ain’t going our way.”

 

When asked about his 12th-inning error that put the eventual winning run on base, Machado seemed to get visibly agitated.

 

“I missed the ball,” he said. “Plain and simple. I mean there’s no excuses here. I missed the f---ing goddamn ball and that’s it. You know, it’s just part of the game. It’s just, three days in a row, four days in a row, I don’t how many days it’s been and they haven’t even got the ball out of the infield off of [britton], and he’s blown a couple saves that he shouldn’t have and …”

 

Then Machado paused, took a deep breath, and exhaled. Of all the choice words that he spewed in those 3 minutes, 40 seconds in front of his locker -- and there were quite a few -- it was the sigh that perhaps spoke the loudest and most tellingly conveyed the pent up frustration of another golden opportunity lost in an up-and-down season that, in the space of just four short days, seems to have gone off the rails.

 

“I missed on it. I whiffed on it. It’s just plain and simple,” said Machado, his emotions resuming their journey. “I know you guys want to write all this stat [stuff] and velocity of the ball and all that. Man, this s---; it’s baseball. It’s f---ing baseball. We gotta go out there and make plays and catch the goddamn ball, and that’s it. There’s nothing really to it.”

Where did he complain about the team's bad luck? It sounds like he's just frustrated that they made some defensive miscues.

Get real, we're 12-24 in one-run games.. now that's bad luck.

 

Shea Hillenbrand would be most displeased.

 

It seems like the Orioles got used to being lucky. Nice to see the ball bounce the other way.

No that was the 10 War Buck Showalter doing his thing. Orioles are just extremly unlucky this year though that even Buck cant overcome it

In my slo pitch league a guy lined one at the pitcher, he caught it then proceeded to chuck the baseball at the hitter.

Well in softball some guys think it's intentional, because if you wanted to you could shoot the box on purpose.

I've been in a hole I guess....Machado actually tried to throw the bat and hit Donaldson at 3rd? what a douche.

He tried to hit the pitcher but has horrible aim

It was last year, here is the sequence of events

 

- Donaldson tags Machado, Machado throws helmet and gets in his face, his pitcher runs out defending him

- Pitcher hits Donaldson

- Machado hits Norris with his backswing, knocking Norris out of game

- A's pitcher throws inside but doesn't hit Machado

- Machado tries to fire bat at him next pitch

Just insanity. Machado is a hot head. I just hope he doesn't go all Jose Offerman on someone, but I wouldn't put it past him.
