With all due respect to Spencer Hall who is hilarious, I stopped considering anything coming from the SB Nation family of sites "responsible sports journalism" after the Holtzclaw kerfuffle (and I probably shouldn't have held on that long).
Orioles....part 2?
From Roch:
Zach Britton is on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left forearm, making him eligible to return on April 26. He told reporters that the discomfort is closer to his wrist than elbow, which brings a huge sigh of relief.
You hear ?strained forearm? or ?flexor mass? and immediately think ?Tommy John surgery.? It?s an overreaction that comes from all the examples of pitchers who eventually have to undergo the procedure, including Dylan Bundy, who turned in his third quality start yesterday.

Unfortunately, that doesn't happen to the Angels, as our free agent/transaction track record is among the worst in baseball.
I will meter my expectations.
At this point, teams are just throwing at Machado because it fun to watch him cry, right?

Doesn't mean Sale isn't a knucklehead.

Britton back to DL.
The Angels have acquired right-hander Damien Magnifico from the Orioles in exchange for righty Jordan Kipper. Both teams have announced the deal, and both players have been assigned to their new clubs? respective Triple-A affiliates.
Magnifico-o-o-o!

That's pretty much my take. Great name.
There sure are a lot of people who like the Os, around here. I hate birds, so fuck them.

Red Sox proving yet again why NE fans and players can be total assholes. So glad they won that last game.

Rushed back against the advice of the medical staff and will now be out 2 months.
No structural damage detected, so there is that.
Happy 80th to the best there ever was
Anybody at the game tonite? Guess not since this fell to page 3.
Nats win again!!!!!!!!!!!!
“It rained all day that day, and the forecast said it would rain until 9:30 or 10,” Rizzo said. “I sat in Buck’s office at 6:30, and we talked about it for 20 minutes. He was 100-percent on-board. He didn’t say anything about not canceling the game.
“Their GM [Dan Duquette] was nowhere to be found for three, four hours.
We wanted to play the next day. They refused to play then, so the next [open] day was [Thursday]. They drove 32 miles to get there. We flew 3,000 [expletive] miles, and we beat their [behinds]. So quit your whining. Quit whining.”

Both teams had a lot to whine about this past weekend. Nats fans can be thankful that there aren't any other quality teams in their division. The Yankees are scary good right now.
