When did you become the cranky old grandpa who yells at the kids for letting the baseball get in his yard?

Eventful evening. I missed most of it, as one of the twins is sick and so is my wife.
Re: Ventura's actions in the second ... I have no problem backing Machado off of the plate with. I don't like the jawing, but that started with Machado. A real pro turns his back on it... Re: hitting him. While predictable, unnecessary and stupid. Still... He hit him the "right way" ... In the hip/back. So there's that at least. Re: the team talking about trading him... I'm a little surprised but not completely. They seem to be at their wits end with him. I do wonder if Ventura has entered the "change of scenery" territory, where no matter what, he isn't going to bounce back in his current situation. I'll have to think about swaps that would make sense. Will try to get back and talk about that later today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was curious about this and looking forward to your input. What can we expect to get in return for someone like him?

The good news is that Machados suspension will hurt the Orioles way more than Venturas suspension will hurt the Royals.

Move Yo to the pen. Kid's been trending that direction for a while anyway. If he can get his ****ing $0.02 brain to starting clicking again, give him another shot at starting. What a waste.

It's really hard to predict what type of value he would have, but it likely would fall into one of two categories: 1) swap for another troubled guy. Someone like Yasiel Puig with similar years of control and some upside, but some sort of issue that has worn out his welcome in that locale. 2) swap for lesser talents, but more quantity. I don't see a way they move him for anything that isn't at the MLB level or ready to contribute at the major league level. It's not going to be for a AA pitcher unless they're just desperate to dump him. Maybe they are. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hasn't been much bashing of the analytics world the past week, not around here anyway a
Clinks is right of course, our run diff is really bad now. Only us and FLA have winning records with a negative margin |

At this point I'd like to see Ventura make some sort of small comeback this season before we trade him. His trade value has plummeted to possibly the lowest it's ever been in his career. I really don't know if the Royals could even get a ham sandwich out of the deal at this point.
