That's bush league stuff. A's need to get Kyle Farnsworth to be their Machado specialist.

I wish more hitters would throw their bats at the pitcher in retaliation for getting beaned. Why is it cool for a pitcher to use his "weapon" of choice to try and harm a batter, but the batter has zero right to return the favor? And I don't care about the semantics of what causes more harm. I'm sure getting hit with a 50 mph bat is a tad more dangerous than getting hit with a 100 mph fastball, but it's irrelevant because BOTH ARE DANGEROUS AND SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. And what's with everyone jumping on him for trying to hit innocent Josh Donaldson? That's the EXACT SAME thing that happens when an innocent batter gets beaned because his idiot pitcher decided to throw at someone last inning.
That being said, all of Machado's other actions, especially not apologizing to Norris, is that of an immature ******.

As a fan of the Orioles and Machado, I really hope this doesn't mark the beginning of "Manny being Manny" Part 2.

The whole thing is ridiculous but I'd be willing to bet that this is forgotten in a weeks time. Well, until he possibly does something else down the road in which it'll get dug up again.

If the league does not suspend him for a minimum of 3 games then they are pus ass-hats. Because this is not going to go away anytime soon. And they play the A's again in Oakland the weekend of July 18-20. And the show will still go on

ok
As for the Donaldson stuff, look at what he did Friday. Just like was said on Myspace, that's where it all started, because someone took away Machado's Gameboy.

You can improve on work ethic and get over immaturity. You can't fix ******-baggyness. O's fans better hope MM is just being immature.

First off, I have been a fan of machado for a bit, and I HATED this, just hated it! Let me ask something, why did Buck let this escalate? Why was Manny even still in the lineup? Why wasn't he talked to after his childish BS on Friday? Get the damn kid out of the game, sit him for a couple of days, and teach him a damn lesson. I am not trying to blame buck, but he could have been part of the solution. Instead I feel like he was an enabler. ***Note, Buck is one of my favorite, if not overall favorite manager in baseball so it pains me to say that.

Yeah, just saw all this for the first time. Didn't even seem like Donalson tagged him hard. Almost appeared Machado was back peddling to avoid the tag, stumbled, and fell. Probably felt stupid so he decided to go all beast mode on Donaldson who really did nothing.

BOO! to Adam Jones for saying (not direct quote) "You guys in the media are happy now, you made too much out of this".::facepalm::
Personally, I'd have rather seen him get 7-10 games. And I'm an Orioles guy...

It actually seems like Buck has been defending his actions, blaming the A's for their "aggressive" actions toward Machado.
Maybe 4 (which is why Machado likely is appealing)... if one of the 5 games was for the Derek Norris part of the situation.
Seeing the highlight of Norris getting whacked with a backswing Tuesday night, I"m beginning to think it wasn't Machado being intentional to hit Norris with his backswings but rather Norris crouches too far up in the catchers box. That clip from Tuesday night should help Machado's cause for suspension reduction if his backswings were factored into the suspension length rather than just the bat throw and tag overreaction.
