Orioles-Padres series preview: A Very Manny Reunion

An Orioles-Padres matchup is rarer than a total lunar eclipse. The last time these two met was in June 2016, a two-game series the Orioles swept. The winning pitchers: Yovani Gallardo and Ubaldo Jimenez. (Serious question: would you want them on the staff today?)

Obviously the talking point of this series is Manny Machado’s return to the Yard as a member of an opposing team. There’s been talk that some fans are planning to boo him, maybe for the Orioles “didn’t show me a little bit of love” comment, or that infamous “I’m not Johnny Hustle” thing?
