    But no error so it doesn't count.

    I referenced Henry's Oriole themed car. That was my driving motivation to post, to make that reference. It also let me call back Henry's time with the team in 2013, since Henry had 1 XBH hit out of 16 and Nick has 1 XBH out of 15. It seemed like a fun comparison. Like I said I don't know of anyone on this board that is hoping Markakis struggles.

    Are you so defensive of your man crush that you feel a need to respond to our obviously jesting posts? I guess you don't need to answer that. As far as I know, no one is wishing ill will toward Markakis.

    I don't think they like wind much.
  5. Can_of_corn
    Just think they could be paying Henry Urruita 500K for that sort of production. Of course they would have to repaint his car.

    He's a gold glove winner!

    Pretty much.

    He's their second best hitter.

    It is probably just observational bias at work but it seems to me the first game back guys seem to do well then they fall back where you expect to see them. I wonder if it could be adrenaline or maybe they are fully rested that first day then start wearing down? Probably nothing to it.

    They might not have been big recruits but Smith and Francis sure went high in the draft. And yes Gary did refuse to play the AAU game.

    Maryland did win a title in that period. Not sure how many titles a program like Maryland is supposed to win in that time span. One seems pretty fair to me, maybe two.

    I saw yesterday's third at bat this morning. He looks fine at the plate but I can't say he exactly squared up the pitch. It was a little bloop but it counts. On a side note the Astros' defense is going to put a lot of pressure on the pitching staff.

    Now can we move all further Markakis threads (up until he enters the Orioles' HoF) to the MLB board?

    He is projected to have the second highest OPS on the Braves. (130 odd points lower then Freeman) http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/instagraphs/2015-offensive-projections-interactive/

    I remember it being somewhere near the ASB in 2005 and thinking "If we can just play .500 here on out the Yankees will have a hard time catching us.".

    So did Nolan.

    I don't have the drive professional athletes have. I would retire rather then risk further injury. Not the neck or head. Possibly not the back.

    Fusion isn't a happy word.

    I am in the camp that doesn't expect Cruz to match his 2014 production going forward.
  24. Can_of_corn
    Who exactly thinks WAR is the be all end all? I love the hyperbole on the other side of the argument.

    I am hopeful we can plug Wieters in.
