  1. Nice OBP but that slugging is brutal. Have to wonder if he can maintain his walk rate.
  2. I forgot the whole making no pretense of fielding a competitive teams for three seasons. And cutting payroll so deep that the Union got upset.
  3. The Astros have ticked off a lot of folks with how they have engineered the rebuild. They have upset folks with how they have handled the draft, with how they have dealt with free agents and how they have approached player development. You also have "old school" folks that think the Astros have gone too far on the analytics side. And of course Weams doesn't like them.
  4. It is going to tick off a lot of folks if they make this work.
  5. In the land of the blind the one eyed man is king.
  6. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Heard This: According to MyKBO sources, Hanwha has agreed to terms with infielder Jake Fox.</p>— Dan (@MyKBO) <a href=" ">May 12, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
  7. That and Nick essentially replaced Heyward who was popular.
  8. On the bright side, there hasn't been any issues with the fans. Right now they are just happy they have a guy batting leadoff that can get on base.
  9. I think it is more of a case of Hart getting it wrong.
  10. Brady and I agree with you.
  11. 2012-2014 .174, .085, .111 Not much power recently but this year he is currently under Juan Pierre level.
  12. I think the main reason for their success was that they skipped the kinda bad stage and went straight to worst team in baseball and stayed there awhile. It also worked well for the Rays and the Nationals. Whereas the O's lingered at the 5th-10th worst team in baseball level.
  13. Maybe they keep shifting on him.
  14. I was just playing point-counter point with you. The results thus far have been very good for Nick.
  15. 432 BABIP. Currently 9th in MLB.
  16. But no error so it doesn't count.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. I don't think they like wind much.
  20. Just think they could be paying Henry Urruita 500K for that sort of production. Of course they would have to repaint his car.
  21. <p><p><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="480" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RBSux4MuIGU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></div></div></p></p>
