That catch...

[isestrex]

...should get Markakis the GG like Buehrle's play did last year.

Voters remember nice plays (not stats) and that is going to be shown on ESPN all weekend and monday

No doubt, brother. No doubt.

I really thought that ball was gone coming off of his bat. I was about to cry, but instead, I yelled: OH YEAH!!!!

Same here, I went from "you've got to be f'in kidding me" to "OMG, he caught it" in like .2 seconds.

This is the year!

Prevented Gregg from giving the game away. Markakis looked like Spiderman on that one!

[Catch 8]

Exactly what I signed on to post: Markakis just won his first Gold Glove. Also, precisely +1.0 SHOULD be tacked on to his W.A.R.

[mofome]

the catch heard round the Os nation.

:boogie:

I take back everything I ever said about Markakis defense, he is the god of leather. That was one hell of a catch!:2yay-thumb:

[Birds of B'more]

And I missed it.....because I literally had my head buried in my hands thinking it was a walk-off homer. Didn't think Markakis would even have a shot at it as it came off the bat. Whew!

[JERSEYORIOLE]

Someone tell me who the clowns are on this site that spew defensive stats that say that Nick is average AT BEST and that PIE is better in right then Nick?

All is forgiven, Gordo.

I was thinking homerun all the way after seeing the ball skyrocket off the bat.

Nick just flashed in there at the last second and BAM makes the catch.

Unbelievable. Always knew Nick was a good defensive RF but WHOA that was awesome!

[Moose Milligan]

That was a hell of a catch. I don't care what the metrics say, he's an awesome rightfielder.

Reminded me of that catch that Griffey made off Kevin Bass where he broke his wrist.

[crissfan172]

Markakis...I love you.

Gregg...start pitching in the 8th.

Two great plays by the OF tonight. Of course, Nick's catch. And Pie's throw to nail Upton.
