That catch...

my fault, I pulled my dirty Nick jersey from the hamper just in time. My birthday is tomorrow, my son drove up from college, so we went out to dinner. I followed on my phone best I could, got home in the 8th. Changed, just in time. Big time heart attack city with Gregg. Nick saves us.

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?

Yeah, you clowns!! Come on out and show your faces! You got some 'splainin' to do! :beerchug1::wedge::vader:

Anyone else see the fan try to snatch it? Imagine if he had caught it -- fans would never have believed Markakis makes that play. That fan would have been tarred and feathered at best by his team's own faithful.

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

Absolutely astounding catch by Nick. Just doesn't much better than that. :smile11:

Perfect throw by Felix. He might have some shortcomings, but his strong, accurate arm is not one of them. :mwahaha:

    • Where are you getting your stats from that's not correct looking at OPS.
    • On the O's this year, Martinez would have been: 5th in OPS 5th in AVG 6th in HRs in 120 games
    • I think PFF is grading Roquan badly because the safeties behind him are playing like ass and it's making him look bad.  If teams are going to attack him over the middle on crossing routes with WRs (like KC did with Rice) he doesn't really stand much of a chance if the safeties behind him don't throw him a bone.  He's still a huge help in the run game.   In general I think PFF assigns a little too much blame to linebackers on passes over the middle, so unless you're an elite coverage guy at LB it's really hard to grade well.  The flip side to this is that teams probably need to adjust their coverage areas to account for the fact that LBs aren't going to be able to hold down WRs for long.  
    • Thanks. This tells me what my eyes have seen with Roquan. He's been a liability in coverage and the fact that Simpson is ahead of him is not good for our defensive leader. Do you have the PFF grades for offense too?
    • What you want is perfectly reasonable.  But you seem entirely to focused on money.  The team needs to work to improve.  I don't care what it costs, you shouldn't either.  They are going to spend money and payroll will be higher next year and the year after that.  We need them to make improvements and some of that is rightfully going to come from within and not cost much. The improvements that are needed are going to cost too, I'm not saying they wont.  But ownership and the GM should simply work in tandem to make sure the team has what it needs.  I am not really concerned about how much that costs because it should be able to be done without jumping this particular team into say top ten in payroll.
    • This is the right approach. the orioles should be spending more money and I believe they will, but I expect it to be measured with less risk (ie we won’t be handing out a Hader type deal or a  long term contract to Santander IMO) improving on some of the obvious weaknesses certainly makes sense.    1x SP: Burnes, Fried, Buehler 1x RH OF/DH: Martinez, O’Neill, Profar 1x 1B: (wishlist) Alonso, Walker
