Eddie Murray vs. Royals 8/11

[eddie83]

Great baserunning there, weird inning so far.

Until he proves other wise I'd bat Q #2 .333, 358. 476.

Buck did say he was a guy that would change the lineup often. I feel like he hasn't necessarily stayed true to that word..

Wow....just wow

[Goober Noodles]

Wow. WOW.

WOOOOOOOOWWWWW

Good defense ...... good enough, anyway.

Yeah, I'd actually be happy w/ that. Q won't keep up his current production but he has good on base skills.

That'll do, Q.

[OFFNY]

Wow. WOW.

WOOOOOOOOWWWWW

We sprinkled a little bit of Oriole Magic on them on that play.

It's one of the few things you can do on this board with absolutely no fear of anyone disagreeing/disapproving.

I haven't seen them and I'm extremely surprised they're abysmal. Not only does he look good when he plays us (like you say), but I listened to the Royals telecast back when we were playing them in May and their announces were positively raving about his defense. Saying he should be an all-star candidate on his defense alone...

I dunno, I like my stats as much as the next guy, but defensive metrics still tell me things I can't make sense of sometimes...

It's interesting. He was very good last year (10.2 URZ) and he's currently at -21 UZR/150. Most of it is range, too. DRS (+/-) has him at -5 (after being +10 last year) so it's pegged him as bad, too.

Uh... what just happened? I saw AJ misplayed a ball and somehow we have 1 down instead of zero. I had turned channel. :laughlol:

I think he thinks Hardy will get more fastballs there. If Nick is on base and the middle of the order coming up. You hit him at the bottom of the order no one would challenge him as much, just looking at it from another view.

2 outs.

That base-running blunder gave Lindstrom, Jones, and the rest of the Orioles a new lease on still having a good chance to be able to put up a goose-egg this inning.

[Goober Noodles]

Troy Patton is such a badass name.

[El Gordo]

I was very impressed with Manny's AB. I don't think AJ could have laid off some of those pitches today, let alone at 20. It's early but he could be a #3 in the not too distant future.

Yeah, and I can't think of a plausible reason why that would be so...maybe they cut the grass very rarely in KC and tons of infield singles just die before he can get to them? (I don't actually mean to suggest this is a possibility, but hell, these things matter) It's weird.
