6/19: Orioles at Tigers

[Norfolk orioles]

Damn nick swings at ball 4.

[LAOSfan]

Wow, that's a great one too. Venable looked like Jim Edmonds diving backwards in center.

And it saved the game, which they eventually won.

[Orioles4Life21]

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

Sounds like someone's got a case of the Mondays.

[schittenden]

Great at-bat, unfortunate result. Don't see that too often.

[Orioles4Life21]

Just imagine Nick in the playoffs last year. What a crime. come on nicky

He could've been a difference maker in the Yankee series for sure.

[calmunderfire]

That's not what he eye told him.

Are numbers all you guys think of? Where is the heart in the game? Where is actually deciphering and using you're own brain to think things through? A stat sheet full of run values and crazy metrics don't tell me what I see. My eyes do.

I say Jones gets a hit here. If not blame me for jinxing him.

Well, then in your case, you may need glasses.

Thorne is a walking jinx. Seriously how many times a game does he jinx one of teams? It seems like every time Nick strikes out, seconds earlier Thorne goes "And Nick continues to be the most difficult batter to strike out in the AL".

[OrangeJerseys]

Let's go Jonesy.

[Norfolk orioles]

Great double steal!

[anrynike]

Wow, pressure on now.

Another frame worthy post.

Hey, look.

Markakis got the runners over.

Productive strikeout.

I scout with my eyes all the times, then I use metrics and stats as tools to validate what I see and occasionally make me re-evaluate what I saw. Your eyes take on small sample sizes, the stats and metrics do not.
