vs. GIANTS, 8/10

[Chavez Ravine]

Markakis and Jones had polar opposite at bats....sort of like they switched personas like in a Disney movie.

[scOtt]

When is the last time Nick cranked one? Or got an extra base hit? Or hit it into the gap?Or drove the ball?

Batting practice.

[Norfolk orioles]

Throw strikes Chen!

[OFFNY]

He's at 43 (23 Strikes, 20 Balls) after 2 innings.

The next couple of innings should be interesting, in that either,

A. Gaudin will settle in, and have a couple of quick innings.

OR

B. The Orioles get to him, or at the very least, continue to make him throw a lot of pitches so that he is between 70-80 pitches after 4 innings.

So far, it's the latter.

[scOtt]

Pretty girlies in every camera shot. All over the stadium.

[Norfolk orioles]

Nice play nick!

[scOtt]

Talking about Early Winn (Wynn?) McCarver is a dinosaur.

[Chavez Ravine]

Pretty girlies in every camera shot. All over the stadium.

California living!

[scOtt]

Little bobble and MM had to break out the howitzer.

[Tony-OH]

Whata great play by Manny.. and a horrible call by the play by play guy who acted like it was routine.

[Norfolk orioles]

Another bobble and one hopper and he still nails him.

Ho hum.

[scOtt]

California living!

Holy crap they're EVERYWHERE out there!

[hanging_curve]

When is the last time Nick cranked one? Or got an extra base hit? Or hit it into the gap?Or drove the ball?

Two years ago.

[caesarod]

I didn't think Manny would get him once he double clutched...I should know better by now.

[Norfolk orioles]

He was in foul territory and running away from 1st when he threw that one yet again.
