vs. GIANTS, 8/10

[calmunderfire]

Would have been more aesthetic if it went into the bay, but can't complain!

[OsEatAlEast]

C'mon Kakes shake those cobweb's out of that swing!

[Moose Milligan]

At least Nick is making him work for this out.

[tntoriole]

A solo HR because he lead off the inning.

Because we went three up, three down last inning.

Did McCarver live under power lines as a kid or something?

I'm not gonna disagree with you, but I'm not going to advocate less of Matt for the sake of keeping Teagarden sharp.

When you're in a pennant race, you have to play your best guys. Rest, in general, can come in the off-season and on off days at this point.

I'm trying not to go off on McCarver because I have two or three infraction solely because of him. The guy is......

Tim McCarver.

When Nick got hit by Sabathia last year, it looked like it was all over for the O's...would it feel that way this year?

[a20havoc]

I meant a problem today. But overall, I agree. Teagarden isn't a problem. A backup catcher should be a good defender, have a decent throwing arm and be able to work well with the pitchers. As far as I can tell, that's what Teagarden is.

I got you. We're on the same page. How many O's subs have we seen this season who fit your description of being "serviceable"? I will say that some of them have come through, though. Ryan Flaherty, Chris Dickerson and Alexi Casilla all come to mind as having made some clutch hits to help win games. Even Steve Pearce has once or twice.

Nice Nick, now Hardy jack one.

[Moose Milligan]

Wow, Nick with a hit. 45 hopper through the hole but it's something. Hell of an at bat.

[weams]

I guess Nick like hitting fifth.

[Norfolk orioles]

There you go nick.....way to get on base!

[TouchemAll]

Nick found a home in the 5 hole
