He will have 3000 in about 4 seasons, maybe a little less, maybe a little more.  Discuss.

Why is this in Orioles talk and why isn't this just part of this other thread?

Also, I don't get the fascination with round numbers.

Since he is not an Oriole anymore it doesn’t make much difference to me.

Al Bundy, no relation, once scored 4 touchdowns in a single game.

Just another O that this team discarded, unfortunately.

They offered him a contract that probably 28 other teams wouldn't have matched.

I've been saying for awhile now, Dylan needed to change his last name.  It only brings misfortune.  If he had changed his name earlier he wouldn't have suffered those injuries that sapped his stuff.  He'd have been a perennial Cy Young candidate.

Nick also has the current longest active consecutive game streak in MLB at 213.

Who has the longest OH posting streak, that’s one for the analytics department.

The old 3-4-1 putout.

Nick has cooled off considerably and Austin Riley's hot start could end up starting the gradual erosion of his everyday playing time.  I worried about this last summer when the Braves picked up Adam Duvall before Duvall completely fell on his face, something that I'm pretty sure won't be the case with Riley.

There's no great pressure until Inciarte returns from his IL stint, but I'd guess NIck's consecutive games streak ends within a few days of Inciarte making it back, even if Inciarte ends up demoted to basic 4th outfielder status.

Must be nice to be Atlanta.

Nick’s been in a pretty ferocious slump the last 15 games, hitting .182/.270/.255 in that time.    In that stretch, his OPS has dropped from .937 to .810.

Nick is in a pretty hellacious slump, hitting .181/.257/.277 over his last 27 games.   With the emergence of Austin Riley and the other young OF talent Atlanta has, Nick’s days as a starter could be numbered if he doesn’t break out of it soon.   To date, however, he’s played in all 64 of Atlanta’s games, starting 60 of them.    

He’s 6 hits away from 2300, 158th all time.   In his next 10 hits he’ll pass Charlie Grimm, Kiki Cuyler, Aramis Ramirez and Dan Brouthers.

I still root for former O's, especially the recently jettison one's and some who have been gone a while like Nick.  Recently, I have been checking the box scores regularly for Arizona (Jones and Walker), Minnesota (Schoop), SanDiego (Machado) and Atlanta (Nick and Gausman) and Los Angeles (because well Trout, WAR be damned).   Checking Atlanta's box score has been very disappointing for quite a while.   Hopefully Nick turns it around soon and Gausman finds his typical second half form.
