Tracking Ex Oriole Thread

Seems unlikely they'd have him travel if he wasn't starting.

I agree. Plus, they probably want him to get as many ABs as possible.

[Frobby]

I agree, and I hope he has a great season, except if and when they play the Orioles.

July 27-29.

July 27-29.

and maybe post season.

I think the Braves are even bigger underdogs than the Orioles in the eyes of the oddsmakers and projectionists. But that's why they play the games.

Orioles 25-1 to make World Servies

Braves 35 -1 to make World Series

Of course, what do odd makers know?

Best wishes to Nicky.

[Redskins Rick]

He is indeed DHing and batting 3rd. He's 0-1.

Can you image the OH crowd, if Buck batted him third here? LOL

He is projected to have the second highest OPS on the Braves. (130 odd points lower then Freeman)

He's up right now. Looks the same, nice short beard action.

Open stance, just rocketed one into the gap for a double. Feldman may have given him a cheapie down and in.

Scores on an RBI single.

He's batting .500 in Spring Training.

I can't believe that we let him go. :angryfire:

Nick finished the day 2 for 3. I'm glad to see that he's back on the field and making good contact with the baseball. I wish I could say the same for Matt Wieters.

Now can we move all further Markakis threads (up until he enters the Orioles' HoF) to the MLB board?

[Frobby]

He is DHing Monday.

And went 2 for 3 with a double and two runs scored. Nice to see.

Agreed, that's where it belongs now.

I am glad it fixed him. Great.

I am glad it fixed him. Great.

I wouldn't draw that conclusion based on one spring training game. But 2 for 3 beats 0 for 3, and Nick's track record is that it takes a lot to keep him off the field.
