Sun 6/14 ATL vs Os

[Austin]

In the 90's and into the early '00's the Braves were arguably America's team. They have a lot of fans everywhere, so it's never surprising to see a lot of Braves fans at the yard. I'm sure some are from Atlanta, but more are just Braves fans living in the area.

True, but the Richmond Braves really ruined this state for me as a young baseball fan. Nothing but Braves fans everywhere.

You know, the O's might want to consider resting Roberts once a week and Izturis once/twice a week to see if Andino has a long term future with this team. He's been putting on a pretty good show for a UTI guy. I would wager that he doesn't have the arm to handle 3rd except for an emergency, but he wouldn't really be needed there with Wiggington on the team.

BB is having a really good start so far. If he can keep this up, I think we're seeing our #4-5 of the future. Just as I say this, Anderson doubles. Still, I really like the fact that he looks like a work-horse.

And another great play by Andino!!

If he's got the arm for SS, he's got the arm for 3rd. The main issue is that he's a very light hitter to be taking up a CI spot. The only way I'd do that is if he turned into a GG-caliber [yup] glove at third and an OPB/stolen base machine. If those things happened, he can man the hot corner for as long as he likes.

That Penn/Andino trade is looking better every day.

Especially since Penn has been sent outright to Triple-A New Orleans.

Andino looks like a vacuum out there. He goes to his right into the hole and has the arm for it, he goes left and gobbles up those balls up the middle. Likin' it.

Santana is getting killed today. 11-0 Yanks.

Yeah I saw that... they're taking their frustration out on the pitcher that could have been theirs for the meager price of Hughes, Melky and Ian Kennedy...

Has there been a backlash since the Braved moved the team?

Yeah, he can definitely field the position. He is contributing a little with the bat also.

The Yankees are up 11-0 over the Mets, scoring 9 ER off of Santana in 3 IP.

Whats the stadium like? It looked pretty packed yesterday.

Pretty big crowd today. Not sure if it matches the 30K of the last couple nights, but it's close.

That's the bad news.

Here's the better news.

Florida-8 Toronto-3 in the 7th.

[SrMeowMeow]

There's no way Andino can hit enough for 3B.

[O-The-Memories]

Somebody had to bring a downer to this thread. Enough about the MFY's, let's hear it about how well things are coming together for the O's today.

It's encouraging that Wiggy may be heating up a little bit. We need him to come around with the power and get that average up.

YES!!! Pie comes through!! Nice hit man!

[Mike B]

Alright Felix!!!

[Crazysilver03]

Wow, Wigginton somehow scores on that hit to CF. Nice for Pie to get in the jam.

8-0 O's.:clap3::clap3:
