He had 3 hits!

Clearly that was the most important part of this game, which is why the Orioles wo…

Unless it is a stellar performance we vote for our guys

Hernandez pitched very well and Lopez and a great game. However our board is a “homer” board like most are so we tend to vote for our guys. Don’t feel disrespected in the least. Just read our game thread. We are much more critical of our players than you can imagine.

Even Yankees fans voted for Morrow in that one game.

Really?

I thought the Yankees started every game off with 10 hits based on them being a storied franchise.

This shit is dead serious

How dare you.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

That's odd.

I don’t understand how you can root for another AL team and spend time at this blog.

Because this blog is so "other team" friendly.

Nick Markasis vs. Ichiro.

Who is the better defender in RF? Im asking you smart dudes to settle an argument.

Thanks guys.

I saw a local Orioles commercial with some random guy saying Markasis had the greatest throw he ever saw (gunned Johnny Damon at home) and I remarked how he must of not seen Ichiro’s 3rd base throw to get Terrance Long awhile back.

An Oriole fan heard my comment and stated Markasis was better defensively and that I was biased for saying Ichiro was better. I really didn’t see it being close, personally…Markasis has a good arm…but thats about it.

Bingo

For Markakis, it’s all arm.

Markakis probably would have been a gold glover last year on a contending team

He's not flashy like Jeter

And he isn’t black like Beltre, so after thinking about it, I would say that Ichiro is actually a very good comparison as both have good range and very strong arms.

Nick probably has a better gun while Ichiro covers more ground, though.

I don't think you understand the statement.

Jeter and Young are “fielders” in the vague sense that you could say I “enjoy” stepping on a thumbtack. In other words, not at all.

Beltre, on the other hand, is a superb fielder by all measures, both catching and throwing.

Yeah

Yes.

He has ranked above average in previous years (including +12 last year), and at least by reputation he has good range and a really strong arm.

Ichiro at this point

We are talking about a potential HOFer (Ichiro) at this point and a guy (Markakis) the book is still out on. We are both lucky to have talent so good to enjoy. And personally the Clemente throw in the WS against the O’s was the best throw from RF to 3B i have ever seen.
