Hell yeah

Nick the Stick.

Sometimes all you need is a single with runners in scoring position.

 

[Russ2dollas]

Love me some Nick Markakis.

hope you are still saying that in 2017 and 18

Small ball

Small glove

Win every time.

Small bullpen?

Right now his production is a bargain for his contract. I suspect he will be right at value or slightly below in those years.

$44M buys a lot of them, apparently.

Uribe is now batting .291 with some pop and playing good defense. We got him for Alberto Callaspo.

And doubles...

All hail John Hart!

Well that was easy.

That was a hell of a good deal. An upgrade that didn't cost us much of anything.

At first I thought it was kind of silly for 76 to be talking about extenting him, but now I'm not so sure.

When was the last time Fredi raised his voice?

We do not have a third base option internally for next season. If Uribe would take a 2 year deal I'd give it to him. You could trade him if he has a good season and say Ruiz is ready.

Thanks (I think).

My only thought was that we seem to have a hard time finding solid position players at a reasonable price and Uribe seemed to fit that mold. The other plus is that he is one of the few guys in the lineup that can go deep.

 

[Hawk]

Well that inning was entertaining.

 

[jsebe10]

Was Freeman hurt or just a regular double switch?

 

[weso1]

I assumed when we traded for Uribe he was just going to be terrible, but he's looked like a good ball player. And he had a good year last year and the year before. So it's not like there's no possibility of him being a good player for us say this season and next.

A little Panda Bear chin music there.
