Trying to remember if those words have been typed previously on this board?

nope

"Who better for the 'blast' than Nick Markakis?"

Actually, Chip, I could probably come up with a couple of better candidates.

 

[Enscheff]

Now we need a blast. Who better than Nick Markakis.

You can’t make up this type of dumb.

 

[msstate7]

Regression

 

[CyYoung31]

LMAO. Wow.

 

[jpx7]

Lol Riley.

Didn’t even look like he swung that hard.

Riley might be a better option for the long ball.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

[nsacpi]

Riley Riley Riley

2 for his last 15, those 2 hits being HRs with men on base.

Insane.

Insane.

At least he’s taken a couple walks over that stretch.

Ev of only 93 mph. Weak for him.

I keep thinking he will level out...maybe this is just him....hitting a dinger every other game lol.

He's not an 81 HR a year guy... he'll only hit 72-75 a year

He always adjusts to each level he is at. Soon we will see 2 homers every 3 games.

 

[Enscheff]

Going 2-15 with 2 bombs and getting 7 RBI out of it is so awesomely lucky I can’t even describe it haha.

Riley is the chosen one for now.

 

[CyYoung31]

He already is leveling out. Luckily the few hits he gets happen to be homers in huge situations.

 

[nsacpi]

he's not a Golden Wren but he is still awesome

While we have a moment, former Braves farm hand Matt Lipka, playing for Trenton in the Yankees system, broke up a no hit bid with a bunt with one out in the ninth inning. Benches cleared after the last out.
