The last rookie starter to beat the Yanks to beat the Yanks twice at Yankees stadium was Mike Nagy in 1969. Gonzalez has a chance to beat them 3 times in Yankee stadium as a rookie tonight.

Also ESPN radio discussing the fact that Gonzalez has now struck out 20 Yanks at Yankee Stadium this year and given up ONE walk.

Yep. It's three games, though. We sound like Yankees fans with the way we're all over Jones, honestly. It's really, really easy to go 0-9 in baseball, especially in your first trip to the playoffs.

Not trying to make excuses or anything. I fully realize that things get magnified in the postseason. I just think people need to step back and realize what they're magnifying. How many times did all of these guys go 0-8, 1-9, something like that during the season? I'm guessing it was "many, many times."

Of course. I realize it's only been a few games. Jones is our best player though, and everything is magnified in the postseason. Combine his offensive slump with the bad defensive play tonight that directly led to the only run scoring, and the criticism is more than justified.

If they were DRINKING.............responsibly, I think that might improve their broadcast.

It doesn't help that both of the color guys (Cal and Smoltz) weren't exactly known for their warm, engaging personalities during their careers. They're collectively like eating a box of saltines.

      I think it’s like when our fans are terrified because a team brings up a spot starter from AAA and we fear they are going to turn into Cy Young.

      “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” — A Bartlett Giamatti https://mason.gmu.edu/~rmatz/giamatti.html

      Can Cowser still win Rookie of The Year over Gil/Wells ?

      By Warehouse · Posted

      https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5790069/2024/09/25/mlb-awards-2024-keith-law-picks/?source=user_shared_article Keith Law says it’s clearly Cowser (he has Gil runner up and Langford third), though in a backhanded sort of way. “Two things can be true at the same time: Colton Cowser has been the best rookie in the American League this year, and Colton Cowser is a flawed player who can’t play every day on a playoff team. By any measure, Cowser is leading AL rookies in WAR, and it’s not that close. “

      For the actual breakdown of the components that make up a position player’s rWAR, see Player Value—Batting in a player’s Baseball Reference profile.  There is also a comprehensive explanation of the rWAR formula, see WAR Explained (v2.2). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowseco01.shtml

      End of season melancholy

      Every year at the end of the season, I feel a little melancholy. For me, the end of summer is not the start of school or the arrival of fall, but the end of baseball season. Today is the last day of a long song, and I will miss it. I know we have at least four more days, but those are in a different category, although I will miss that too when it ends. During the darkest days of the season, I posted frequently that the worst day of baseball is still baseball. When the Os played terrible, I would go focus on the Brewers or the A’s or Mariners(who were almost as frustrating as the Os) and follow along with former Orioles, rooting for all of them. That will all stop by tonight, and I will miss it until next February, when pitchers and catchers report. If I’m still here, I’ll be here.    Go Os…

      We have to wait and see. But it shouldn’t matter as you have to beat whomever you play.
