While not seeing regulars after last night’s home game advantage clincher, I still enjoyed seeing how Urías and Mounty were coming along, how well Cano and Cionel bounced back, how Holliday would look at short, and whether Kjerstad was back. Still am amazed to see Rivera keeping it up, surprised and happy to see O’Hearn’s bat heating back up just in time. Kyle Farmer’s eephus pitches totally caught me off guard, so odd looking.
Fun game to see in person, and really enjoyed the stadium.
Bautista would have been eligible for arbitration after this season, but the Orioles signed him to a two year/$2 million contract before this season. He does get a year of service time for this season.
Jackson was on base 5 times today and no one noticed. I bet if he struck out 3 times and went 0 for 4 there would have been 10 posts. Maybe not the greatest pitchers he was facing, but still mlb pitchers and several different ones. No denying that Jackson had a rough rookie season. I hope today was a sign of a lot of good things to come and Jackson will be Baltimore's leadoff hitter for years.
great explanation, thank you.
I may be a little bias but all I'm hearing is fWAR is far better
baseball references negative defensive WAR value for cowser also just doesn't pass the eye test. he's a plus value defender.
