It will be interesting to see how playing time gets allocated from here. Bencosme has been the regular shortstop the last couple of months and has hit very well.   Now you’ve got Holliday and Young both in the mix.  My guess is guys are going to jump around.

Another 2 BBs tonight out of the lead off spot.  His OBP is .180 higher than his avg through 60+ PAs.  He’s quietly having an amazing start to his career.  25 BBs to 11Ks so far.  Impressive.

Saw Jackson's dad Matt hit a home run for Asheville at Delmarva's

Perdue Stadium in August of 1999 - my gracious I'm getting old!

I think references to the Hagerstown Suns is where you cross the age threshold. I still think of Delmarva as a new affiliate. 😁

Billy Rowell had a .929 OPS at Bluefield and got promoted to Aberdeen, where he posted .876 in 11 games.   That was a very impressive debut, especially considering that he was only 17 at the time.   Never would have guessed then that he’d never make it to The Show.  

While he did have a nice debut season between Bluefield and Aberdeen for a 17-year old OPS wise, (he turned 18 in Sep of that year) he did strike out 59 times to 29 BBs in 229 PAs. He also made 10 errors in 47 games at 3B. 

That K-BB ratio in my opinions is very important to see at the lower levels. 

Maybe my favorite stat of Holliday is his 10 BB to 2 K ratio. That's off the charts for an 18-year old even in an extreme small sample. It shows that he's not overly aggressive or felt a need to impress everyone every at bat. If they aren't going to throw him strikes, he'll take the walk. That's impressive to me.

Simple.  Gunnar to the O's, Ortiz to Norfolk, Hernaiz to Bowie, Bencosme to Aberdeen!

Holliday looked very good UNTIL his last time up. 3-3 game bottom 9.  He got ahead 2-0.  I guess he wanted the walk off.  He totally sold out for a homer.  Stepped in the bucket and took back to back hellacious swings and came up with nothing but air.  Took a called 3rd strike which his how he went down on the other K.

Aww. And I was here thinking he was super mature and resisted those moments with that very mature bases loaded walk earlier in the game. 1 for 2 in that aspect, I guess.

The Swing Decision postgame debrief will be waiting for him at...the Red Roof Inn?

Draft night it looked like Dad and Mom have some other kids (plus he's 18, a high school graduate and has a job), I wonder if Team Boras or the Orioles have helped set him up anywhere for this Delmarva month.

      Or the Williams sisters, but I doubt he'd mention girls.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Greg Pappas · Posted

      Possible? Sure. Yet, I'd be surprised by any trades in the divisions, unless it was considered a minor one.  I doubt Elias would want to see any of his prospects helping an AL East rival when he can get similar players elsewhere.

      Tiger Woods, of course, standing as an excellent example of a guy who was precociously skilled at a sport at a very young age (because his dad made him play) but never quite got there as a pro. There’s some merit to what you’re referencing here. I would absolutely buy that his lifelong exposure to baseball is a significant factor in his success at a young age. But I think that type of thing is far more applicable when evaluating youth or high school, maybe college level players. At lower levels and younger ages, I suspect extreme advantages in experience, practice time, and hands-on coaching can absolutely give a less talented kid a leg up. However, I think there’s a ceiling for how far a ho-hum kid can go on the back of force-fed baseball obsession — and I’m pretty sure that ceiling is a lot lower than “excellent hitter at AAA at age 20.“ I think you have to have the goods to reach that level, no matter how much baseball your daddy exposed you to as a kid. Ceiling-wise, as I’ve said, I do think he’s probably lower than some of these absolute tool demons like Gunnar and Witt and Acuna. I would not trade Gunnar for him, for example. But lots of these guys I’ve compared him to as 2Bs (Cano, Utley, Altuve, Pedroia, Kinsler) were not super tooled-up guys, and they’re all among the 25-50 most valuable players of the last 25 years or so. I don’t know that you have to be a Greek god to be a perennial All-Star type player, at least at that particular position.

      Why do you want to elevate the opposing pitcher's pitch count?

      I really hope that doesn't happen. Hyde said that the 6-man rotation was not going to be a permanent thing, nor should it with our schedule and our bullpen situation. The pen needs a long man. Suarez is a maybe to complete five innings. Suarez should be in the pen, not starting at Yankee Stadium.

      If a team is not getting walks, they aren't elevating the opponent pitcher's pitch count. They are also having quicker innings and taxing their own pitchers.
