Ok, I'm going to try and keep my irritation and frustration under control here. I don't like the bullpen game idea that we did today. Here is what I as a fan want. I'd like to know who issued the order? Was it Elias? Was it Hyde? Was it some mutual organizational decision? And why? Whose idea was this? Who did this?

There are several things I don’t like.  First, I wouldn’t have sent Rodriguez to the minors if I knew this would cause us to throw a bulllen game the next time his start was coming up.  There’s nothin

I really do think it's time to DFA Voth and Perez. If Voth in particular struggles in a game like today's, then why is he on the roster? He's been nothing special in short outings, and if he can't provide any length, I don't see what kind of value he adds. Perez has been terrible all season outside of a brief stretch earlier this month.

Both Voth and Perez allow way too many baserunners to be assets to this bullpen.

Time to part ways with both pitchers that were waiver wire pickups and found money. Get Irvin and Vespi up as soon as their pitching schedules allow.

Is any media member going to have the balls to ask Hyde who came up with brilliant idea and then issued the order? And if Hyde gives a non answer kind of an answer will he/she restate and ask again? 

The GM controls the roster.

I didn’t understand the bullpen game plan and obviously it turned out horribly even if they come back to win. 

Irvin was clearly available, he’s literally pitching right now for Norfolk. 

is there some obscure roster reason they didn’t want to call up Irvin for one of the relievers with options to start this game? If not this is just pure mismanagement.

Irvin was not available because pitchers who are sent down have to stay there for 15 days.

That said, Bruce Zimmerman pitched on 5/26 and he seems like he would've been a fine option for a spot start.

Ah good point— I thought enough time had passed. Did it used to be 10 days?

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

      Probably 2010 when Derek Jeter won the last of his many undeserved Gold Gloves.  I agree that media bias isn’t a big factor in the awards.

      Exactly what does “getting hot” mean? It means that everyone, at the same time, is playing to their best qualities and avoiding bonehead mistakes. the last week we saw that, and the Os had their best week in a while. So maybe the Os are getting hot.

      Other than having to get through the WC round, I think this roster is situated equally or better than last year's to make a run. Yes they won 10 fewer games but when you look at talent going into October, this year's team is just as capable.  Reflecting on this season, I think the two greatest differences from last year are 1) the in-season injuries, 2) not having Bautista. With many of our injured guys back, Eflin filling in for one of the injured SP spots, and Bautista missing last year's postseason anyways, those two things aren't differences in October.  So, I think the "maybe we can go on a run like Texas" emphasis comes from watching the team struggle for two months. Not because they are only good enough if they get get hot. I think on top to bottom talent it is still them and the Yankees as the two best teams in the AL. NYY, Cleveland, and Houston will not be happy if Baltimore shows up on their schedule and will be relieved if KC gets through.

      DRS is part of dWAR, the part that’s unadjusted for difficulty of position, and expressed in runs, not wins.   If I wanted to know how good Cowser was as a LF, I’d never look at dWAR, I’d look at his DRS as a LF (he also played CF).   Honestly, I kind of wish BB-ref wouldn’t even publish dWAR, since it’s misinterpreted so often.  You could calculate the Fsbgraphs equivalent of dWAR, but they don’t publish it, so nobody ever mentions it.   But anyway, I agree that the best approach is to look at all the metrics and not adhere slavishly to any one of them.  And, I agree completely with your sssessment of Cowser.  I love his range, and he gets excellent jumps, but I hope he spends a lot of time this winter working on the accuracy of his throws, which is quite subpar.

      It’s possible but I think he is also your Mateo pinch runner guy. In other words, I think they will save him until the end of the game just in case they need his speed.

      Will he get 1 PA in the ALWC series? To put flesh on the bones, say against Lucas Erceg on for a Save at James McCann's spot in the lineup. He is behind all of O'Hearn, Mountcastle and Kjerstad probably on the depth chart, but if you get Ragans out by the 5th or 6th they could all be used before the endgame.

      The race is close enough that the run environment should be a factor. In the steroid era or bouncy ball 2019, 15 W/3.50 ERA might be a much better performance than a .242 AVG/24 HR/good defense. Which is more impressive in light-hitting 2024? The whole league hit .243 this year, tied with 2022 as the lowest since... 1968.  I'd probably vote for Gil but I kinda feel like Cowser will win it in a close race. And I'm not sure NY bias is a thing in awards voting anymore with the more online media landscape and more stat-educated voters. When's the last time a NY player won an end of season award they didn't deserve?
