I was at Aberdeen last night.  Disappeared Jackson didn’t start on a Friday evening.  

Offense was quiet until the 9th when we started pinch hitting.

Long looked solid.  Low 90’s and around the zone.  I don’t recall any loud contact.  But Dan Hammer passed my eye test with better grades last night.

Creed has a good arm.  Nailed de los Santos (70 SBs last year) at 2B.

Best play was a single to CF where 2B Wagner relayed a throw from Fabian to get a guy at the plate.

Jackson pinch hit and hit a laser to the pitch.  Fielded cleanly but three wide of 2B.  Then Beavers knocked a line drive to the OF to walk it off.

On a personal note:  Jackson didn’t spend as much time signing autographs as Adley did last year.  I don’t think Fabian or Beavers signed any.  

But Creed was the man!  He signed before and after games.  Last man on the field and interacted with the kids.

Jackson is in his first ever 20 games slump of his life, so that could have something to do with his signings. Not surprising about Creed. He seems like that kind of kid.

      I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.

      End of season melancholy

      I usually post the lyrics of Paul Simon’s Night Game on the last day of the season, but it doesn’t really fit for a team going to the playoffs.   So I’ll wait, and hopefully never have occasion to post it.

      Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.

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

      By Frobby · Posted

      Please don’t compare OAA and dWAR.  OAA and dWAR are not comparable stats.  First of all, OAA is measured in outs, while dWAR is measured in wins.   That’s a very different scale.   Second, OAA is not adjusting for difficulty of position, while dWAR contains a significant adjustment for position.   Third, OAA measures range but doesn’t measure the throwing aspect of being an outfielder.   If you want to compare apples to apples (and I assume you do), Statcast has a statistic called Fielding Runs Value that converts OAA plus the throwing aspect into runs.   Cowser has a +10 FRV, which as the names implies, is measured in runs.  FRV feeds directly into the fWAR calculation, along with a factor that adjusts for difficulty of position, which for Cowser is measured at -4.1 runs.   Meanwhile, rWAR uses Defensive Runs Saved (DRS), which is directly comparable to FRV.  Cowser has a +3 DRS, not as good as his +10 FRV.   Those are the comparable stats, and the 7 run difference converts to about 0.7 WAR. That’s the main difference between Cowser’s 4.1 fWAR and 3.2 rWAR. I see that after Gil’s poor performance yesterday, Cowser now leads him in both rWAR (3.2 to 3.1) and fWAR (4.1 to 2.2).   So, I like Cowser’s chances.

      I'm the opposite.  I don't want him sitting too much and getting into his own head.

      2024 Dodgers

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Our key players aren't ready to uphold their part of the deal yet, but the Peak Orioles Teams sometime this decade against these Dodgers before they get too old would be an amazing matchup.      I've only gotten to watch most of a Dodgers game the past week or so, and one of the impressions even though they are HOF and still near the very best is that Freddie and Mookie are fraying some as time continues its unbeaten streak. I think we're the likeliest club of any of the 29 others to be able to out-talent the Dodgers anytime soon.
