ABERDEEN IRONBIRDS (35-33) WON 5-2 OVER WINSTON-SALEM – A (HIGH)

  • Frederick Bencosme went 3 for 3 with 1 run scored, 2 RBI and a walk.
  • Jackson Holliday went 1 for 3 with a double, 2 runs scored and a walk.
  • RP: Dan Hammer walked 1 and struck out 5 over 2.0 scoreless and hitless innings of relief.  He earned the save.

re: Dan Hammer

Please, Gods of Baseball, bestow upon Dan that which is necessary to be a reliever nicknamed "The Hammer", who is feared and whose name rings out.

Why were there no games for Norfolk, Bowie and Delmarva yesterday?  Mid-season break?

BTW, don’t we consider the FCL and DSL teams to be part of the farm?

It was a scheduled day off before the start of the season's second half.

Yes the FCL and DSL are a part of the farm but looking back on my summaries from 2022, I didn't include those leagues in the summaries.  @Frobbyyou are the first to ask that question.  If readers want that info as well, I can see what I can do to incorporate it but obviously it takes more time and there has to be a demand for it.

I think you do plenty already, Chuck!   There are threads covering those teams and I didn’t mean to suggest you should include reports on those teams in your daily reports.  I’m just pointing out that we did have other farm teams playing yesterday.

They are playing an extra game next Monday because of the 4th of July weekend.

He's going to need a wicked curveball, if he doesn't already have one.

    • I have a feeling we’ll see a lot of the starters pulled mid-game.  
    • 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.   
    • Yea I didn’t get this either. 
    • Why pitch Suarez today instead of yesterday?   That makes no sense to me.  
    • 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.
    • 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.
