This thread is to call out players for whatever reason. Can include obvious heroic performances (the Cedric and Westburg walkoffs) but also random high effort or baseball IQ plays that don't stand out

Here’s a live look in at me on my island that RZNJ banished me to because he thinks he won an argument.

That's the beauty of the gameball thread, it is completely subjective, does not need to make sense, and no wrong answer. Povich was excellent for sure. 

Santander is always a wrong answer, it'll get you put on an island with @Moose Milligan

Well, he nearly got one yesterday. Anthony made it a no doubter today! 

6/15/2024 vs Phillies, 6-2 win to even the series. Santander with 2 HR, BB, sac fly. Nod to Baker for a big hold in the 8th vs Castellanos-Harper-Bohm, but Santander gets the gameball today, sorry Malike!

I'm saying Gray Rod gets the gameball, because w/o him going 7 strong innings, it wouldn't have mattered.  I said in another thread, Gray Rod never steps up in big games.  He stepped up big time in this game.  Could be down 0-2 in this series, depending on Burnes to outduel Zack Wheeler tomorrow, who also has an ERA in the low 2's.

O's take the rubber game on Father's Day, 8-2 over Phillies. Gameball to Cowser for the HR to break the game open, an absolute bomb to straightaway center. Reached base all four times and stole a base after the HBP. Good game for ROY resume.

6/19/2024 Game 2 vs the Yanks, O's win it 7-6 in extras. Ramon had a big bomb early but he's still in the doghouse from getting picked off yesterday. Adley got us a huge out gunning down the pinch runner in the 10th, but game ball goes to Cedric for the huge base hit and then scoring himself on the basepaths, producing both our runs in the 10th. Clutch performance by Cedric and really good to see his bat coming around.

6/26 4-2 over CLE. Mullins had the tie breaking HR, Gunnar had three hits (plus a hard out), Grayson pitched 7 strong, Perez and Kimbrel both got big outs. Hard to choose from this game... When in doubt, Gunnar.

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

      End of season melancholy

      By Frobby · Posted

      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.
