Hard not to be pumped for a game like this!    Two excellent teams that have gone toe to toe and split the first two games, two potential Cy Young Award winners on the mound, a sellout crowd, a beauti

I guess the feeling of doom every time they other other (really good major league team) does something well  just rubs me the wrong way. I was watching the game yesterday but wasn't in the game t

It's not hard to see someone outbid the Orioles on Burnes. But if I was him, I would have to think about whether taking 200 mil instead of 150 mil is worth it when you are feeling right at home in Camden Yards and you have a chance to compete for a WS every year for the next five years.

I think the players association would push back on a 50M loss for a player. I also think that Burnes wants as much money as possible and wouldn't take a 50M cut for any team.

It wouldn't be worth 50 million to me.

50, well it's a lot of millions.

My guess is whatever team signs him is going to have a chance to compete for a WS.

Ha has said he has dreamed about free agency and is going to test the market.  He can choose from a lot of really good teams to go to.

10 straight quality starts for Burnes.   Two short of Palmer's team record.   Guess he could tie it the first game of the Rangers series  on the 28th.   (98 Rock night, Joan Jett at the splash station!).

I've yet to see a MLB player take the equivalent of a mid level exemption to chase a ring.

Anybody still afraid of the big bad Phills?? 

Anybody still think that they are on another tier/level? 👀👀 

 

It's a 3-game series. It was very close for 20+ innings.

      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.
