2004: RF 4.46 (8th/11), ZR .847 (6th/11)

2005: RF 4.76 (2nd/10), ZR .830 (5th/10)

2006: RF 4.14 (9th/9), ZR .810 (7th/9)

2007: RF 4.02 (11th/11), ZR .765 (11th/11)

I think he's at the point where he is hurting the Yankees pretty badly with his defense. Will they really continue to stick him out there at SS every day for the next three years?

I think it should be between Uribe and Cabrera for the GG this year.

He should, if only for the comedic value attached to the phenomenon that is the awards for best defense going to the worst defensive players. Or to players who play 28 games on the field.

Is there a more stupid class of people on this Earth than sportswriters?

AS much as I normally disagree with the Jeter hatred, I absolutely agree that he doesn't deserve a gold glove. Cabrera in LA should get it.

That being said, please please please don't turn it into a "Derek Jeter sucks" fest if he happens to get it. Much like the "Yankees Suck" chants, as much as we'd like it to be true, it just isn't.

I don't think he has his token one good play of the year. No diving into the stands, no throwing Giambi out at home, no crashing into the CFer who should have made the catch, etc. But maybe the attention he got for his bimbos not wanting to pay for parking will give him the edge this year.

What do sportswriters have to do with anything? Gold Gloves are voted on by coaches and players.

Yes, coaches and players.

(deal with THAT paradox)

ROFL.

So, on the stupidity scale from most to least stupid:

Uninformed Posters > Fans > Sportswriters > Coaches and Players > Uninformed Posters

How did this game ever get to where it is now with this vicious cycle of stupidity? :confused:

      Yeah, basically this, that Westburg's underlying numbers (EV, barrel %, xwOBA) seem to point at this being pretty real, or at least that there's nothing 'undeserved / lucky' about this hot streak, if it's just that.

      The problem with a Cowser/Kjerstad/Stowers/Bradfield outfield roster is there are no right handers to handle LHP. I don't think and completely left handed outfield is the destination for an organization the values versatility.

      Looks maybe concussion related.

      How can you not be romantic about baseball? This seems slightly poetic. I enjoyed reading, and correlated your experience in the stands back to what I watch in Game 1 on MASN.  It was also pretty cool to hear Jim Palmer give you a shout out in Game 2 of the series on Live TV.

      Gunnar Henderson 2024

      By baltfan · Posted

      I am not worried.  It just doesn’t remotely meet the eye test.  He has been great in the field . I can think of at least 3 outstanding plays he has made and not any that I thought he should have gotten but didn’t. Meanwhile Holliday is 3 OAA and I can’t think of an outstanding play and can think of a number I thought he should have made.

      Nicely stated Roy. Every since I was 9 years old and saw the O's vs. the Tokyo Giants in Tokyo in 1971, I've been infected with the Orange/Black virus. There is no cure and I don't want one. You and I sat at the lunch table with Jim Palmer at the 1970 World Series Champs reunion, and its still one of my enduring baseball memories. You said I looked like Carlton Fisk! I was at all 3 games in this Angels series, right behind the O's dugout. I got to see all our boys, and just simply love to watch this team play. And in true baseball fashion, the one game on paper we should have dominated (GRod vs. 8+ ERA Channing), we end up down 7-0 and lose. But watching Gunnar's homers, his electric triple, and he made a fantastic play today on a ball that went under Westburg's glove, Adley do Adley things, Cowser, holy crap. Kimbrel v. Trout with bases loaded, bottom of 9th, 2 outs, down by 2? That was fun. Next game Trout bats leadoff and torches a GRod fastball for a homer to the opposite field.  An observation.... If you didn't know anything about the team, and you only watched game 1 batting practice, you'd think Cowser and O'Hearn were the studs of the team. Mountcastle was taking BP with the reserves and he put on a show as well.  Home after 3 straight days watching this O's team, so jealous of the Balt fans in Balt that get to see the team with regularity. It's a special bunch.
