    • Cowser got a steady diet of breaking balls just under the zone last night, he was pitched to pretty well. He’s got a great eye for pitches off the plate and seems like he can cover the top of the zone well enough (although he has some whiff there too), but he looked pretty helpless on the low breaking pitches over the plate. Cowser and Westburg have very similar Statcast pages in that it’s a lot of red, they are clobbering the ball, but then have quite poor whiff rates. It’s a great development for both of them that they’re tapping into power that neither displayed at the MLB level last year, but there’s there’s going to still be some ups and downs with both of them of adjustments and counter adjustments to their scouting reports and opposing pitchers’ gameplans. I expect that both are going to settle in as above average hitters that capitalize on hitting mistakes, but have some clear holes in their game that can be consistently exploited when the pitcher executes.  
    • Funny how it works out when Guys like Elias and his front office Know more than us( you're pick Givens ,not so much) Frazier yes , Ohearn in Spades
    • Elias is so good at scouting every position except second base.
    • This one didn't age well. In hindsight, Hosmer wouldn't have been referrable just based on age.     A lot of us missed on O'Hearn.  Glad he's here, glad he's mashing, glad he's making it hard for prospects to come up.  He's an important part of this team.  
    • Mountcastle hits the ball CF a lot, resulting in less HRs than his batted balls would suggest. I think someone posted a good analysis at some point suggesting that even though the wall also hurt Mountcastle, he'd be well served to pull the ball more.
