He definitely needs a day off.

To be fair, they could have rolled a volleyball down the 3B line and it would have still been safe on that throw.

He could also stall out and never make it out of AAA.

Technically, he looked better than his first start in the 2023 season.

Most of his ABs have been bad too, not competitive. He'll either adjust or he won't I suppose.

Indeed, it's okay to laugh at yourselves sometimes.

My buddy texted me Cowser was trending with a clown emoji and sent me these links lol. You sort of have to chuckle.

If Cowser keeps it up, his name won't be in the lineup much anyway and it will be back to Hays most likely. Since April 15th he's 8-47 with 1 XBH and 24Ks to 6BB. People complaining about Cedric should chill out. I was hoping for a .780 range OPS and now that's looking like I might have gone too high.

Last 6 games Gunner is 4-23 with 9K's and 1 BB

But it was 99MPH, great arm!

Throw 3 LHP, Elly has a .756 OPS as a RHB.

Those 3 Reds starters are good. I hope to see Elly throw 107 MPH to first base when Santander is halfway down the line and airmail it like he did the other day.

Like I said. He's got a strong arm, and a bad arm, both of those things can be true.

If I'm Grisham and Jones is PH for me, I'd consider a new profession.

His arm is strong and his arm is bad. Both things can be true.

His arm is just bad, which sucks for such a large LF. He's not hitting anything right now, which is more concerning. He looks less confident and more like the '23 Cowser.

Umm.

They are going to have to figure out a plan B for Cowser. He's been awful this game, and I know he's not at the plate right now, but he's a hot mess on both sides of the ball.

He was good in 2022, he was hurt last year, I believe for some time?

Ah okay, they have to baby his big toe.

I thought he was only starting because Verdugo was on paternity leave. Is Grisham starting today? I don't know their lineup for today.

Cedric Mullins, probably.

You have to factor in the adjustment period. Is Jackson Holliday a better player than Mateo? Hopefully, that would be the appropriate answer in my estimation. Is he the better player right now? He didn't appear to be. I have little doubt the same would hold true with Mayo, Norby, and whomever. You can't simply drop McCann as if he's taking a roster spot from Basallo.

2-5 with his 10th homer tonight. 1.067 OPS.

Bradish threw 77 last time out, he's probably good for 90 if he's effective. Also, Rodon can be touched up.
