Big James is on a heater.

It makes the walkup music obnoxiously loud.

Can Jorge hit a flyball? I think he can!

Get a base hit Colton!

The A's moved the runner.

You being the broken clock!

Guess the kid at 3B isn't Brooksie after all.

Gotta get it in the air out there like RF in OPACY.

Highly doubt it.

I'm sure some sort of expected stat like xERA, etc.

I'm pretty sure the only faster bat on the team is Henderson. Mounty's swing is faster than Cowsers.

Someone posted it on the OH earlier today lol.

Doesn't take much for people to pile on him, but they'll tolerate a .500 OPS and 31% K rate from Cowser for months.

Hey if they get a lead late, we get to see The Reaper.

Of course, someone had to post that Suarez leads all of MLB in HRs yielded, and right on cue!

He's in the 93rd percentile in bat speed. I think that's pretty good.

Even when the Orioles were losing 100 games they beat good teams. Baseball is a funny game.

MLB.TV sound seems in sync on the MASN broadcast.

Brennan Miller is already showing what type of crap zone this is going to be tonight.

Where do you see that a player is more likely to get injured a second time, can you cite the study for that, please? I honestly don't know where to look. We tend to overvalue our prospects to absurdity here. If Elias had a single taker for Norby or Stowers as a headliner, they'd have been gone already. They are both defensive liabilities and neither have near the upside with the bat as Kjerstad does. I like Cowser fine, but nothing about a guy with that much swing-and-miss in his game and occasional pop with good defense screams star player to me. I know the pretty red statcast lines are nice to look at, but expected stats do not win games, nor are they predictive of future success.

Sure, but he's just coming back from the injury. For perspective, he alone has been just about as valuable as both Burnes and Rodriguez combined to this point of the season.

They wanted Cowser, he's at 1.3 bWAR.

Wait, you don't see Crochet as someone who moves the needle even next year? That's pretty mind-boggling. He's been worth about 4 wins already this year in half a season, Cowser 1.3 (I'm using bWAR as I see that's what you are using for your comps for Ortiz).

McCann is on a heater!

Diamondbacks are 2.5 out of a WC. I think it's going to be a long time before they decide if they are buying or selling, themselves.
