The milkman delivers again!

5 innings of no hit ball today.

Come on blue!

Hays’ defense is way overrated.

Get Hays off this team!

Can anyone hit but the milkman????

Still have to love the way the milkman is hitting.

Does anyone have any reports on Mordan? He’s only 19 and hit very well last year in the FCL…..off to a blazing start again this year.

I have to assume the plan at the end of spring training was to keep Holliday down longer, but after Urias and Kemp were not hitting, they felt the need was greater then they had anticipated. I think they saw something in spring training that they liked in Kemp-kemp had a great spring; but whatever it was did not carry over and they pivoted to try to win ROY and give the team a boost.

Would hate to lose kemp this early in the season. A veteran clubhouse presence can’t be overstated for this team.

Urias has had his wRC+ decrease every year of his career and he will be 30 in June. He also looks slower this year. I’m sure his hitting will improve but the Batx projects a wRC+ of 88 and Bat projects a wRC+ of 84. So while he will hit better, it looks like his career is on the downward trajectory.

Don’t worry, Hays will play tomorrow. If Cowser plays, it will be to give a different “starter” rest.

His playing time has been sporadic at best this year. He hasn’t played a full 9 innings yet. Would love to see him get more opportunities.

It also shows you that other teams aren’t letting hitters reach that many plate appearances for players starting out so ice cold.

Hopefully Hays can pinch hit for Cowser soon. I’d hate to see Cowser play a full 9 innings for the first time this year.

Through 9 games….about as cold as can be: 81.4 Average EV 2.9 Launch Angle 15.8% hard hit rate He has no where to go but up….but starting this cool, he should get some days off. There is no reason he should be playing everyday.

I just don’t understand why Hays plays everyday. He has started ice cold and only didn’t start on Friday because he was sick and still had 2 at bats in the game. Rest the guy half of the time until he starts hitting!!

Does anyone know why Baumann was brought in before Danny?

Hays worked the count there. Love to see that.

Can’t find any fault in Falter today.

Reverse splits are only a factor when it is a reason to sit Cowser.

Lord is listed on the 7 Day IL for Delmarva.

Keagan Gillies too….would like to see him in Norfolk soon. Think he could help our bullpen later in the year.

Love that we could get Hays in this game.

Cowser needs to get a hit every time…..the .500 batting average won’t cut it. Needs a good at bat no matter the pitcher and the situation.
