Unhappy with 3-3 would be an overstatement. I’d be a little disappointed. I don’t “expect” anything - I’m hoping for better. -
In less than the last 12 months, we have lost FIVE really good to excellent major league pitchers. Doubt we'd be having this conversation if that hadn't happened. It's been obvious for several years, Elias & Co. valued drafting position players and using that asset plus waiver wire to get pitching. Of the five lost, only one was drafted by us. The trade deadline will be a hard time to make up for the loss of those five. Hopefully we can do enough betwween now and August to continue our trajectory. IMO, the next 8 months will tell a lot about Elias & Co. and our new ownership. Re the OP. IMO, there is no fool proof strategy. To many variables with each. It's almost whatever works and gets you there. Elias & Co. have gotten this far with an Angelos' ownership. I'm anxious to see what changes if any occur in the next eight months. Come next February, I'll have a better feel for our direction and how we are going to handle pitching in general going forward. What we enter 2025 with re pitching will be the telling time for me. But sometimes even the best of plans do not work out because of circumstances beyond your control. Such is life and baseball. -
Not as short as I thought. According to this chart, he was here from 1984-1996. I definitely didn’t realize he was here that long. Funny, I barely remember what he was like. I mainly remember him being a good foil for John Lowenstein.

Really nice to see the pitchers progressing with a solid crew from 5-8. -

I think you are underselling the month. Would you be unhappy if they went 3-3 to start this? I’m honestly not expecting more than that. -
If they play well we have a great shot to put a little distance between us and the Yankees. That would be a great story line going into the ASB. -

The discussion in the offseason was, if you trade one, who do you trade. I kept going back and forth on the answer but my ultimate thought process was that Cowser is the better all around player but Kjerstad’s best tool, his power, is better than any single tool Cowser has. I still basically stand by that thought. This is a long winded way of saying Kjerstad’s power is just better than Cowser’s, so he definitely can get away with things that Cowser can’t. You have pointed out a lot of warning track outs for Cowser. I would suspect many of those would be homers off of Kjerstad’s bat.
