Did Cowser get more than 2 ABs?  I am interested to hear about his slump after the hot start.

He had one more at bat, struck out and the manager benched him in favor of another player.  Gotta send a message, you know.

Probably should have started there anyway.  I get why they did it but he needs to play and he is an advanced college bat, so he can move up.

 

It doesn’t hurt to let him shake off the rust against lower level competition.  But If he’s there longer than one more week after this one, I’ll be surprised.

I have no problems with them getting PAs in the FCL, IF they actually play game there this year. The rainouts have been crazy this year.

August 9 - Cowser 3-4 so far today with 2 doubles.  Currently batting .692 with a 1.868 OPS.

Not to be outdone, Collin Burns is 2-2, now hitting .833 with a 1.857 OPS and showing why he should have been the #1 draft pick instead.

Still not a high enough OPS for Frobby to want him up in Delmarva though! :)

I think it's pretty obvious Cowser has his timing down and Burns as well. They need to get these guys up to Delmarva start tomorrow. No reason to keep them down in the FCL once they hit their stride. Smashing glorified high school pitching in the FCL is not really anything more than a nice start. Mayo needs to head up as well.

    • Soto has been fine since his first couple appearances and appears to be picking up steam. That makes seven. Problem is Cano has been the most reliable and all of a sudden looked terrible twice in a row. Hopefully he can get in one decent appearance in the final series.
    • So It's 13 pitchers for the Wild card round? What position player are you dropping?
    • There have been 2-3 times when it seemed logical to call him up but they don’t.   I’ve never understood this thing they have for Baker.  Hey, Cole Irvin is available again!!
    • While we lost some talented players, I think the consensus was some of the players we lost were actually blocking more talented prospects. The loss of Westburg and Urias should have been mostly offset by Holliday and Mayo. Instead, they were truly abysmal.  Povich had some nice moments but he was disappointing as well.  Maybe our expectations were too high - Elias is not going to hit on every prospect, and even the ones that turn out good may take a while to adjust. Still, I think it is fair to have expected more out of Mayo and Holliday since the organization deemed them ready to promote.  In addition to the prospects, you had Adley hit a wall, going from a 6 WAR pace to replacement level, and Cowser and O'Hearn both struggling.  Certainly injuries hurt us, but we should have been strong enough to overcome them. Maybe not to sustain a 105 win pace but I think it is fair to say we should have been able to beat 95 wins and win the division even with the injuries.  
    • I was wondering what the knee-jerk reaction would be to an ugly game last night, but the truth is that the bullpen is fine, as is the rest of the team. We lack a true lockdown closer, but we have six arms by my count that are very good relievers in Akin, Perez, Coulombe, Webb, Cano, and Domingez. And you can add Suarez to that list next week, and possibly Povich, who should also make the PS roster as a lefty long relief option to mirror Suarez. Anyway, that game could have and would have gone much differently, IMO, if it were a playoff game. Burnes obviously stays in longer and gets at least through the top of the order if not back down to the bottom third to hand it over to the bullpen. Hopefully we'd be able to scratch out some runs, but that's not the bullpen's fault.  This is an extremely good team with a lead. Let's hope we get on the board early and often starting tonight.
    • Boy, Brandon Young who has some decent numbers at Norfolk must be injured or unimpressive to the front office to not even get a look for this bullpen. Bryan Baker is almost a waste of a call up.
