He is truly Markakis.   For the pregame show tonight, Melewski canned some stuff from Delmarva yesterday, including a Cowser interview of two questions.

Mrs. OrioleDog aided with the stopwatch and the "you know" tabulation.   We got 10 in 57 seconds.

If he’s truly Markakis, that works for me.   One of my all-time faves.

He homered in his second at bat. CoC is now demanding potential legal action if he's not immediately recalled to the Orioles 26-man roster.

That will preclude calling him up to the Majors for a while.

Considering Nick has the most bWAR of any player drafted in the first round of his class (Adam Jones included), I think I'd be absolutely happy with the Cowser decision if he ended up the Markakis of his draft class. Now we just have to wait 20 years to find out!

(Disclaimer: I know that bWAR or any other singular stat is not a great way to actually measure the outcome of a draft round in total, but I do think it provides an interesting quick snapshot).

Aside from the "you know" fun, when I say I peg Cowser like Markakis, it doesn't mean I feel his mid-case is attaining Hall of Very Good performance, to me it just means Markakis is representative of the "kind" of good player I think the guy has a shot to become.   They are grape juice, not orange juice or iced tea.   Who knows how watered down he'll end up?

Anyhow, regular plug that if Cowser is our Bregman in terms of quick complement to Rutschman/Rodriguez core, Bregman signed his draft year, played 30 games in Low-A, 35 games in High-A, and opened in AA the following season.   Cowser doesn't have 65 games of runway, but he does have 40-ish.   My hope is a month is enough time for him to show he's just plain way too good for his starting level.

I could imagine him having a chance to barrel his way to the Arizona Fall League.

It wasn't your average single either. A rocket to the RF wall.   Some early excitement to follow the Delmarva games. The night before, Cook had a big game.  Almost all looking good early on.

When I saw "walk off" I thought it automatically meant "homer."

Somehow, I more enjoyed the fact that it was a rocket to where the rightfielder couldn't get it.

Bases were loaded and that’s probably a 3-run double if it needed to be.   I wonder what the EV on that hit was — it was absolutely smoked!

Ya, if I didn't know the context behind that video I'd have thought it was a college game and he was using an aluminum bat.

      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.
