Nelson, this isn’t all directed at you. You are a passionate fan, like most here. I just wish you’d state your case, once. And then let it go. But that is not your style. You feel the need to enlighte

Last year Cowser had 45 hits.  10 of those were extra bases.  This year he has 55 hits. 23 for extra bases.  That is a significant development.  June is the Cowser we've been hoping for. 17

Jon Meoli said as much in his Newsletter yesterday, re: Cowser, without quoting the whole thing (as it's paid and all): "Cowser said he was focused on one zone and striking out as a result..."

.308/.483/.631 in 87 PA.   Hard to find fault with that.    Another 3-4 weeks of that and he may find himself in Norfolk.  

Yeah, because of his slow start I think people stopped projecting him in the O's outfield in the near term.

However, he's basically next year's Stowers in terms of level. Should be in Baltimore about a year from now, so for now (e.g., before trades), next year's outfield looks like Mullins, Hays, Santander, Stowers, Cowser with McKenna, Vavra, Diaz and Neustrom as more depth. Kjerstad is on a similar or slightly later (opening day 2024?) timeframe. And we just drafted a few additional outfield guys.

Just brings to light the challenge Elias has right now. We're in a position to "go for it" this year. If I were him, I'd be buying a starting pitcher and I'd be selling outfielders. The only question is who goes, and I hope Cowser isn't one of those guys.

Well, I could argue that we have just as much, if not more depth in the IF.  Urias and Mateo look perfectly fine.  Then you've got Vavra, Westburg, and Henderson in AA.   Norby, Ortiz, Mayo, and Prieto at AA.  Ortiz is breaking out and I wouldn't discount Norby or Prieto from becoming more enticing as prospects as they are now.  Then you've got Hernaiz, Bencosme, and Holliday at lower levels.  And I don't want to totally discount Collin Burns at Aberdeen who's had a very nice first full season.

It is an enviable position to be in.  Still need pitching but we should have the resources to acquire it.

Aberdeen does seem to have slowed Kjerstad, understandably, but you'd hope '23 Kjerstad is at or above Stowers' level.

I have decided to stop paying attention to hitter stats in Aberdeen

Agreed.  Can we out together 4/5 of a rotation from Wells, Kremer, Rodriguez,  Hall, Bradish, Watkins, and Voth?

I could envision a 

1. ?

2. Tyler Wells

3. Grayson Rodriguez 

4. D.L. Hall/Austin Voth combination 

5. Dean Kremer

You still have Means waiting in the wings and maybe Bradish/Watkins in the mix. We have a fairly deep bullpen with all potentially coming back.  So, do we need one starter?  Two?

Stowers' window might get smushed if we hold our guys.    He probably isn't better than Santander or Mancini now, and Cowser is coming up fast.

When you hit .463 for a month, you're likely to hit a dry spell no matter where you are.  I don't think it's much more than that.

Yeah, not concerned at this point.  The K rate is a little higher at Aberdeen (23%) than at Delmarva (17%), but it’s not awful.  I’d be happier if he had a .463 BA rather than .194, but overall I’m happy that he’s healthy and getting a look at pro pitching.  There’s still plenty of time for him to get rolling.

      Statistical oddities

      By Just Regular · Posted

      We are getting a lot of time to savor Jacob deGrom ending last year with precisely half the career innings pitched total of Clayton Kershaw. I dare the baseball gods to keep it in sync not by 0-0.     It isn't out of the range of outcomes deGrom could throw 4 and Kershaw 8 or something like that.

      This is one of the craziest ones in memory. Buehrle giving up 8 runs and 0 ER in 0.2 IP. Toronto Blue Jays vs Tampa Bay Rays Box Score: October 4, 2015 | Baseball-Reference.com

      I think it's why the metrics use RA and not ERA in the WAR calculations, so there is still a WAR penalty.

      The baserunner no doubt should be unearned.  But the batter that scores off a HR?  That's the pitcher's fault.  He could have hit a HR the following inning with the bases empty.  In both cases it's a good swing and/or a bad pitch.  Doing it immediately after a 2-out error shouldn't negate that.   You could maybe argue an edge case where getting out of the inning prior to him being pulled would have meant that he was never in a position to make a bad pitch, but in general I think that a pitcher shouldn't necessarily be absolved of *everything* that transpires after an error.

      2024 Ongoing Lineup Thread

      I found this post interesting and a bit more realistic than the conspiracy theories floating around.

      I don't think it's BS. Westburg called off Mounty on a ball that's caught 99.999% of the time and he flubbed it. Inning should have been over, it's a shame they can't charge the runs to the offending player.

      Suarez, Povich, and Irvin for Atlanta

      By Just Regular · Posted

      I think I am rooting for the Suarez skip.    We may get a clue if the Bradish-Grayson hooks against Philadelphia are quick Friday-Saturday. With the off day, they could kind of angle the Yankee Stadium series as if it was a 4-man rotation and a 9-man bullpen. Kind of the same as Heston Kjerstad was I feel rostered to be the most dangerous pinch hitter in the first Yankees series, I wonder if Cade Povich even if his presence in 6-man rotation is just the 2 turns hangs on as one of the top 13 pitchers to compete in that series. Coming off an off day next Tuesday, if Suarez is the scheduled starter, it might play out as a little bit more of a choreographed bullpen game than you might normally get in mid-June.
