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..."

Really looks like he is going to be forcing his way up by this time next year. I wouldn't be as opposed to trading Santander or Hays as I was a month ago.

Cowser might be the one with the most value at this time.

Looked like he pulled his hands in on that one too.  Nice adjustment.  Phew!   Jordan who?

Glad the O's didn't pick that Jordan kid.  Can't even hit High A pitching.  😝

I'm going to try and hold off awhile on that.  I'm sure he'll pick it up.  Kjerstad is off to a slow start at Aberdeen so it's a double edged sword if I pick on Lawlar. However, currently with a .553 OPS 1 walk and 10 K's and 0 homers at A+.   9 for 44.  I'll give him this.  He hasn't made an error in 4 games.  Now at 23 errors in 52 games at SS for an .878 FCT on the season.

Whats happening right now isnt too far off. We have an OF and two IF prospects in Norfolk with no room to play them.

Well, not exactly. I think there is certainly room to play them if ME chose to bring them up. But they have been at AAA for a relatively short time. I am talking about when they used to be able to stash guys in the minors for however long they wanted.  Sometimes they'd be there for years without breaking into the Majors. The R5 draft was developed specifically to eliminate that.

Best thing about thee home runs are they not cheapies! 

Cowser certainly looks like the guy they thought they were getting when they took him so high. I'll take the uptick in strikeouts for the power.

Since Mayo has been hurt, he's probably jumping him on the power rankings next week and could be closing in on Hall.

It’s kind of amazing to think that on June 2, Cowser was carrying a .750 OPS in HiA (.234 BA) and people were worrying that he could be a bust, or at least a severe overpick at 1-5.  Then he put up an .897 OPS in his final three weeks at Aberdeen and is just blowing the doors off at Bowie (1.169 OPS to date).  He’s at 98  PA in AA right now; Henderson and Westburg each had about 200 PA when they were promoted.  So, I figure Cowser may find his way to Norfolk by the week of August 29, which would get him 100+ PA in AAA before the Tides’ season ends on Sept. 28.

I have little doubt he'll see AAA this year if he keeps this up. Maybe sooner than later. Cowser could be in the OF mix next year with the Orioles.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.

      Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role.

      O's target? Roki Sasaki

      It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.

      Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.

      I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
