The wave in a great game. Embarrassing.     Yes, I am becoming grumpy old man.

Voth sitting in dugout thinking I sure could have used just one or two of these runs when I went 6 innings and gave up nothing.

Just now, OsFanSinceThe80s said:

Stowers scared me a little bit tracking down that third out, I wasn't sure If he saw the fly ball. Time to score more runs and get this back to a five run lead. 

I knew it was far from over. Ball is jumping and 5 innings left. That error was awful. 
Brown keeps saying Ryan could have picked it, ball was way off line inside the bag.

      Hypothetical trade for Yates

      By waroriole · Posted

      I can’t see them moving anyone from the ML team, except maybe Hays or Urias, in a deadline deal. Maybe move Mountcastle in the off-season.

      Outfield PA the rest of the way

      Frobby in particular is a big Hays fan, so I think he’s very biased.  Hays is hitting better and that’s great but just because he’s hitting better, doesn’t mean you play him more. Part of the reason he’s been successful is lesser playing time imo. Same with Mateo early in the season. He was playing occasionally, which was great for him. Now that he’s everyday, he’s exposed and back to not hitting.  I don’t get the Cowser stuff either.  People talk about the importance of defense but then they want to bench our best defensive player. Cowser also brings a lot of speed and good base running as well. But ultimately the funniest part to me is how reliant this board is on statcast stuff and how many on here quote it but yet choose to ignore it w/r/t Cowser. Now, I agree that actual results would be nice and the SSS of RISP/clutch stats is really pathetic on his part but it’s also a SSS and not sure we should be putting that much weight into it. For me, Cowser would start be every righty and somewhere between 25-50% of all lefties. If we can rid ourselves of little bit of this vet depth we have on the team, Kjerstad would be the same. The problem with Kjerstad right now is that the defense isn’t there (at least as well as Cowser) and while I would like his bat in his lineup more, he’s impacted by the DH/1B guys more than Cowser is.

      Sending Cowser down or going with a 7 man bullpen?

      I say send Cowser down for Mayo. This will give Cowser regular AB’s until you forget out what you are going to do at the deadline. I am in no way down on Cowser but think he could use a small reset.

      Holliday, Mayo or Basallo

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      Would you be willing to further explain what you mean in stating that Skubal or Crochet are not Verlander/Cole/Greinke/Burnes? Are you saying that because they are not veterans Elias/Sig would not be as interested?  Or are you saying that they are not elite pitchers? If so, can you name all of the starting pitchers in MLB that you think are better in 2024? … I can’t imagine that list is too long.

      Two more questions for the locals.  Is the casino walking distance to the stadium and good places to hang out and drink before the game?  We are staying at he Renessaince Inner Harbor which looks walkable.   Thanks!

      You make a lot of legitimate points here.  I’d say these are the reasons I’m not advocating benching Cowser, but I still think his time should be reduced for now until he’s hitting better.  Hays saw his time reduced when he was hitting poorly, and so did Mullins.  Hays hasn’t and won’t be returned to his old status quo, while Mullins is closer to his old status quo.
