There was a poster who said Cowser will become another Ryan McKenna at the major league level. Here was my response in that thread. I'd be shocked if Cowser turns into a McKenna at the major leag

That HR just earned him another month in the minors from Elias.

Too bad both he and Stowers would be competing for the same OF spot. We have excess, but can't find a trade partner for frontline pitching.

We don't know if Elias is even looking.

My guess is no one is doing much talking in early May.

In the offseason, my thought was that Cowser, Mullins and Stowers were the starting OF by June at the latest.  

Santander as the primary DH who basically never touches a glove.

Hays is the 4th OFer that gets plenty of playing time.

Can we still do that?  Should we be doing that?

If we switch Hays and Stowers in your arrangement, I’m with it. 

I’m cool with moving Hays to RF, he definitely has the arm for it. But I don’t think he should be benched, not the way he has been swinging the stick this year. I don’t see Stowers producing at the level that Hays is giving us right now. Nor do I think Stowers in a better defensive outfielder than Hays. But sure Stowers as the 4th outfielder, with Cowser in LF, Mullins in CF, and Hays in RF works for me!

I mean that’s fine..while Hays is hot, he can play a little more but he would still play several games a week but Hays is too brittle to play everyday. He just gets hurt a lot. Resting him early may help him over the long haul.

Once he gets hurt like he inevitably will, the Stowers plays in his place. No harm no foul. As long as McKenna is kept off the field, I’m good. 😉

McKenna is fine as a 5th OFer. But he may be the odd man out right now until some thinning of the roster occurs.

As the 5th outfielder will he never play or as little as possible?

If so, I’m good with that…lol

J/k he’s ok if used sparingly.

2-3 with a walk tonight, BA now at .324. I don't know where to find these kinds of splits, but given his slow start I have to think Cowser has been hitting around .400 over his last twenty games. 

He’s had 7 multi hit games since 4/11.  A couple 3 hit nights and a 4 hit night.  
30 for his last 64 in that span.  .468 avg.

.438 in the last 10!

      I'm not disregarding his past performance, but in general recent performance is more relevant if it's a decent sample size.  140 PAs is a pretty high number.  It's been pretty clear for awhile now that what he was once good at he's not good at right now.  I'd rather see Kjerstad bat against lefties than Slater at this point.

      Os vs NL

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      Today was, thankfully, the last games vs the NL this year…barring a WS run of course. The Os finish 19-26 (that’s a sub 70 win% seasons) vs the NL and were outscored by 42 runs.     That means vs the AL he has outscored them by about 115 runs and are 24 games over 500.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      It’s the quietest 879 in the history of baseball.

      Hyde Hot Seat

      By EddeeEddee · Posted

      I disagree Mayo is one of the reasons the Orioles have not hit well.  Emmanuel Rivera, who has hit well with an .879 OPS since he joined the O's, has gotten the playing time over Mayo.

      I was sort taking that as a fait accompli. Signing expensive long-term free agent deals for one dimensional sluggers heading into their 30s definitely does not seem like Elias's style, especially when an extra high draft pick (and accompanying extra bonus pool money) is the reward for not doing so.

      The Defense Thread, 2024

      By Frobby · Posted

      Game 153, Sept. 19 Lots of notable defensive plays today.   Kjerstad made two excellent catches, one going back and towards the RCF alley that (per Kevin Brown) was a 50% probability catch, and another going back to the wall near the corner and making the catch at close to full speed.   Holliday snared a line drive at the top of his leap, and also made a nice backhand running catch of a soft fly into medium RF. Mullins made a diving catch in the 7th on a sinking liner that he got a great jump on.   In the 9th, with runners on 1st and 2nd, Heliot hit a liner in the RCF gap that carried much further than it first appeared it would.   Mullins and Slater dove for it simultaneously and Slater actually gloved it for a second before it popped out while Slater landed on Mullins.  Luckily, the two base runners totally misread the play, and after Slater quickly scrambled to his feet and threw the ball in, the runner originally on 2B scored but the runner on 1st only advanced to 2B, and the batter had to stop at first.  The O’s were able to keep any further runs from scoring. One thing I’ve noticed about Manny Rivera is that he’s very slow charging bunts and slow rollers/choppers. He handled one bunt and one chopper in front of him today and both times the runner beat his throw rather easily, something that has happened a lot when Rivera has manned 3B.   I’m more than ready to have Urias -and/or Westburg back at the hot corner.

      Don’t know what happened to him on here but I did meet him and some others from The Sun forums at the park on Matt Wieters first game as an Oriole. If I recall correctly his name was Patrick.  He seemed like a good dude but he did have his face painted and was wearing those big hulk hands…which did strike me as a little odd for a grown man but to each his own.
