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.

Finished the night at .317/.456/.561 after getting on base all four times.  And remember,  it took him 6 games to get going at the start of the year.   Since then, he’s hitting .374/.504/.677.   

By the way, he’s hitting .304/.467/.604 vs. LHP, despite striking out 10 times in 28 PA against them.

Video game numbers..and he probably comes here as the best COer we have defensively too.

I said in the offseason that he should be here around mid May…and he should be.

The ML roster isn’t too crowded for him. Guys just need to play less.

I think it was pretty clear from Elias’ most recent interview that he’s in no rush to call up Cowser.  And you can sort of see why, with the team winning and Hays, Mullins, Santander and even McKenna all hitting well.  I do think there’s a chance Cowser, after an adjustment period, would outplay any and all of those guys.  But I understand why Elias would be reluctant to mess with what’s working.  Could they give Cowser the Stowers spot and try some timeshare?   Hypothetically yes, but it might irritate players who have been important to the team’s success and who are playing well.  

All I know is, I’d rather have this problem than have to wonder who we can pull out of A ball to replace Luis Matos.

I would say I don’t know if Elias will be able to keep him down till the Super two date, but…. We all know he can. 🥲

See ya in mid June Cowser. Lift off 🚀

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I honestly think there is very little difference in most the teams that made the playoffs.  The most wins was 98 wins and there was 12 teams with 86 wins or more.  It also seems that many of the teams are on the same page with scouting and analytics now hitting wise.  Years back you had moneyball which the A’s used before anyone else.  Then the Astros and few teams started with analytics and seemed to be ahead of the rest of the league but they have caught up now imo.  Now the move seems to be on launch angle and hitting homers by getting the ball in the air but that seems to be across the league.  Obviously some teams have more money and more talented players but the strategy seems about the same.  The main differences I see is in pitching in the playoffs which is bullpen games and using openers rather then a starter to go 7 innings and carry your team to win now a slight sign of trouble they are taking them out.  With all these short inning guys and pitching them in certain pockets we are seeing very little offense and the hitting with runners in scoring position has been awful.  It all comes down to RISP at bats and getting 1 or 2 big base hits in those situations.  We just haven’t been able to get those hits so far in short series.

      And we've seen similar with Kjerstad. Kjerstad might be the best pure hitting prospect in the Orioles system of recent years besides Gunnar. I want to see him playing everyday next year is possible none of this sitting him versus LHP more often than not. These prospects need to get their reps and stop treating them like John Lowenstein and Benny Ayala.

      Offseason Trade Pondering

      By bpilktree67 · Posted

      I don’t see Elias trading off prospects anymore at least top guys.  We have moved a few guys in last year and I expect they try to build that back up.  They should have money to use if they want to add talent.

      Blah, well Rob Manfred has to be happy along with Fox network. A Yankees-Mets World Series match up is still on the table and the Dodgers as well if they win tomorrow. I knew the Royals would get jettisoned by the Yankees without too much of a fight.

      For Mountcastle …Maybe Chase Petty and Tristan Smith?

      I’m guessing they ask for Mayo or Basallo of Kjerstad. For me …I’d give them Kjerstad since he’s defensively challenged IMO. Maybe Kjerstad, McDermott, Beavers, and O’Ferrall?

      192 wins in two seasons is a pretty strong argument to stay the course.  That said, I wonder if the young players wouldn't be better off long-term if the scientific matchups took a back seat to the raw talent a little more than we've seen.  Overthinking something can be a thing you know.
