8 game hitting streak.

16-34 6 walks 6 strikeouts 

If Stowers can't push Vavra out of his starts in COF, then maybe Cowser can.  Ideally you'd want Cowser playing everyday vs RHP.  These are good problems to have.  The thing with breaking Westburg and Cowser into MLB roles, is that we'd only be asking them hit 9th, and play defensive positions they can handle.  It's a good place to be.

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.

Well it looks like he’s heating up. I know some people want Stowers at the big league level, but I believe when you toss in defense Cowser could help the Orioles more. 
 

Anybody have a guess at when we could get Cowser up to replace Varva in the lineup?

I've always thought Cowser had a much better chance to help the Orioles than Stowers. I'd let him stay there until June. He should start in left and play just about every day if he does move up.

He’s not on the 40 man so gonna be tough to jump guys in front.  I also think he’s the long term LF.

Pretty much everyone works hard.

Pure talent is pure talent.

Talent wins out more often than not.

No doubt.  That’s what’s crazy - the talent > 1 year experience.  That excites me and didn’t see it coming.  Hard work only helps you reach your own ceiling.  Talent will always trump. 
 

Just pointing out that through lense of org. Ortiz &. Cowser have priority over Wburg & Stowers.  I was very high on both guys going into year and looks like they got leap frogged.

Unless we're milking it for Super Two, the time for the Zach Netos and Brett Batys is here.

Obviously he needs to maintain the hot run, but I think maybe he can smell it.

Cowser's arrival to a full-time role where Vavra/McKenna currently occupies a part-time one would shrink the fractions for the Hays-Santander-Urias-Frazier batch, but I do believe this year Cowser has it in him to become a stronger option than one of Frazier/Urias, who for now enjoy 2B + DH runway.

Super-polished NCAA bats ought to beat the 40-man requirement timeline though - I don't feel that is an obstacle whenever Elias is ready to roll out another blue chip.

I agree he should, but will he.  I’m still a believer that they are milking theses guys to make their asset valuation rise vs. best option for win now.  Would like to be wrong.

3-3 w a double a 2 homers and a lot of game left.

And he was due up with the bases loaded and one out when rain stopped the game.   The game’s official so he missed the chance to do even more damage.   According to the game thread, he also had a spectacular diving catch in the OF.

      Fangraphs Updated Top 45 Prospect List

      By Frobby · Posted

      No resting on our laurels: Tampa: “Once again one of the very best systems in baseball, the Rays have a high-end combination of big time impact talent at the very top of their org to go with overall depth.”  (1 60, 3 55, 49 at 35+) Boston: “This is perhaps the deepest system in all of baseball, and one of the best.” (1 55, 4 50, 47 at 35+) New York: “This system is healthy (that’s a formidable group of 50s up top) and exciting.” (1 55, 5 50, 36 at 35+) The O’s still have the upper hand, with 1 70, 1 60, 2 55 and 1 50, 45 at 35+.   Two of our top guys listed have graduated or will graduate this season.

      Coby Mayo 2024

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      I respect your opinion, but there is no other reason to have Urias over Mayo right now.  I guess we could get creative and keep Urias till September by option Cowser to get Mayo up here. Or we could go with a short bullpen and rotate fresh arms in the 7th pen spot.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      Luis Gonzalez is on a MiL deal but I think he has a good shot to be added to the 40 man rather than going back to minor league free agency. His AAA numbers are very good and he could be the replacement Vespi up/down lefty. He’ll have all 3 options. Only impediment may be that Krook will still have an option next year and McHough could be added instead, and maybe they’ll want to keep one or both of them and feel that makes Gonzalez redundant.  But Gonzalez has definitely out pitched both.

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      At this time last year, Holliday was still in Aberdeen on his way to a .940 OPS.   He didn’t get promoted to Bowie until July 14, so your comparison is a bit premature.  🙂   Maybe Basallo’s .894 OPS in June and 1.053 OPS so far in July is a better comp?

      Pls stop with the crusade and ignorance against advanced stats.  During MASN interview earlier this season, Drew French said he pays ZERO attention to ERA and instead prefers FIP.

      Early Thoughts on the 2023 Draft Class - Hitters

      By CaptainRedbeard · Posted

      I was very excited by Cunningham given the tools but he’s looking like a non-prospect, he is the biggest disappointment for me. EBJ may not shoot through the minors like our recent high college hitter picks but it hasn’t been all bad. Exactly 100 wRC+ as a 22 year old speed/defense CF in A+ ball. It’s more of the same from his short debut last year with good K/BB rates, and the power hasn’t been terrible relative to expectations, hovering around .100 ISO all year. He just has a much lower BABIP than you would expect for a super fast guy in the low minors, and that’s not a great sign for his line drive contact quality but not a big red flag quite yet. Especially with Cowser showing so well defensively there is no reason to rush EBJ. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in a trade since he likely still has good trade value and is definitely one of the highest profile position players in the second tier of the system where they’re most likely to deal from.

      Connor Norby 2024

      By RZNJ · Posted

      He has in the last month but didn’t he have a long streak of no errors?   He’s not an elite fielder but, in the long run, I think he’s solid at 2B or 3B, although the eye test says he looks a little better at 3B.
