To me this is an overreaction.  It’s a long season.  If Stowers ends up with, say, 200 PA, I’ll agree he’s being underutilized.  But I have a feeling that when it’s all said and done he’ll be at 350+,

In other exciting Oriole tantrums.   The Orioles cut Gunnar Henderson today who hasn’t had a hit the entire season.  He had clearly wilted under the pressure of being a rookie of the year ca

That's literally the first time that has happened in the big leagues. Literally, Just because you foresaw an error back in April 1st doesn't make you some kind of soothsayer. 

Again.  I have seen him make a handful of bone head plays over the course of 20 games.

I said as much in this thread and you  told me my analysis was garbage.  
 

Was simply sharing what I had observed.

Show me where I said your analysis was garbage? You were taking a victory lap because Stowers is sucking bad right now and I showed where you were praising him and saying you love him.

Then you say it's not the first time a ball went under his glove and I said you're wrong, he's never made an error in the major leagues. 

Just stay on target. Feel free to a "victory" lap because Stowers is sucking right now. There's a lot more baseball to be played and even if he needs to go down, he'll be back at some point and will be successful. He's just in some kind of awful, awful funk right now.

I will continue to root for him and expect that he will play better.  
 

He is in a funk, and he took it into the field.  

You only get a couple hall passes for plays like that.

It was really, really bad. Little league bad. 

I just went back through the game and watched it.

I might not be little league bad, but it's AAA bad.

Look, he's getting what was asked for: A little run.

He ain't doing much with it.

He is not a butcher in the field. Not in any way and if you want to come at me, you better bring better analysis than this BS. 

I showed multiple times last year how his defensive numbers were dragged down by two misplays. I've watched him play defense in the outfield over many games. While he's not smooth, and I would not call him a plus outfielder, he's an average outfielder who is similar to Santander before he got really slow out there last year. 

Now, you can hate on Stowers in your attempt to kiss the Orioles butt in every way, but you will look silly if he's ever actually given everyday PAs by someone. 

The fact that you think he's a bat off the bench tells me everything we need to know about your ability analyze and access baseball talent. You're only saying that because that's how the Orioles have misused him and its actually quite laughable. 

It's particularly laughable that you think Frazier is an everyday player while Stowers is a bat off the bench. lol 

I apologize.  I misquoted you.  You said my analysis was BS.  Not garbage :) 

It’s all good, Tony.  No hard feelings no grudges.  I appreciate you.

And the reason he didn't get the run he should have had after he went down and got hot was Hyde. Playing him sporadically, playing him out of position in LF. It is hard enough for OF to adjust to stadiums with second decks without regular PT and ABs. Hyde is handling Stowers like he expects him to fail so use him whenever. Look, IDK if Stowers is a MLB regular, but I believe Hyde's usage is hurting his development and the org's evaluation of Stowers value as a prospect and trade chip.

He made the classic mistake tonight by not getting completely  in front of the ball and trying to one hand it.  He is hitting under .100  so he has to go.    

Actually, you could see on the replay he brought up his head to check the runner before he had caught it. Just took his eye off it.

Out of position in LF??? Second decks? Plenty of players come up from the Minors and play either corner without any difficulty. Those sound like excuses now that Stowers' performance is not fitting the predetermined narrative.

      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.

      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.
