Cowser and Westburg don’t have any barrels because they’re not hitting balls hard at the right launch angle, not because they are not hitting them hard. Cowser has a 38.7% hard hit %, slightly below t

Westburg has an almost .800 OPS.  What did you expect, 5 HR and 15 RBI his 1st week?  Westburg's defense has looked a lot better than Frazier's.

It’s not true.  He hit right away at Delmarva.   Not a terrible start at Aberdeen.   Got off to a very hot start at Bowie.   The only thing similar to now is the beginning of this season at Norfolk.   The rest is a false narrative.

Appreciate you setting the narrative straight, I have been rolling with the rough start to every level one.  Any thoughts on how long of a leash he has with Mullins and Hicks due back in a couple weeks?

You just answered your own question.

I don’t think he has a long leash.  He’d better start hitting before either of those two are healthy, or he’ll be the first one off the island.

Yeah I don't buy that McKenna is guaranteed to go down before Cowser. Especially with Mullins as a lefty and you lose less defense if McKenna has to come into the game. I'd put it at 50/50 right now. 

Also - he won't play today with a lefty on the mound. And will he really play Thursday against Gausman, one of the best pitchers in the league? Debatable IMO.

Having watched Cowser defensively for a couple of weeks, he’s nowhere near as good as McKenna.  So, he has to be the better hitter to stick once Mullins returns.  Long run he should be the better hitter, but maybe not right now.  I don’t think Hyde will be playing things for the long run the next two months.  He’s in win now mode.

Boy did Cowser need that 2B today. He took 4 balls, but the ump called 2 of the close ones strikes. 2-2 count when he should be on first with a BB, fouled off a tough pitch and then smoked a ball 106 MPH, in the air pulled to right center. 

That’s the Cowser I expected. More of that please!

106 huh?  I didn’t see the EV.  Love seeing that.

He doesn't hit the ball with any authority.

Needs more seasoning at AAA

Not until today.  He had 10 doubles and 10 homers at Norfolk so pretty sure he’s capable of hitting with authority.   He might have to go back down but I don’t think he needs more seasoning.  He needs to find the balance between relaxed and patient and aggressive and hard nosed.

10 doubles is not very encouraging tbh.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By clapdiddy · Posted

      Love Cole Irvin as the guy who can move around a pitching staff and I'd be fine with him as the 4th/5th starter.   If you can get a guy and bump him into the spot starter/long man role, he will benefit this team more.

      The #RisingTide doesn't stop when it starts inundating higher value MLB careers. It is an important decision for the Orioles to get right how many from 0-4 out of Heston Kjerstad, Coby Mayo, Jackson Holliday and Samuel Basallo ought to appear in an October 2024 lineup.     This is likely the singular season Corbin Burnes and Samuel Basallo can contribute cWPA to Baltimore. With about half the year to year player fluctuations and injury results in view, you can kind of MadLib the Orioles old outfielders that might still be unconstrained starters on other contenders with LF-CF-RF WAA weaknesses, and a medium strong middle reliever on those teams where maybe there is a 2024 balanced Bat for Arm situation. RF Santander back to Cleveland for Scott Barlow? CF Mullins to LA Dodgers for Daniel Hudson and/or Blake Treinen? LF Hays to Minnesota for Jorge Alcala?

      IMHO there is close to a zero chance the O's would deal Mayo for Luzardo.  I have doubts we'd trade for him at all, but especially when names like Mayo come up.  Holliday, Mayo, and Basallo are top tier prospects (and Kjerstad is another highly rated one) but Luzardo, while very good, is not worth a top tier prospect. If the Marlins could net Kjerstad in their package I'd call that a win for them, but his inclusion also seems unlikely. To be clear, I'd love to add Luzardo, but like most trade ideas, what we'd give up would have to be agreeable.

      The very concept is baffling  You are supposed to hit a round ball with an oblong bat and hit it Square.  That is very hard to do  No wonder only a very small % of people on the planet can do it very good.

      I know the Brewers are in 1st, but I wonder if they'd be interested in trading Devin Williams if it was primarily MLB pieces being swapped. Looking at their roster, I feel they could use an OF and maybe a 1B/DH lefty bat.  When the time comes, I wonder if something built around around Williams for Ohearn, Santander could come into play? Depends on performance and need closer to All Star Break.  If Milwaukee thinks they can make a run and Williams was healthy, Id probably not trade him

      I have long said that baseball is the ultimate reality show because you just never know what will happen, what personalities will emerge, what fresh talent will shine through.    Very curious to see the show Netflix is doing with the Red Sox this year. I don’t think it will be the last of its kind because behind the scenes of a MLB team for a season is endless drama.

      And it really goes hand in hand. He is hanging in there more this year in ABs, getting into deeper counts so he gets a chance to hit some mistakes. That AB last night was the perfect example of it. If my memory serves he laid off one, and fouled off one prior to the hanger.
