Monday July 17: Dodgers in town for 3

[Roy Firestone]

Cowser just isn't squaring up the ball...been a mild disappointment...

[Pat Kelly]

Walk is better that a DP Cowser is you are going to continually ground out. 

[Yossarian]

Cowser's lack of a bat is hurting.  We need him to get going. 

[baltfan]

As I predicted Cowser has struggled just like he did when first at every single level.  Hopefully he gets it together soon

I would love to have the chance. 

At the expense of having a better chance next year and the year after and the year after?

Prospects are killing us right now.  Goddamnit! Its the pennant race. Why the hell are we playing overmatched kids in the goddamn pennant chase?

[allquixotic]

Wow, that was SAD. After Hicks' single, we looked like a little league team against a pitcher who looked really bad.

[Yossarian]

I missed the first part of the game - did they say why Hays is out if the lineup?

[TopGunnar]

Cowser is killing us. He hasn’t hit anything hard since joining the team.

What's a 17th round pick reliever with a 5+ ERA doing pitching for the LA Dodgers, the richest and spendiest team in baseball? No clue what Almonte is doing in that uniform. Maybe he would be suitable for the Royals or the A's this year, but the Dodgers, I can't see it.

With Freeman and Betts contracts even the Dodgers need to cut a few corners. Finding good bullpen guys isn't as easy as it looks

Mr Splash, the vets are killing the team with their defense tonight.

[tntoriole]

Yeah this Cowser guy .. we really were keeping him down  unnecessarily.. 

[O's84]

Probably our best chance and we completely let him off the hook.  Awful inning, 2 out Grand Slam and then runner on 1st not outs and starting with a 3-0 count and then DP.

I've been called everything you can think of for suggesting he might be overrated.

Really a fan of Cowser but his bat is really hurting this lineup right now. How much longer do you run him out there in a pennant race? He obviously wouldn't be out there if Mullins was healthy.
