Cowser gonna break out soon. I feel it.

Not gonna play tonight outside of maybe on pinch hitting appearance.   Same tomorrow vs Kikuchi.   Than Gausman.   So probably has to wait to get hot until the crappy Mets rotation which is made up of washed up old guys and nobodies comes to town.   But a couple of them are lefties.

Not sure what the timetable on Hicks or Mullins is but I think if Cowser hasn't shown something at the plate by the time the first one of those guys comes off the IL, he'll be back in Norfolk.

I'm rooting for him.

I bet he'll get some ABs after the O's knock Ryu out in the 3rd or 4th inning. :)

    • I think it’s like when our fans are terrified because a team brings up a spot starter from AAA and we fear they are going to turn into Cy Young.
    • “It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.” — A Bartlett Giamatti https://mason.gmu.edu/~rmatz/giamatti.html  
    • https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5790069/2024/09/25/mlb-awards-2024-keith-law-picks/?source=user_shared_article Keith Law says it’s clearly Cowser (he has Gil runner up and Langford third), though in a backhanded sort of way. “Two things can be true at the same time: Colton Cowser has been the best rookie in the American League this year, and Colton Cowser is a flawed player who can’t play every day on a playoff team. By any measure, Cowser is leading AL rookies in WAR, and it’s not that close. “
    • For the actual breakdown of the components that make up a position player’s rWAR, see Player Value—Batting in a player’s Baseball Reference profile.  There is also a comprehensive explanation of the rWAR formula, see WAR Explained (v2.2). https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/cowseco01.shtml    
    • Complete no figure post KS is resetting thier starters for the WC Round whoever it is. Why is he terrfied? Youre team is in a pennant race and you dont have to face thier top starter
    • Every year at the end of the season, I feel a little melancholy. For me, the end of summer is not the start of school or the arrival of fall, but the end of baseball season. Today is the last day of a long song, and I will miss it. I know we have at least four more days, but those are in a different category, although I will miss that too when it ends. During the darkest days of the season, I posted frequently that the worst day of baseball is still baseball. When the Os played terrible, I would go focus on the Brewers or the A’s or Mariners(who were almost as frustrating as the Os) and follow along with former Orioles, rooting for all of them. That will all stop by tonight, and I will miss it until next February, when pitchers and catchers report. If I’m still here, I’ll be here.    Go Os…
    • We have to wait and see. But it shouldn’t matter as you have to beat whomever you play.
