He did nothing this series but show he should starting at least 3+ times a week until he proves otherwise.

I’am very bias on this topic. He is our son’s bf from HS. We’ve been to spring training with him, we were at his weeding. Since we lost our son to cancer that same year they graduated. He’s our guy!!

Stowers showed us a little something yesterday. - First AB, a screaming line drive double 109.7 off the bat. - Second AB, he hustles out of the box on a routine grounder that ticks off the s

Not likely.  The likelihood of a post being about the OP goes down dramatically after about the 10th page.

I do think Stowers has a greater than 0 chance of being on our OD roster next year. 

Mayo replaces Urias

Stowers replaces Santa

Holliday replaces Mateo

Basallo replaces McCann(probably another C for a bit)

I will say and it's not said enough, I feel genuinely bad for players like Stowers and Norby.

Both were drafted fairly high, and have done nothing in the minors but hit. In any other organization they would have made the major league club out of spring training, but here they spend 80% of their season toiling away at a level they've long since graduated to get a call up to site on the bench primarily only to be sent back down a few weeks later.

It has to be a true test of their psyche.

Pros and cons.   They could be on a crap team with crap development, get their MLB opportunity, and the fizzle out due to poor development.  It could be a lot worse.  I imagine they are pretty thankful for their opportunity to train with one of the best organizations in the league and will be better off for it in the long run.

I was getting ready to reply with a similar comment.  Makes you wonder how all of our draft picks would be doing if they were being developed in our minor leagues 10-20 years ago.

I think they envy Joey Ortiz. He was deemed not good enough for the Baltimore Orioles. He got  traded to a team where he  earned a chance to play at the big league level. Making over $700k this year. Probably will get a chance to play in the big league for a number of more years. I don't think Stowers and Norby are happier at Norfolk.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By Allan Bryant · Posted

      While I am impressed with Basallo’s performance , are we forgetting that he is ONLY 19 years old ?  Or he is at AA level ?   And we want bring him up this season ?  SMH

      Considering who’s on the bench, this lineup is pretty solid.

      Should I have aspirations to be on the Hangout Grand Counsel?

      By Il BuonO · Posted

      On OH? Come now, come now, you're much too dumb now.  No one is excluded from the Grand Counsel. Furious posting pace is all that is required. With a little hard work and dedication, you too can join the hallowed ranks.

      The Yankees DH yesterday was Jahmai Jones and J.D. Davis was battling in the cleanup spot. 😬

      Catch probability question...

      By Frobby · Posted

      Unfortunately, the game logs such as the one you linked don't show the catch probability of various plays.   So far as I know, the only way to find them is: 1.   Using a laptop or desk computer (not a phone), go to the Baseball Savant page for the player who made/missed the play. 2.  Scroll down to the light green ribbon and click on "fielding." 3.  Scroll further down until you seen the graph that shows distance and hang time on the two axes.  Each dot represents a play, with red dots representing catches made and grey representing catches not made.   From there, you have to take educated guesses as to which dot represents the play you are looking for.   When you click on the dot, a video of the play will come up along with a side box noting the date, and you can confirm if you found what you are looking for. 4.  Once you've found the right dot, you can hover the cursor over it and it will give you a catch probability.    It's a complete pain in the butt to have to do it this way, but there it is. So, I have done that for the three plays described in the OP: The Julio Rodriguez attempt on O'Hearn's double was rated a 15% probability catch, requiring the CF to cover 95 feet in 4.8 seconds. The Austin Hays diving catch was rated a 75% probability catch, requiring Hays to cover 37 feet in 3.3 seconds. The Anthony Santander sliding catch was deemed an 80% probability catch, requiring Santander to cover 98 feet in 5.4 seconds. For an extra added bonus, this July 2 catch by Colton Cowser in the LF corner was rated a 40% probability catch, requiring Cowser to cover 95 feet in 5.0 seconds.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By vab · Posted

      What about Chris Bassitt for the rotation? I remember some rumors that the Orioles had interest when he signed with Toronto. He's got about $33 million left for the rest of this year and next. Aside from the help for the rest of this year and assuming Burnes is gone, they're going to need an anchor-type who can give them 180-200 innings. I definitely wouldn't go Mayo, Basallo or Holiday in a deal but maybe a McDermott, a couple in the Norby, Beavers, Etzel, Fabian, Cook level and maybe one of the young international prospects.
