So much hyperbole.

No one HATES Cowser.

Why would they?

You can be critical without it devolving into hate.

I didn't use the word hate. 

I said dislike.   And just read this thread.   Half the people here say he should be sat or even send back down.  They poo poo anything he does well.

It is really strange to me considering his rookie status and the flashes he has shown.  He does things that show he can be elite.  Of course he has his warts.  He is a rookie after all.  But he flashes.

You got me curious to look at some of Cowser's zone judgement data. His strike zone awareness in terms of swinging at strikes and not swinging at balls overall is pretty decent. His chase rate is

Cowser beating out that 2 out grounder to first base completely changed this game. That hustle allowed holidays 3 run double and changed it from down 2-0 going into the 7th to being up 3-2. Huge hustl

The hate for Cowser is the one that I find amazing.  The guys is fun, nice, aesthetic and has shown signs of being a really REALLY good player.

 

But wow do some on here dislike him. 

You didn't use the word hate?

You know, if you were a plus member you could edit out things like you using the word hate.

Or are you trying to say that having hate for Cowser is somehow not the same as hating Cowser?

That isn't true, Luis Gil is, followed by Mason Miller, then Wilyer Abreu, then Cowser. It's not April, it's June.

Ah, yeah you’re right. I was looking at odds that hadn’t been updated yet. Looks like we’ve got to do some damage against Gil to further our odds if we get the opportunity.

Do they?   Or do they just want him to hit better than he has the last 6-7 weeks, and start hitting offspeed/breaking stuff better?   I don’t consider that hate.  

Cowser has proven he can hit the fastball, and that when he really gets hold of one, he can hit one an extremely long way.   That’s great.  His defensive range is excellent.  Those are his strengths.  I’d just like to see some signs of eliminating/reducing his weaknesses.   Hopefully that will come.  Until it does, he’s going to get some criticism.  It doesn’t come from hate.

Some of the hate for Cowser has been over the top. There’s one poster who is the biggest offender but I won’t name him.  

He would probably tell you that you aren’t a sports guy!

Well you quoted a post where I used the word dislike.

The bigger question is why do you dislike other Oriole fans so much?  Shouldn't we all be in this together?

But you are by far the most negative 'fan' I have ever seen on a fan message board.  You nitpick and criticize just about every post I make.   About every little thing.  It is exhausting.  And I am the biggest Os fan there is.  Just ask my parents or my wife haha.   Hell I even have a bowling bag that is an Orioles bowling bag.  :)

Can't you just be a little nicer and less crotchety to people that support the same entity as you?

 

I don't get it.

I dislike what I consider poor posts.  I've grown spoiled and expect a certain level of competence from the posters here.

Question.  And this is not a cut down but a genuine question.  Are you an older man?  70 or higher?  Live alone?  No real family or friends?

 

Because you seem to live and die by what is said on this message board.  You really take it very seriously.  Obsessively so.  I sincerely hope that you have a full and bountiful life outside of this board.

Question.  Can you do math?

My date of birth is in my profile.

I take this board obsessively seriously?

Here I thought I posted a bunch of music and a large percentage of my posts are jokes.

Here is a suggestion.  Either just don't respond to my posts or put me on ignore.  Especially since most of your posts to me have nothing to do with the Os.

I think you, me and the board would be much happier that way.

You could put me on /ignore.  Or do you need to be a plus member for that?

I forget.

      Congratulations Yankees

      Soto and Judge are both first ballot Hall of Famers when they retire.  Soto is younger than Adley, has a career bWAR over 36, and dominated the 2019 postseason as a 21 year old. Folks probably weren't paying much attention to him or the Nats back then, but he has been a force ever since being called up in 2018. And Judge...not sure why nobody else saw value in a six and a half foot man with a ton of raw power, but good for them for nailing that 32nd pick in the draft. Having these guys 2 and 3 in the lineup is such a game changer, because there is so much pressure on the opposing pitchers to not screw up with any of their other 7 hitters.  One guy you may be able to get around.  But 2.....much harder.   That being said, I do think it is more about us losing the division than anything else.  Tampa showed us last year how to keep fighting in spite of injuries. Those guys were decimated and were like a relentless swarm of bees hanging around us all the way until the last weekend.  They won 99 games with an extremely depleted pitching staff and a slew of no-name hitters who kept coming up with big hits.  We lost this division by playing uninspired, unclutch, and lame baseball for three full months.  And amazingly, we will have gone all of July, all of August, and all of September without so much as a 4 game winning streak.   Winning the season series against every division opponent for the second year in a row is something I am very happy about after years of being a doormat. I am sorry we couldn't win the division, but I am also glad to be playing next week and not sitting at home waiting to play a team on a high after winning a playoff series.

      It's game 160 tonight and we just discovered our bull pen has warts? Elias's fault, Hyde's fault - we've had ample threads of he sucks, they suck, fire him, demote him, etc.  Well we are off to the playoffs and the pen may be the reason we don't go far. And if so I doubt few on here will be surprised. It is what it is going forward with some but not necessarily significant adjustments. We play this year out with the hand we can put together - next Monday. Till then, just win one in Minnasota for the bottom line. Last night is over and IMO really didn't teach us anything we didn't already know.

      I didn't spell it out well enough.    I was meaning season long results of Orioles teams with full Rutschman seasons 2023-2027 against the Yankees.    They are now 1-1.

      Yeah I'm all for sportsmanship but seeing 'Congratulations Yankees' at or near the top of the board is sickening, not gonna lie.  There is no high road when it comes to these clowns.  Boone's constant whining, the well-documented HP ump favoritism (I don't care if its framing or whatever, its happening, and its annoying AF), the whining about Judge getting hit on the hand while their guys constantly pitch inside including of course the Kjerstad play where they were literally cutting up on the bench as he lay prone on home plate, the ginormous payroll, the incredibly entitled fan base booing at pitches being called balls that are three inches off the plate, that stupid roll call, that stupid whistle after strikeouts, the stupid national media drooling over a Judge v Ohtani WS possibility, Nestor Cortes and his dumb mustache, the mediocre stadium that is revered simply because its called Yankee Stadium, the ridiculously short RF porch, the Soto Shuffle or whatever the hell it is. Congratulations my ass.  Screw those dudes.

      Here's the deal. I doubt anyone on the Yankee's board congradulated us last year. This year they won the East. Whippie for them. It's like saying the IRS won tax season. IF, we do anything in the playoffs, we may meet again. But there are some significant hurdles before that. And they could easily lose along the way. Cleveland, Houston, Detroit, and KC are no walk in the park. I'll root for the O's to go as far as they can and that the Yankees are one and done. We are in. I hope we win one more so we play the opening round in Oriole Park. If not, we are still in and have to do what we got to do to go anywhere. Two years in a row. While the Red Sox, Blue Jays, and Tampa sleep. Year two with a heck of a lot more obstacles. This may not be a WS year but we are competitive, young, and a hell of a lot classier than that bunch in the Bronx.

      The usage of Cano last night was poor, I don't even blame him really.  Yankees had 9-1-2 coming up, and Torres is well known (based on the telecast) to hit Cano well, and hit sinkers well.  He laced that hit to RF off him on Tuesday where the Yanks screwed up the baserunning.  And Soto got a hit off him that same inning.  So it was pretty predictable that these guys were going to tee off when he came in, and that's exactly what happened. Not to mention he's pitched a lot recently, and Burnes should have pitched another inning anyway.  Just baffling decisions by Hyde last night, and I'm not one to generally question those types of things.  Even if the Burnes thing was pre-ordained, the choice of Cano for that moment was terrible.
