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

I haven’t done any research, but is Cowser’s defense good enough for GG consideration?

Here is the current leaderboard for Outs Above Average (OAA) for outfielders all leagues.

Varsho is shoo-in, Kiermaier switching leagues helps Cowser’s case.

Wow! Ten OAA! He may be the best defender on the team!

According to OAA, it’s not even close.  (Note that Gunnar was scored higher earlier in the year before errors started arising).

Very cool little tidbit here. Cowser switched to a slightly heavier bat after the All Star break - definitely slowing down the swing (but still plus swing speed) and maybe allowing for more mid-swing adjustments for better contact quality?

 

Very cool. Thanks for sharing. I wonder who identified the need for the switch, Cowser or the coaches? Sounds like a story to follow.

Has any team in the history of baseball had runner up and back to back ROY in 3 seasons?

Dodgers had the ROY for 4 years in a row from 79 - 82, and then 5 years in a row from 92 - 96.

Thanks. I was also thinking about recent teams like Cubs, Royals, and Nats.

Up to .250/.331/.459 for a .790 OPS.  Last 30 games he's hitting .301/.365/.544

If he keeps raking, he might win Rookie of the Year.  Mason Miller could come back soon, he's scheduled to throw a bullpen on Monday.  Gil has come back to earth a little bit but still has a strong overall line and is on the Yankees.

Cowser certainly has a shot at it.

No way he beats out a Yankee in a close race. He will have to really stretch things out between himself and Gil

 I think we went over this last month.

Would you care to show me where the Yankees have any sort of advantage in RoY voting?

They have had one in the current millennium.

Did you think Judge didn't deserve the award in 2017?

Right on cue, CoC jumps in to defend his precious Yankees.

Luis Gil wouldn’t net the Yankees anything in terms of draft pick. Not sure if that will have anything to do with voting. Gold glove would seal the deal for Cowser. Worried Kwan may steal it on name recognition.

Gil has just passed his career high for innings pitched in a season (previously 108 back in 2021). Wonder if they have to manage his innings down the stretch or if he can keep it up. He barely through at all in 2022 and 2023.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      By ScGO's · Posted

      JD Davis is at Norfolk; Garrett Cooper is on the 7 Day DL down there.  Davis has been terrible, Cooper was good until he got hurt; any chance he comes back?  Terrin Vavra is back in the fold. Niko Goodrum and Daniel Johnson are having good AAA seasons. Big shrug of the shoulders with that group but its not all that differentiated from the back of the lineup & bench right now; why not start cycling some AAAA guys through over the next couple weeks to see if you can catch lightening in a bottle?  Make some statements sending a few guys to the bench and potentially DFAing Jiminez, Slater, Soto, or Maton. Keep peeling them off until you get Mounty, Westburg, Kjerstad, and Urias back. If one of these AAAA guys performs, ride the wave until its over, then move on to the next guy or cut him when you get an IL guy back.

      FIX THE DANG HITTING!

      These are some good points. The loss of Mountcastle and Urias has really hurt us of late, especially since Holliday is not producing and the Orioles choose to trade Norby and Stowers for Rogers. Both of them would look better in the lineup than Maton, Rivera or Slater, or Jimenez. We already knew losing Westburg was going to hurt as well, but we thought Mayo would produce if called up, and he's struggled as bad as Holliday.  The fact that Holliday and Mayo together have been pretty much zeroes makes me question the Orioles hitting development too. I mean, we expect young players to struggle a bit in the beginning, but together they have gone 5-for-64 (.078) with 34 strike outs in there first 11 games of their careers. How is that even possible?  I mean, the Orioles could have batted pitchers and probably gotten better results.  Since going on that tear when he hit 5 home runs in 10 games when he came back up, Holliday has slashed a pitiful .180/.229/.247/.476 with 31Ks in 96 PAs. That's an absolute zero at the plate.  Over that same span, Adley Rutschman has slashed .180/.258/.231/.489 in 89 PAs. That's a blackhole too. How about that big bopper Elias got at the All-Star break. Jimenez is  slashing .177/.239/.274/.513 in 67 PAs over that span. There's your 3rd blackhole. How about Ryan O'Hearn? Well he's in his annual disappearance act in the second half slashing .212/.268/.303/.571 in 71 PAs. 4th blackhole.  So since August 11th, the Orioles have a lineup full of blackholes and have some how managed to go 12-13, which I guess is a good thing considering the way they've hit. Gunnar and Santander to a lesser extent have been carrying this team and one or two of these blackholes need to start producing again.

      Usually a trip to Boston is a good prescription for an ailing offense. To take advantage of Fenway Park you have to hit it out of the infield, though.

      At this point if you told me they went 9-9 and finished 91-71 I'd be more than satisfied. Probably wouldnt be good enough for the division though unless 2 or 3 of the wins were against NYY. Hard to see them beating any decent team in a series though right now.

      Yeah I had the thought of moving Mullins back up recently as well. Mainly just to get Adley out of that spot though.

      Yesterday was certainly a hate-watch.  Then I got in the truck and hate-listened while doing errands. I'd like to see some guys come off the IL and get back to playing normal but the clock is ticking and I'm afraid that's too much to ask for.  I'd like to believe that the team can go on a run but as you said that's blind faith.

      I think Kjerstad probably saw the post-game spread and thought Taco Bell was a better option.
