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. 

He last pitched Monday so it looks like they are managing his innings now. I think he will be lucky to get to 140 for the season.

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 don’t mind that. 
 

and only like 7 of the last 30 ROTY winners (both leagues over 15 years) have been pitchers.

I think Cowser will have to stay on his current hot pace to start gathering some traction with the big media.  
 

 

He's currently the betting favorite to win AL ROY, I think he is already getting attention

Amazing what happens when you have the same basic approach and balls start to find green instead of gloves.

The one adjustment I have noticed is that he is pulling the ball for power a little more.

He has been using all fields all year but he had a lot of long fly outs to the warning tracks in left center quite often. Now he’s pulling it a little more and they are going over the fence.

Agreed.  And it was crazy to see how many posters so quickly turned on him just because his traditional stats were tanking even though his batted ball metrics were still good.

There are a lot of trees in the forest that people choose not to see.

He doesn't have to do anything to gain traction with big media because he already has their attention. He got the most votes in a recent poll by MLB.com for AL rookie of the year.

As I've said before, this is Cowser's award to lose. Voters don't want to give the award to a guy like Miller who is a relief pitcher on one of the most lifeless teams of all time. Langford isn't in Cowser's zip code by WAR. And there has been an expectation from the beginning that Gil will have his innings managed.

Nice.  Hadn’t seen that poll.  I stand corrected.

      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.

      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.
