Watching Cowser having success this year makes me wonder what Kyle Stowers could do with a fair chance and some regular playing time. 

If hays continues to scuttle…I think it might be time to send him down to AAA to figure it out and bring Stowers up. Stowers does have success against lefties so he might be a good backup for both Cowser and Mully.

LOL.  Wilt Chamberlin on Kareem Abdul Jabaar’s shoulders couldn’t have caught that. It got out quick.  Cowser got a little closer to the wall than he realized.  No biggie.

He's clearly a fan favorite.  I saw multiple people dressed in cow shirts or costumes.  Just a matter of time before the cowbell show up.   Because you can never have too much cowbell!

I think Hays is out of options now and even if he keeps struggling I don't see that happening assuming an option is left.

Roster Resource has Hays at one option left and slightly over 4 years service time.

Because Hays just did lose his job. 
 

The difference between Cowser and Hays is night and day. Cowser might end up striking out a lot but he’s not pull happy. He’s fine with going to the opposite field. 
 

Hays has the patience of a gnat and tries to pull everything. It’s almost polar opposites in hitting approaches. 
 

I like Hays as a guy, he seems like a good dude and he’s been a good player off and on.  But the valleys in his game are getting too low and too long to justify giving him at bats when there are guys like this swinging.

Hays has a little bit of a "I might have just lost my job" look when they cut to the dugout 😬

This should motivate Hays. He should be at the park early working on hitting the ball the other way. A great leader remains unfazed even when they are struggling.

But I was told nobody should lose their job after a 10 game slump.

Unfortunately there is no pick for second place, and only one PPI pick per team, so even if we have ROY and #3 MVP different players we would get only one pick I believe.

Fair enough, but on the other hand, Holliday coming in second this year opens him up for some MVP considerations in a few years.

The problem is Hays already swings away too often and he might press it even more trying to get out of this slump further contributing to his downward spiral. Extra work is fine, but Hays had got to relax at the plate and force the pitcher to throw strikes.

      I agree, he'd be a nice logical fit for us.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      By sportsfan8703 · Posted

      Zach Eflin TB is a starter that would have game 2 or 3 potential. He’s owed $18 million next year in his last year. That’s pretty pricey for the Rays.  I’d put him up there with rentals Kikuchi and Severino as best fits.

      You do know that Gunnar is hitting .290? Rustchman .300? O'Hearn .283? Westburg .282? Mountcastle .276? Watch the games much?

      Luis Robert

      By Bemorewins · Posted

      @Filmstudy that you for the detail on why you don't believe that Robert is a good fit. I tend to agree. 1. Cedric is finally coming out of his funk. 2. (And I know you don't put much stock into what coaches and FO personnel say publicly based on your excellent Raven's content) But Elias just about stated outright yesterday during his media appearance in Norfolk that all of his interest in acquisitions would be as he called it "on the pitching side".  3. Our offense is already # 1 in the sport as is. However, our pitching has not been very good since we have been forced to go with Suarez, Irvin, and Povich as the #3, 4, 5 options. IMO that combo over a long stretch of time will put a serious strain on the bullpen AND you really would not your chances of defeating multiple teams in the playoffs with any of them getting starts in every round (some times in pivotal/possible elimination games). IMO pitching is the real need/where the weaknesses lie.  4. I just wanted to give a shout out for your devotion to the belief in platoons...lol... But if the O's did acquire Robert by some chance, there is literally less than a ZERO chance that he would be used as a platoon player.

      It's a partially elastic collision, so the EV reduction is going to be a little less than the velocity reduction from a thrown baseball.   I also think that hitters would eventually adjust and there would be more hitters in the mold of Luis Arraez, that focus on hitting soft line drives with a 65 mph bat speed.  Either way the BABIP of a whiff is .000 so I think baseball is better served seeing more batted balls even if BABIP is slightly depressed due to a reduction in EV.  Launch angle is also a large component to BABIP and batters can still square the ball up to maximize their chances.  And since a heavier ball will move less, it should be easier to square it up.
