Sunday 6/2/2024 - Os vs Tampa Bay Rays

[O's84]

Series win but man, we let this game get away.  Between the offense, Hyde leaving Tate in inexplicably.

[Roy Firestone]

I'm thinking Cowser is NOT the guy to swing there...Stowers IS.  Doesn't matter we lose...Hyde stayed with Tate too long...

Cowser for Mullins with the way Colton has been hitting. Eek. 

It was smart. Cowser can hit the fastball.  He just missed this one.

This loss is on Hyde. 

Well, certainly on Hyde for leaving in Tate too long. But this offense was putrid when runners were on. Mounty with a dumpster fire of an AB in the 8th really cemented things.

It's pretty obvious Hyde doesn't like Stowers. No other explanation for why he rarely gives him a chance.

[Ripken]

Top two hitters were on 8 times.  Eight.

[Dunk35]

Hyde mismanaged this game. But you gotta score more than 3 runs when you get 15 hits. 13 LOB is just pathetic.

I agree Cowser has been scuffling give Stowers a chance instead even if the odds are low.

He's been abysmal lately. Both of them. Not a great choice either way for Hyde. You leave Mullins in, and he's probably an easy out. Cowser has been pretty lackluster lately. It's the right move, but it stinks to be in this situation because of Mateo getting hurt. 

Also, where is Stowers there?

I’d like to go on record with the opinion that Dillon Tate should never come out for a second inning ever.

You call that hitting? At this point I wonder if it's mental for Cedric.

He's missed a bunch the last month... Stowers was the guy to give a chance there.

Cowser is batting .180 since May and slugging at .275. Do you think that's an upgrade?

That was the headscratcher for me. Where was Stowers?
