Cowser is completely scuffling. It's getting hard to keep playing him right now depite what his statcast numbers say. Let Mullins and Mateo split CF and let Cowser reset himself at Norfolk for a few weeks.

Mullins didn’t play today because he can’t hit lefties anymore.  Mateo hasn’t exactly been lighting it up.  Keep giving Cowser ABs and hope for the best.

Bro we have the best OPS and 2nd best ERA in the AL. We're not perfect and there are areas for improvement but let's not stray too far in the other direction. This is a good team and I would say defin

This team is less fun than last years version. I blame Elias. Fix this mess man!

The change in hitting approach is the biggest thing. It wasn’t swing for the fences last year and more of passing the baton. I know I know all of the metrics say we are better right now than last year. But this reminds me a lot of the 2014/2016 teams and we know how that ended. It isn’t a formula for going deep in the playoffs and it lends itself to losing streaks.

Mateo or Urias, one of them has to go to make room for another bat.

At this point I think Cowser remains on the team because he is Gunnar and Adley's BFF. He and his comic personality could use an ego check. Im sure he is very serious and hard worker but the jokes arent funny when you suck.

I want us to stay there!  Maybe I am overreacting, but I hate to lose.  He can always make the team better!  

Deep breaths, don't you want to save some of your lifespan for the Giants season? They are likely to make us more crazy than the O's. Elias will make moves by the end of the month and this team will go to the playoffs and all bets are off there.

Unfortunately for Cowser - he plays in a league that has left-handed pitchers and to be successful and keep your job,  you need to hit left-handed pitchers once in a while.

Oh, the team in 1st place with one of the best records in baseball? Sounds like he's delivered.

There's been a dropoff from last year. People can see it and hence the complaints.

Plus, the team is in first place right now only because the NYY had a horrible month. The goal is to be in first place by the end of 162.

When you're playing a sub .500 team with your ace on the mound at home.... gotta win those games.

It's obviously not the end of the world, and this is baseball, but oof... those games are hard to stomach. It's amazing to me how there are occasional parallels between how we feel about bad losses in 100 win seasons as well as 55 win seasons.

      Winter 2024 40-Man Additions

      By Jammer7 · Posted

      When you are in a championship window, roster spots are extremely important. You need room to wiggle, but also usable players for the major league roster in that year. They could add another, but I don’t think Pham or Van Loon would be lost. If they are, they’re easily replaced. We need shuttle arms, with many of our current group out of options. I wonder if they actually even take a rule 5 pick this year.

      This is the kind of thing that drives me crazy

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      This whole rebuilding from the ground up stuff needs to stop. The rebuild was over a few years ago and the Os have a defined philosophy of how they draft, how they develop, etc…what they had to rebuild from is completely irrelevant now. It’s done, it’s been done. They draft how they draft because they believe it’s the best way. They develop how they develop because they believe it’s the best way.

      He looked good last night. Not overly reliant on his FB too.

      You are looking for reason here?  lol. Good luck. Of course he needs to make adjustments. We knew that the day he drafted him. If he was batting 500 right now, he would still need to make adjustments. Thats what happens.

      This idea that Gunnar should move to third because he’s not elite at SS is pure nonsense.   Even the idea of moving him because he’s not elite and then talking about Holliday and Westburg at SS is laughable. Even with the defensive slump, Gunnar is average at SS.   However, he only made 8 errors at SS last year in 83 games and he was among the top 3 SS in the AL in defensive metrics in the first half. He’s a 23 yo SS who’s already good with the ability to be well above average, if not elite.      SportsGuy has had a Gunnar to 3B agenda for quite some time.   A lot of it had to do with his obsession that Holliday was drafted 1:1 as a SS and SS for the Baltimore was his destiny.   It’s sad. Think about this.  He doesn’t argue that the current, super talented SS can get better.   He only argues that Holliday can get better.    We know Gunnar does everything well at SS but he’s been error prone in the 2nd half.   He has the tools to be very, very good.   He’s also shown he can go long stretches at SS without making a lot of errors. Stop the sillines!

      Right and I’m not trying to turn it into that. Im solely talking about the long term outlook of Gunnar at SS and I don’t see him as a long term answer over there but I do think it’s possible.

      You’re observing Honeycutt really struggle in his debut which has led you to the conclusion that he’s going to need a lot of reworking this off season.   Conclusion  a judgment or decision reached by reasoning.
