I'm at the game and they didn't show the replay. Why was cowser called out? What happened to him?

He swung. The pitch hit his hand in the act of swinging. Never made contact with the bat. So it's a K.

The coaching is so bad.  How is Cowser swinging at that pitch?  Adley is so in his own head.  Stop watching video whatever prep and strategy they are deploying is NOT working. 

Colton is who he is, and he can not avoid a strikeout, he is a strikeout machine.  Adley had a great at bat, just hit it on the nose to Witt.

Got hit by a pitch, yes, but he also swung at strike three so it didn’t matter.

I can't believe what I just saw with any of Tony, Colton or Adley.

For Cowser Hyde decision to not pinch hit forced me to look up Angel Zerpa's splits hoping for some rationale explanation, but nope, Zerpa does not have reverse splits.

Leaving the bat on his shoulder on that 2-0 pitch is not a component of a great at bat.

Too be fair Anthony was facing a pitcher on his last legs and failed.  That's said Cowser is awful all the time in the clutch.  Most of the team is awful right now, it's very hard to watch.

Tony sung at TWO balls.  He takes those, count in his favor and they are not favoring the high heat they are clearly going after him with!

    • Hard to argue with a lot of your points. He's had two 1-1 and should have taken Witt over Rutschman and has a poor defensive second baseman with hitting issues with his other one.  He gets one more offseason with bigger pocketbooks. He gets one more year to put up or shutup.
    • Baseball is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall all alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. A.

    • Let him walk. That pop up with the bases loaded and no outs sort of encapsulates the entire postseason for us. It was a pathetic effort and we ended up with squat in a clutch situation.  The HRs are cool but he doesn't hit for average and is only getting older. And he sucks in the playoffs. Goodbye.
    • Is Brandon Hyde going to pull out the “ we just need to do a better job” boilerplate or is he coming up with another way to say the same thing?    It’s easy to be snarky right now. There’s choking under pressure and there’s whatever the team has done over the last couple months. “Choke” doesn’t begin to cover the gag they threw up the last two nights when the season was on the line. Fans leaving the stadium right now aren’t just disappointed, many of them feel betrayed. Hard to blame them. I wonder if Elias might feel the same way. 
    • none of the above.
    • I just can't comprehend how the 2023 team PLUS Corbin Burnes devolved into this pile of excrement. This may be a .500, non-playoff team next year. I didn't expect any sort of magical run this playoff season, but I didn't think they'd get embarrassed AGAIN on the national stage. 
    • Better yet, where was Adam Frazier when we needed him most.....oh, wait, in the other dugout.    Bases loaded, no one out....sure could have used that guy that Hangouters had to jettison out of here favor of Jackson Holliday.
