It happens. Some thoughts. By LGOrioles · Posted 5 minutes ago Gunnar is better and was younger last year than Cowser is this year. I’m just saying that the similarities are there between the two. Last year, Gunnar had strikeout issues through June (31% K rate), looked like he was guessing (13 looking K’s through this date in 2023), but hit the ball hard when he did make contact. Cowser has strikeout issues (31.5% K rate), looks like he is guessing at times (9 looking K’s so far this year), but hits the ball hard when he does make contact. He does whiff a lot more than Gunnar so his K rate is going to be higher, and I’m not expecting him to put up the season that Gunnar did last year, but he can still make some adjustments based off the past few weeks. Like you said, not all prospects hit, but even with a high K rate, Cowser’s batted ball quality and defense should make him an above average league player. Just how much better remains to be seen. On the record Poll: Hays or McKenna (Update: McKenna DFA’d, Hays activated) By Sydnor · Posted 9 minutes ago Thanks for calling me stupid. I laid out my rationale for why I preferred McKenna and it relates to Cowser’s playing time. Keep doing you though. Who is exceeding, meeting or failing to meet expectations at the quarter pole? By Malike · Posted 12 minutes ago He is looked at as one of the best pitchers in baseball, it’s hard to exceed those expectations. What would be the next level up? God mode? Who is exceeding, meeting or failing to meet expectations at the quarter pole? By Redgrape · Posted 13 minutes ago Corbin Burnes is the 2nd favorite to win the Cy Young and we think he is only meeting expectations? Two Full Seasons By The B&G · Posted 14 minutes ago I was just thinking about this the other days; with the parade of prospect debuts we’ve seen and with more to come, it’s almost hard to remember when it all started. Kind of incredible to think that just two years ago, Adley hadn’t even arrived yet. Feels like he’s been the face of the franchise for like 5 years All Activity Home IPS Theme by IPSFocus Theme Active Hangout (dark) (Default) HangoutOld Default Hangout Contact Us Cookies Facebook Twitter Youtube Copyright Orioles Hangout 2023 Powered by Invision Community × Existing user?
