Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Welp. The dream of the Orioles having back-to-back Rookies of the Year is officially dead. Colton Cowser came tantalizingly close to winning the award, which was announced yesterday, but fell just short to Yankees starter Luis Gil.
The margin of defeat could hardly have been closer. Gil earned 15 first-place votes and 106 points, while Cowser got 13 and 101. Cowser was listed on the most ballots — with 27 of 30 voters putting him in their top three, compared to 26 for Gil — but those first-place votes made the difference.
