Lew Ford, 2013

.

Lew Ford went 3-for-3 tonight, and has a .529 batting average.

I don't think that he'll make the team when we go north next month, but I really admire his Harry Greb-like style of non-stop punching in his profession, whether it be in spring training, the regular season, the Japanese Leagues, AAA baseball, or the Independent Leagues.

No matter where he is, Ford always lets both hands go, and doesn't stop swinging until his manager tells him to get off of the field.

I'm liking all of the O's AAA men fighting for a job (Robinson, Ford, Ishawawa, Pridie, Navarro, etc,) These guys are battlers and I hope to see them here and there throughout the season.

To be honest, I really don't want Ford to succeed as I think we have better options with higher upside.

But he's making it really hard to root against.

LEW baby. He is nails.

I had lunch with my dad today and said the Orioles would have won a lot more games with Lew Ford playing instead of Thome. He couldn't figure out why they traded for him. I don't totally agree with that because Thome brought a lot of intangibles, but he probably is right.

Phooooey on your "want". Great role model for young guys - and can steal, play all 3 OF positions. Character!

If you aren't a ML caliber pitcher, Lew Ford will let you know. He's demolished AAA and ST pitching since he joined the Orioles.

He's a fine backup for a bit of hitting against LHPs plus some value added on defense and speed.

Lew is simply continuing last year's assault on mlb pitching!

I hate this guy. Enough already. Death to you Lew Ford!

Wasahoozit? Ishikawa says all this Lew Ford love is making him crazy too. Can't a man get some respect for proper spelling? It's not like his name is Reimhold or Castilla or Weiters for Pete's sake. :002_sconfused:

This is MacPhail thinking.

Man, I just remembered I hate Lew Ford.

I love any player that loves the game, treats the game with respect...and not just the money.
