Watching David Lough Bat Makes My Eyes Bleed

[Rene88]

I consider not having to watch De Aza a benefit.

Had to get one last shot in.

LOL-Kinda like the caught looking by Lough? Lovely.

All glove, no hit.

But De Aza was better? Where were you for all of his 34 SO, good for 2nd on the team to only Davis? Lovely.

Buck was actually pretty candid in his remarks today and said the taking has been there all year. He is ready for someone to take over LF and RF.

Let me be clear (I think I have been). I don't like Lough, but I liked him more than De Aza.

Not really when you quote someone else who was taking a shot at De Aza and respond by comparing that with your favorite whipping boy.

Thanks for clearing it up now though.

You must have really hated De Aza considering you wanted to trade Lough for Nate McLouth when McLouth was in the midst of a season where he put up -0.7 rWAR (-0.5 fWAR), and were concern-trolling as to whether people were still happy with the Lough-Valencia trade three weeks into the season that Valencia ended up recording 0.3 rWAR and 0.4 fWAR. Lough meanwhile put up 1.6 rWAR and 1.9 fWAR.

I don't think you have a firm grasp on Lough's value to the Orioles.

In 2 ABs since striking out looking, Lough was robbed of a base hit and then got a base hit.

Those threads made me laugh. It's the same "usual suspects" that hate everything the Orioles do.

He is a perfectly cromulent player. Coming into today he had a 95 OPS+, 95 OPS+ in 2014 and 96 OPS+ in 2013. Combine that with above average defense and above average baserunning (despite being a below average base stealer), and you have an average-ish player.

Lough seems to run a lot faster in the OF than on the bases. Would it be legal for him to wear a glove when he's on base? Probably not.

Ok, I had to look it up.

Cromulent. Used in an ironical sense to mean legitimate, and therefore, in reality, spurious and not at all legitimate.

How about an oven mitt?

Heh, sorry. It is from the Simpsons. I used it to mean adequate, which is the way it is used in the episode.

Wiktionary defines it as "(humorous) Fine, acceptable or normal; excellent, realistic, legitimate or authentic".

Ok, Simpsons. That's funny.

And some threads make me laugh with the same "usual suspects" that have blind allegiances and love everything the Orioles do.
