My buddy and I think Buck should penalize Lough this same way.

Lough is fast and never seen a runner get a worse jump either...

The dude can catch and that is about it.

You should think about making a Macro, to cut down on all the typing.

Its the game thread. You MUST grossly overreact to short term trends. Jimmy Paredes was hitting well as recently as Wednesday, but he has been in a 3 day slump so he needs to be benched or moved down in the order. Tillman has been our best, most consistent pitcher since 2012 but he's off to a poor start this year and we're not even two months into the season, so suddenly he sucks, is a #4 or #5 starter, and we shouldn't think about extending him. On the micro level, he has given up 2 runs in 4 in innings, mostly due to bloop hits and an error, so that means he's terrible and you see crap like "hopefully his pitch count gets him out of the game before he gives up too many runs".

Remember... The baseball season is really short. If you have a bad inning, it means you will have a bad game. If you have a bad 3 day stretch, you should be benched. If you have a bad month or two, your season is lost and you should be cut.

Always remember to overreact to short term trends, especially negative ones. Like the saying goes, you are always as bad as you look when you're losing. That's what it says, right?

Indeed it is a game thread. Dismount much?

Nice strawman, so easy to shoot down. How about providing an actual quote along those lines.

Tillman through May last year, ERA 4.68, 2015 5.33, so he's up over half a run. Will he bounce back? Hopefully, but that doesn't mean "our most consistent pitcher since 2012" isn't struggling right now.

Well the only place that anyone thinks Lough is possibly an every day player is a few like you on this board.

Tntoriole, earlier in this game thread: "He is no better than a 4th starter".

      The Braves series, June 11-13

      I thought the peak was about 30? If it’s 26, that would suggest Adley is already starting his downhill.

      I feel like this team may be a little older than the past teams. Definitely a good start for the hitters. We normally get trounced in this league.

      6-man rotation is officially happening

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      You will see a good pitcher no matter what. We have the #3 pitching staff in MLB and guys are pitching well from top to bottom of the rotation.

      Well being honest....it is hard not to.  They were that bad.   Although for me I thought he looked just as bad in the field.   It was almost as if he had never played baseball before.  At times he could barely throw to first base.

      At least we now know he has pro-grade HR power. Aberdeen's a tough park to hit them out and he cleared the fence easily. Im encouraged.

      What can we get for him in a trade? Does he even have any trade value remaining?

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By Flash- bd · Posted

      To put things into context, Jackson has so far an .898 OPS at AAA in his age 20 season (he started the season at over 1.000 before his call-up, I don't think it's a stretch to suggest that going up and struggling might've had some effect on his numbers afterwards).  Mayo at age 20 had a .782 OPS between A+ and AA. Basallo will turn 20 in 60 days. He's about 2/3 of a year younger than Holliday. In his age 19 season he currently has an .810 OPS in AA. In Jackson's age 19 season he had a .928 OPS at Bowie before moving on to AAA where he OPS'd .796 in 91 PA.  Unless there is important statistic evidence suggesting that ISO at the minor league level is a more important indicator of future success than say wRC+ or OPS (and if this were true, we should be encouraged by the fact that Jackson has gone from a .176 ISO--.133 at the same level--to .196 ISO from age 19 to 20) I don't really see any argument for putting Basallo or Mayo above them. With all due respect--because I think you are putting forth some interesting points and almost convinced me before I did this little exercise--I think you are likely subconsciously being affected too strongly by Jackson's 36 PA at the ML level.
