Rivera has a better SLG, RBI, HR...that's all I care about for middle order guys.(middle order on our team that is)
guys with no power. Had he hit it harder, it goes through...but he has no ability to hit the ball harder, especially going the other way. Hairston looks like a power hitter compared to the much larger pussy they call James fucking loney.
Rivera has 1 more HR lol Rivera slugging is like .344 and Loney's is .332 Rivera has an on-base of .292. Rivera hits into a higher DP rate than Loney does. Loney has a higher OPS and OPS + The argument isn't who's way better than the other one. The fact of the matter is they are virtually the same poor offensive player, so if a right hander is on the mound, let the left handed one hit and play superb defense. It's all about no significant offensive trade off. Not about loving one dud more than the other.
Actually, Loney has GIDP more. You are using miniscule differences to make Rivera "Better". I am only using the logic you're using to show you that they are very similar. I'm not trying to make anyone better than the other one. You are.
Well, all I know is that if someone is claiming Loney should start a majority of our games...I hate the idea. Loney is shit every game everytime. Rivera is not a good player, but he's better than Loney. Today is a great example. Facing a washed up P.O.S. RHP like Marquis, and he still sucks balls. oh, nice scope there GG James...fucking loser.
The argument is only ridiculous because you have made it ridiculous. Perhaps arguing between 2 players that aren't good is ridiculous in the first place, but then again that is my point. They are almost the same offensively, and you insist Rivera is way better. But I am lame. Nvm. I'm not the irrational one here. Guess it's karma.
What a play by uribe, and how the fuck does Loney not catch a hop that was far in front of him? Not even a short hop geez
They just showed Rivera's HR against the Angels. I haven't seen a Loney highlight in a few months. starting Loney is lame.
