I'm excited to have Lough back in the lineup. It looks like Buck is trying to play Hundley/Caleb for 2-3 days and then switch off.

Lough having one good game was the worst thing that could have happened.
Buck needs to keep playing Pearce 5 days a week.
Incoming snark from Webby in 3....2....1..

He was 2-20 before Sun. 1 game does not make you hot. More importantly Pearce continues to have good ABs and has been fine in the field.

Lough is a solid player...the overreacting on his struggles in a SSS are flat out stupid.
He shouldn't be a starter but as a guy who can get 300-400 at bats, play defense, speed, etc....

He's horrible. He's a dime a dozen player. Stop playing him 4 days a week. Period. We'd be better with Berry up here.

If Lough is getting 300-400 ABs you are in deep crap.
What's with Balt and it's fans completely overrating LFs. Matos, Bigbie, Pie, Lough.

Fine line between wishful thinking and overrating. Besides they are all just keeping the seat warm for Nolan, Buck loves him.

Buck loving Nolan is pretty surprising.Fine line between wishful thinking and overrating. Besides they are all just keeping the seat warm for Nolan, Buck loves him.
I forget about Nolan. I can't expect anything there, especially not as an OF.

Lough has 102 plate appearances this year...last year, in 315 PA, he had a slash line of 286/311/413. He showed good defense
last year, as he has this year. He has speed.
In 96 games last year, he had a 2.4 WAR.
He is walking more this year, which is good to see.
His Ld% is awful but it's well below his career average. He isn't this bad of a hitter. His baBip is so poor as well..again, that has to do with the LD% but both will improve and so will his numbers.
His MiL numbers were very solid as well...so, when you look at those numbers and his numbers from last year, it's really dumb to say he's terrible. Looking at 100 PA and making your determination off of that while ignoring everything he has done is about as poor as it gets
He started off poor and then didn't get much playing time..tough to dig yourself out of the hole when you aren't playing(btw, Buck made the right move by not playing him...just saying you can't give him a full evaluation when taking everything into account).

Is Nolan ever coming off the DL? He's pretty much an afterthought to me at this point. If he can somehow get/stay healthy, that's a bonus.

It's funny. Lough will eventually have a decent month and may, emphasis on may, get his OPS up in the high . 500s and when he does the Lough lovers will be slapping their backs.
Of course there is nowhere to go but up for a guy slashing .176/.242/.253. Any random high A OF could do that up here.
The problem was assuming he could be a reg. He's a 4th OF. Treat him as such.

I agree....Lough is a 5th OF AT BEST. Lough should NOT be in the OF, but maybe he's in there solely for defense w/ that swirling wind...and why the hell is Manny still batting 2nd?!?!?!?!? He gets one hit or one HR and buck moves him back to 2nd? Dumb.

He's playing games. Won't be too long.
