what upsets you more... a "Loss" OR "LOB"

[redseat]

What bugs you more as a fan of baseball and of your favorite team?

Does it bug you more when your team losses OR

When your team LOB's a lot of players?

 

[redseat]

LOB for me.... Because obviously the more men you have on, the greater the chance you have at actually winning the game.

(If I knew how to do a poll here I would)

ooo tough one. Unproductive outs leading to a lot of LOBs really grinds my gears, but fuck losing. I give losing a slight edge. You can still win with a lot of LOBs

 

[Think McFly Think]

LOB drives me crazy because last season the Cubs were last in the NL in BA with RISP. So irritating. Cubs lost a lot of one run games last year too.

Peter Griffin!!!

But yes that is true. I know that's the reason the Red Sox lost to the Orioles on opening day

Depends on the situation, but of these 2 choices i would be more upset with a loss...

But what upsets me is when my team just doesnt play intelligently, bad baserunning, getting outs with 3 balls and less than 2 strikes, silly defensive mistakes, swinging too often on the first pitch, etc...

Stupid baseball, is worse than bad baseball and a loss...

 

[redseat]

Yeah I guess that happened in the Sox game where a player didn't tag or something. Could have at least tied game. That sucks too!

Does that mean you would be happier with a loss but few LOB over a win with a lot LOB?

Well, the baseball season is forever you do expect to lose games, so you can tolerate losses, its how you lose that drives you nuts...

Would you rather WATCH a game where you lose vs a better team that day, lets just give the example of a healthy Yu darvish and the Rangers vs felix Doubront and the Redsox, or win one of those ugly games with all the errors, and sloppy play??

My team never competes so I don't get too worked up over losses but I would pretty much take a win over a loss in any circumstance.

to answer your question Lemon..... Milk pretty much summed it up! THANKS MILK!

Another question close to this theme:

Would you rather watch a game where your pitcher has a high WHIP but a Low ERA, or a low WHIP with a high ERA???

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

They are almost equal since the Tigers are known for lots of people LOB..

 

[Omar 382]

Well, this is a retarded question.

 

[redseat]

Well, this is a retarded question.

way to add to the thread then

 

[steveringo]

Obviosly, the loss because that is what counts at the end of the game.

Runners stranded can be frustrating, but throughtout the season it evens out. If you're getting a lot of hits, you're gonna score a lot of runs.

A positive attitude would say you had a great game by getting men on base in almost every innning, you just missed the timely hit. Perhaps you just need to tinker with the batting order....

to answer your question Lemon..... Milk pretty much summed it up! THANKS MILK!

Just so we're clear the answer is you would rather your team lose?

It takes all kinds I guess.

LOB gets at me when it's been a week of constant inning ending double plays and check swing Ks. But I don't care what happens when my Tigers consistantly win games. There no chance LOB gets to me until atleast late April.
