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

[broncosmitty]

Relievers coming in and walking the leadoff sets me off. Id compare that to LOB frustration.

1 out- 2 on - hit into double play. side out with 2 lob, gets to me every time.

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

It takes all kinds I guess.

It eerks me more when my team leaves too many men on base because that usually equates to a loss. so I would much rather a team lose and not have the opportunities squandered with multiple lob's

Ultimately it has to be the loss doesn't it?? I mean that is the objective of the game...win, do not lose.

LOB really piss me the fuck off though. So of all the negatives surrounded by win or a loss I would say LOB ranks at the top. More so then K's, walking a lot of guys(also tick me off) etc..

What pisses me off even more than the options given is having a runner at 3rd with less than 2 outs and failing to get him home.

yes I scream at the top of my lungs when that happens!

At the end of the day it is all about whether the game was watchable or not... We all watch baseball all the time, and know how it feels to watch our team play those boring ass games, or other terrible to watch games... I would rather have my team lose the fun to watch games, than win every Terrible game...

Agreed. More specific version of LOB.

Twins finally getting over that hump in the 7th inning here!!!

It irks me when my team loses because of that but more often than not I don't even notice when they win.

You a Cubs fan?

No, why?

 

[redseat]

No, why?

First team that came to my mind when you said you were a fan of a team that wasn't used to winning

 

[calsnowskier]

LOBs are irritating, but at least you getting the guys on base.

Errors (both physical as well as mental) get to me more than either. Bone-headed plays, or all-around, general bad play pisses me off more than anything. The Giants are 1-1 so far, and I turned off the win in the 6th inning because they were just playing ugly. The loss was a hard fought game that arguably was lost because of officiating. I liked the loss game more than the win, results aside.

A loss. There are a lot of things that contribute to losing and leaving runners on are just one of them. The win is more important that how you win.
