most bad right handed relievers are ok against right handed batters.

most relievers are bad starters. most are bad starters because they don't have a pitch to get the opposite hand out.

there's a big difference between a "loogy" and a "roogy" because "roogys" are a dime a dozen (Unless you're talking about Chad Bradford territory, which obviously sosa is not)

I don't necessarily thing Sosa is a roogy, but I think if you do your best to have him avoid LHB, he might be able to be servicable. You just have to have a quick hook with him if a lefty comes even close to him.

So he's not a ROOGY, but he shouldn't face lefties?

[Bobbob1313]

He's not a shut down guy against righties, like a Bradford, who has super low OBP and SLG against. Sosa keeps RHB off the basepaths pretty well for his career, but he's got like a .170 ISO against, so he's not a shut down. That doesn't mean he can't be useful in spots.

Of cours, just because he can be useful, though, doesn't mean he should be used in a tie game, or that he even necessarily deserves a roster spot, given better options. But as long as he's on the roster, he can be useful in certain situations. This was probably not one of them.

I'm not saying Sosa's anything but a mediocre reliever. But if you do it right, he can maybe work.

Prince Fielder hits balls hard.

ROOGY/LOOGY doesn't have anything to do with being "shutdown", it has to do with inability to get the other hand out.

I like how bob has no emotion.

Actually, that would be my schtick. I'm 1/4 Vulcan.

[Bobbob1313]

Well, yeah, he has an inability to get LHP. And he's merely ok against RHP. He's an extremely borderline RP who can have some utility.

Sometimes, I get so angry I spit loogys

[Beef]

I'm ambivalent towards Rich Waltz, but I swear to God I fucking hate hearing him say "Philadelphia"

Philodolfia.

[Beef]

It is the worst thing he does, without a doubt.

I was makin a doodie and I yelled to my Sals about how much I fucking despise that.
