I made the Rivera thread because I feel it is a reasonable question. Is the offensive trade off enough to keep Loney on the pine? I'm ready for disagreement. I don't really care. I very much don't. I just hate trying to make it about being fed up with one another. I can't reiterate enough that the walk wasn't about Rivera. It was about Kemp-Ethier and then no RISP action aside from a fortunate call in that BB at bat. Need a 5 hitter! Why is Loney complete dog shit when Rivera is hitting very similar?It's perception vs reality kind of. I can be very irrational. I don't think the Rivera/Loney question is but that's jmo. I can respect you don't agree. That you think Rivera is much better than Loney. I just don't think he is that much better and can't respect getting lambasted by a fellow pal because of something I really do think is reasonable.
