Firebarn Chris Coghlan Because Fuck You, That's Why

[InternetApex]

Whoa whoa whoa. I'm at least co-leader of the Coghlan Sucks Firebarn, but Junior Lake is almost certainly going to be worse.

Lake will be better defensively, at least marginally, and it's hard to see him hitting worse (unless he's still as useless against sliders out of the zone).

If Olt can come back healthy, Bryant to left with Olt getting Coughlins ABs seems like the best outcome that doesn't involve calling someone else up or making a trade.

I don't even think Olt is out of a cast yet.

Also, FYSKO.

God dammit. Mike Olt. How is Coghlan not a better option than that depressing dweeb?

I would like to not be lumped into the same group as a guy suggesting Mike Olt over Coghlan. Just clarifying. Otherwise carry on here.

Seems only fair to note that his single and his very good slide into second to force that awful throw to put Herrerra into scoring position led to the winning run. Good baseball play, it was.

Meh.  Herrera would've scored from 1st on Russell's hit.

I know we can't assume the double play but for one reason or another it didn't happen.

Defense would have been playing differently with Herrera on first than on second. 

Addison's hit probably would have been an out.

Yeah I'm just bored.

Chris Coghlan in his last sixteen games (since the start of the Mets series):

14/49, 4HR, 12-8 K/BB, 2SB.  .286/.386/.571

That's more like what you need from LF.  FYSKO!

I've hated him back to competence. You're all welcome.

100 OPS+

Also, that stretch: BABIP is .303, so he's not benefitting from the crazy BABIP-Gods

He'll be a nice bat to have on the bench in a couple weeks when Schwarber comes up.

Is there a thread where we express awe at Kyle Schwarber?

He will be a nice bench bat

He will watch Schwarber be Johnny Bench.
