Gloggers are even more useless than bloggers.

Funny thing is, the premise is correct. Jose Reyes and other players with similar abilities should focus on on-base percentage instead of slugging percentage.

So, I guess this is a case of a wrong arguments leading to a correct conclusion:

" Marco Lockett

Set the table. Lead off base hit for Reyes. He is doing what a lead off man is suppose [sic] to. Instead of dreaming about the long ball set the table for the big boppers. Especially when your [sic] down by a few runs. Solo shots do no damage. Three run mashes demoralize the opposition."

Solo shots don't do as much damage as three run homeruns, but they still do some damage. One run's worth of damage, to be precise.

I am also confused by the clause, "Especially when you're down by a few runs."

If the Mets were down by one run, or if the game was tied, should Reyes then dream about the long ball?

Reyes did not even score. He was thrown out at home on the back end of a double steal. Where's your demoralizing three run homerun now? Would you take the harmless solo homerun instead?
