u'Nstoppable

Travis d'Arnaud since his demotion:

G: 11
PA: 47
BA: .432
OBP: .479
SLG: .977
OpS: 1.456

HR: 6
RBI: 15
BB: 3
SO: 3

I'm not greedy. I'd be happy with six homers and 15 RBI in his 39 games with the Mets this year.

I will point out the obvious that there is a big difference between NY and Vegas.

Only solution that I see is that we need more strippers here in NY.

but it's a dry homer, so you don't feel it as much.

I think there are a fair amount of strippers. Now hookers? Casinos? (7 more years) Hash House A GoGos?



electric chairs?



Michael Jackson impersonators on the stage in front of the Blackjack table?

I'll be the first to admit that Vegas stats, like casino chips, are sadly redeemable for absolutely nothing if you try to cash them in in New York, but, also stating the obvious, reading about Travis on a roll sure beats reading about him crapping out.

Didn't Ike tear it up when he was sent down last season?

Yeah. although I think it took him a couple of days to get started.

He also was very good upon his promotion after that too, although struggled with power, though supposedly he had an oblique injury that whole time.

Ike tore it up when he came back up, too. It just wasn't so memorable, because most of his tearing came in the form of ObP, rather than long-range bombs. He went .286 / .449 / .505 // .954 in 40 games before getting hurt at the end of August.

He led the league in second-half OBP, for what that's worth.

Then I wish the same for Travis!

I mean, it's Vegas. But it's also not entirely Vegas.

Hell, if he just ripped up the AAAA types while playing defense, that would be workable on this team.

Teagarden looked very d'Arnaudish hitting a slow grounder to first base with 2nd and 3rd and 1 out last night, I'll tellya.

Re: u'Nstoppable

I'm telling you, it wouldn't cost nuttin' to get his brother on the payroll. We probably could have asked him to be thrown in on the Byrd/Buck or Davis deals, and Pittsburgh would have scarcely blinked. Maybe we'd have to give up Quintanilla (or less), but I've got imaginary piles of fake research here demonstrating that having a brother on the team takes the pressure off, and makes it feel like Little League all over again.

I guess it depends which brother

I don't think Mike Glavine helped Tom much.

Re: u'Nstoppable

d'Arnaud activated and in the lineup. Teagarden to the DL with a hamstrain. If you had that outcome in Transaction Bingo, please step forward and collect your prize.
