We're beginning to see what the scouts 'n touts saw in d'Arnaud for the last couple of years.

[Ceetar]

3 more outs. wouldn't mind an insurance run.

His shot was gone off the bat, high and far. Impressive.

[Frayed Knot]

There was virtually no sign of this kind of talent anywhere either last year after his call up or in the early parts of this season, but suddenly it's everywhere.
You've got to figure that all those repetitions he missed by being out the latter half of 2012 and the early part of 2013 stunted his progress a bit.

[Zvon]

Sitdown Freeman!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dare I say this team has ben a pleasure to watch these last 4 days and nights.

[Frayed Knot]

Maybe in a few minutes you can dare say that.

[Zvon]

Shit. They get the tying run to the plate. The Mets don't want me to be able to relax.

Dumbest thing I ever dared say. I take it back!

Oh boy. Good play Duda.

Are we even allowed to play sub 3 hour games these days?
2:23 of crispy goodness that one was.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Dynamic interview this Travis is. Must have learned from Duda.

[Zvon]

Travis already sounds more mature then in his last post interview. He sounded 14 yrs old then. Sounded more like 17 tonight. Our boy's growing up.

Time to settle in and watch the Cleveland Native Americans try to walk-off the Yanx
4-4 in bottom nine (how'd they get through 8-1/2 innings so quickly?)

None of the scrubs they're playing have any idea what's going on. just get up there and swing.

I'm looking for Edgy at the Nats game.

I hope you don't have an orange shirt on Ed. It's difficult enough.

Probably reading too much into it, but he certainly seems engaged and on top of his game more. On those two Heyward stolen bases, instead of him making that "I hope that doesn't cost us" face, it was more of a "It's on me to draw a line here" face.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

That HR was not screwing around. It was a ... home run.

His "thanks bro" farewell to back-up Guys! made me laugh.

It seems as if d'A goes to the mound as often as Y. Molina.

And if he can just up his trips to where he's making three or four more per inning than he is now he may have a shot at Posada's single-season mark, a record generally considered by baseball historians to be more unbreakable than DiMaggio's '56'
