Washington protects their pitchers.
Peacock prospectors should take that into consideration.

Never reached 110.

He'll be held to a 160 innings limit.

The Mets were horrible
Glenn picked them
A commercial says the rarest play in baseball is the unassisted triple play
Don't believe it
There have been three unassisted triple plays during the last 20 years
They're not exciting either, usually a middle infielder catches a line drive with runners moving
The triple steal says 'big deal'
There have only been two during the last 30 years.
And, they're more exciting
I hope Adam Dunn isn't too bright
Adam Dunn hit .159
He may or may not be the first hitter to hit below his IQ
I don't think he is. If his IQ was that high, he wouldn't have hit .159
Dunn had 496 plate appearances
Go get your hot dog while he's up
He struck out 177 times, walked 75 times, and was hbp four times
52% at bats without a fair ball
Before last year, in seven straight seasons in the N.L., Dunn had hit at least 38 home runs
Last year, Dunn had 42 rbi
If Adam Dunn indeed has a high IQ, he'll request a trade to the N.L.
Adam Dunn just called
