Except that House has put up good numbers taking Mead's place so far: .286 /  .286 / .429 / .714
True, but Crews took over a lot of Mead's at bats and struggled with RISP.

Much of that was against a couple of lefties back-to-back...he's .177/.217/.323/.540 this season in 130 AB's against righties...

seems as though the Nats are reverting to their old and tiresome ways, flailing at every pitch thrown even when it sails over their heads, bounces three times in the dirt before arriving within 150 feet of home plate or if they have to lean 3 feet over to the opposite batter'sbox to wave their bats at it, leaving everyone on base in the process and the manager mouthing platitudes at game's end while the owners figure out how to sell off anyone with minimal ablilities while telling the fans to have patience during some convoluted rebuild. Gosh, this looks and sounds familiar. The owners should just trade away the entire team for $11.49 and call up random fans from the dwindling attendance to fill in for the departing players. they could not do much worse.

we’re discussing the impact of the Mead trade or so I thought?

Which was why I qualified that much of his success was against a couple of lefties.  Looking for him to continue that against mostly righties is unrealistic.

That's so strange.  Vegas will be higher if they ever finish the stadium and anyone still remembers that the A's exist

>Be in contention for the wild card
>Trade the fourth best hitter in one of the league's best offense
>Get a player that won't be available till after the trade deadline, but you can still advertise as helping for the playoff push
>Lose a bunch of games without said player and are now sellers

Yeah... kinda feels a bit scripted.
Toboni was never interested in this season. It was obvious when he traded Gore.
