BAB's MLB Trivia time

• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  I was inspired by Ironman's trivia question last week, and I was checking out a certain player's stats today and thought it would make an interesting trivia question:
  
  What player has double-digit Home Run AND Stolen Base totals this season, yet has played in a whopping 30 games in which he has gone hitless (with at least 1 AB in each game)?
• Laley23

  

  First name to mind is Drew Stubbs.
• Laley23

  

  Stubbs works, so I am not checking anyone who qualifies on the HR and SB criteria.
  
  Chris Young also fits the bill.
• Laley23

  

  Matt Kemp has 27 hitless games. Very close.
• Laley23

  

  If I counted correctly, Pujols has 28 hitless games.
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Stubbs wasn't who I was thinking of, but if he works, great guess! (Ironman is better at research than I am haha).
  
  Still looking for the guy I had in mind ...
• Laley23

  

  Mr. Justin Upton, victim number 3. I got one more in me before I quit counting lol.
• Laley23

  

  Im guessing Ryan Braun. I didnt do any AL guess since you said the 1 AB thing....figured it had to be NL. But the AL might have one as well, since the NL now has 4!
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  haha, my question sucked! I thought this guy was unique, I was wrong, my bad! Wasn't thinking of Upton either ...
• BigAppleBuckeye

  

  Because of the flawed question, I will divulge the answer: Shane Victorino ...

  It wouldve been unique if the criteria was 45. I think that was the number of hitless games I had for Stubbs!!! The other were all in the 30s and Braun at 30.

  I have Victorino in fantasy, and it seems like he always goes 0-for-5, so I checked his stats out. Wow, that Stubbs stat is just comical, wow ...

  I figured Stubbs since all the complaining from Reds fans. I have Upton so I thought for sure hed be in there. I was surprised it wasnt more actually. He was terrible, but Im finally reaping the rewards of not letting him go the last month or so.
  
  I also knew Chris Young went hitless a ton from following the DBacks (For Upton and Kelly Johnson on my fantasy).
  
  I never wouldve guessed Victorino though.

  This seems to be a typical week for Stubbs:
  0-4
  0-4
  3-5, 2HR
  2-5
  0-4
  1-4
• Ironman92

  

  These aren't easy to do are they? lol
• Ironman92

  

  My first guess (knowing he still had 9 SB) was Andruw Jones who has just a .203 avg...he's had 35 0-fer games
• Ironman92

  

  and 100 games in I'd guess about all players 10-10 are close to 30 o-fer games unless they are batting .315 or so
  
  The better question might be who is 10-10 and has the fewest o-fer games
• Nate

  My initial guess after reading the question was Drew Stubbs also. LoL
