The Mets have just wrapped up their first series of the 2008 season and there are some interesting numbers, which mostly mean nothing but are always fun to extrapolate out for the whole season.
As Seasons go, at this time:
2008: 2-1
2007: 3-0
2006: 2-1
2005: 0-3
Its hard to believe that only 4 seasons ago, the Mets started 0-5, where on the sixth game, Pedro threw an absolute Gem against the Braves. Also during that series, Jorge Sosa shut down the Mets on one of those loss nights.
Some season stats so far:
Wright 13 AB, 3 R, 6 H, 3 2B, HR, 6 RBI, 2 BB, .533 OBP, .923 SLG, .462 BA
On pace for 324 RBI's…
Pagan 10 AB, 4 H, 4 R, 2 2B, 4 RBI, 3 BB, .400 BA, .500 OBP
Some team stats:
As a team., 27 strikeouts, or average about 9 per game. Which would be 1458 for the season if the Mets could keep that up.
Team ERA of 2.33
11 Doubles as a team (although it should be 10 doubles and 3 homeruns for a team) (5 doubles from Beltran)
On that note, the umping was particularly bad this series. There were several plays by Reyes and others who looked like clear stolen bases, that they were called out on. There was also that play by Castillo last night where it was a tie to the bag but he was called out. And thats on top of the major call with the homerun to Beltran.
The only really surprising stat so far is that the team only has 2 stolen bases so far, from Beltran and Castillo.
