The Mets have now played through four series with a record of 5-6. For what its worth, I believe the Mets had a lot of problems last year winning on the weekends, especially day games on the weekends, and the past two weekends, the Mets have not won on Saturday and Sunday. Anyway, a few quick comments on today's game. The double plays is what killed the Mets. They hit into 4 today, which killed rallies left and right.
Another quick note, before getting to the point of this post, have you ever “watched” a game using MLB Gameday? Give it a try next time you watch a game. Set it by your TV set and follow along. Not only do you get stat updates, but you can see pitching tendencies against pitchers. For example, in Schnieder's third hit today, they threw him 6 fastballs, and the 7th he hit as a single. Its interesting to watch and you learn indirectly about scouting.
Anyway here are some Mets numbers through the first four series this seasons:
The Mets scored 58 runs.
The Mets have allowed 47 runs.
The Mets on average score 5.27 runs.
The Mets on average allow 4.27 runs.
The Mets have struck out 79 batters so far. Thats an average of 7.18 a game.
The Mets, before this series, had 3 SB. In the last three games, they stole 4. Now they have 7 on the season, .63 a game.
