Terry Collins, by dipping his toes into his fifth season as Mets manager has moved ahead of Gil Hodges and into fourth place for number of Mets games managed: Davey Johnson 1012 Bobby Valentine 1003 Joe Torre 709 Terry Collins 656 Gil Hodges 649 Yogi Berra 588

Elster88 Apr 23 2015 09:07 PM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Familia is 8 for 8 in saves in the 13 wins. That's pretty amazin. 13 total for 20th all time, tied with LaTroy Hawkins and Doug Henry. Next up is Anthony Young (!!) with 18. 30 for the season would put him at 35 total good for 13th place. Parnell is 12th with 36. What happens when Parnell comes back anyway? It's a nice problem to have.

Daniel Murphy joins the 200 doubles club. As you can see below, he has a chance to leapfrog some serious names. Doubles in a Metly Career 1) David Wright: 375* Daniel Murphy projected to end of season: 232.63 2) Ed Kranepool: 225 3) José Reyes: 222 4) Howard Johnson: 214 5) Edgardo Alfonzo: 212 6) Carlos Beltran: 208 7) Daniel Murphy: 200 8) Mike Piazza: 193 =#FF8000]Daniel Murphy at start of season: 190 9) Darryl Strawberry: 187 10) Cleon Jones: 182 *In eight games before getting hurt, David Wright hit exactly 0 doubles, which means, based on his 2015 rate, he is expected to have a doubles-free year. Not very useful certainly, but he still has a chance to become the first Met with 400 doubles before the year is out.

Most wins by a Mets pitcher. Jon Niese has moved into a three-way tie for 12th place, with Rick Reed and Craig Swan. Strange to think that Steve Trachsel is in the top ten. Niese needs eight more wins to knock Trachsel into 11th place. [indent:16a66e88]... 1. Tom Seaver 198 2. Dwight Gooden 157 3. Jerry Koosman 140 4. Ron Darling 99 5. Sid Fernandez 98 6.

Mike Pelfrey 50[/indent:16a66e88] On the strikeout list, Niese started the season only 1 behind Bobby Jones. He has a long way to go to get to the next slot, but if he can pass Jon Matlack he'll be getting into pretty elite company. [indent:16a66e88]... 1. Tom Seaver 2541 2. Dwight Gooden 1875 3. Jerry Koosman 1799 4. Sid Fernandez 1449 5. David Cone 1172 6. Ron Darling 1148 7. Al Leiter 1106 8. Jon Matlack 1023 9. Jon Niese 804 10. Bobby Jones 714 11. Craig Swan 671 12. Tug McGraw 618 13. Johan Santana 607[/indent:16a66e88] Also, if he returns to the Mets next year, Niese has a change to move up a few notches on the Innings Pitched list: [indent:16a66e88]... 1. Tom Seaver 3045.2 2. Jerry Koosman 2544.2 3. Dwight Gooden 2169.2 4. Ron Darling 1620.0 5. Sid Fernandez 1584.2 6. Jon Matlack 1448.0 7. Al Leiter 1360.0 8. Craig Swan 1230.2 9. Bobby Jones 1215.2 10. David Cone 1209.1 11. Jon Niese 1027.0 12. Tom Glavine 1005.1[/indent:16a66e88] Meanwhile, it looks like Daniel Murphy, in what's likely his final season as a Met has a chance to move past Keith Hernandez in hits, but would need to return in 2016 (or go on a hell of a tear, which would be very welcome) in order to become the tenth Met to reach 1,000 hits. [indent:16a66e88]... 1. David Wright 1713 2. Ed Kranepool 1418 3. José Reyes 1300 4. Cleon Jones 1188 5. Edgardo Alfonzo 1136 6. Mookie Wilson 1112 7. Bud Harrelson 1029 8. Mike Piazza 1028 9. Darryl Strawberry 1025 10. Howard Johnson 997 11. Jerry Grote 994 12. Keith Hernandez 939 13. Daniel Murphy 920[/indent:16a66e88] Murphy needs only one more double to break his fifth-place tie with Edgardo Alfonzo, and three more to claim fourth place all to his own. Is second place in reach for him? Maybe... Meanwhile, David Wright looks like he'll be at the top of this list for quite a while. [indent:16a66e88]... 1. David Wright 375 2. Ed Kranepool 225 3. José Reyes 222 4. Howard Johnson 214 5. Daniel Murphy 212 5. Edgardo Alfonzo 212 7. Carlos Beltran 208 8. Mike Piazza 193 9. Darryl Strawberry 187 10. Cleon Jones 182[/indent:16a66e88]

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2015 07:27 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

As the CPF 'Rankings' list was starting to come together probably the biggest single complaint early on was that Steve Trachsel was too high (currently in 56th place). Yet there he is still Top-10 in wins despite being 13th in innings pitched and 14th in games started for a guy who pitched on mostly bad or mediocre teams. Not that I'm making a case for his greatness or anything but I always thought he got far too much abuse for his time in Queens.

Ceetar Aug 11 2015 08:04 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Trachsel went 15-8 with a 4.97 ERA in 2006. He then pulled a mini-Glavine and went Single, (pickoff, if only Glavine had had this..), Walk, Single, foul popout, triple, walk, walk, K. end of inning. Home run, walk, single (off his thigh, the 'reason' he came out), walk, lifted from Mets forever. Two more runs score on a Darren Oliver wild pitch and a groundout. 5 runs, the Mets don't score. He's up there with Wagner for reasons the Mets lost that series. If it wasn't for Beltran that might've put them down 3-0.

HahnSolo Aug 11 2015 08:12 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

And the Home Run was to the opposing pitcher.

Edgy MD Aug 11 2015 08:14 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Even with time lost due to injury, I like Muh's chances to jump from ninth to second in doubles in a single season.

Edgy MD wrote: Even with time lost due to injury, I like Muh's chances to jump from ninth to second in doubles in a single season. An interesting note I learned from an Effectively Wild podcast. Doubles are hard! Earl Webb's record 67 was set in 1931 and no one has really gotten close. Plenty of people have been on pace into the second half, but it just never seems to happen. Todd Helton's 59 in 2000 was the only time in nearly 80 years that someone has even gotten within 10 of breaking that record. Just a thought on the difficulty of hitting doubles throughout the season. Perhaps the warmer weather makes more doubles become home runs?

Frayed Knot Aug 11 2015 08:33 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

As if one single game was either the cause of, or the sole reason for, Mets fans dislike of Trachsel. Not suggesting that he should up there among the most popular, only that I've long thought the degree of hate was disproportionate to how he performed here.

He stuck around for a while and pitched games and accumulated stats. Mostly inconsequential, bad, and slow games. He got demoted somewhere in there for basically sucking had some decent success after, but I think he gets the right amount of appreciation.

HahnSolo Aug 11 2015 08:42 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Started out poorly with the team as I recall, then flamed out badly in the '06 postseason. Makes it easy for some fans to forget that he was largely dependable in between (especially for a guy brought in to be a lower part of the rotation pitcher). Don't discount that sometimes watching him pitch was painful. He made watching AL East games seem fast.

Edgy MD Aug 11 2015 09:12 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Folks were largely predisposed to feed him before he ever took the field. When he stumbled out of the gate, that just confirmed folks pre- established view. Lots of players like that.

Worth noting that we're already sitting on the saviest season by a home-grown Met, and possibly projecting toward the saviest season by a Met of any stripe. [list]Saves in a Season as a Metly, Metly Met Jeurys Familia (2015) Projected to End of Season: 43.62 1) Armando Benitez (2001): 43 2) Armando Benitez (2000): 41 3) Billy Wagner (2006): 40 4) John Franco (1998): 38 5) John Franco (1997): 36 T6) Francisco Rodriguez (2009): 35 T6) Jeurys Familia (2015): 35 8) Billy Wagner (2007): 34 T9) John Franco (1990): 33 T9) Armando Benitez (2002): 33[/list:u] The previous high in saves by a home-grown Met was Jesse Orosco — to the extent that you claim Orosco as home-grown — who had 31 with the 1984 Mets, while he was sharing closing duties with Doug Sisk. The previous high by a purely home-grown player was Jenrry Mejia's 28 last year. And that ain't looking so pure any more. Still, this team has hired mercenaries to finish their games for far too long.

Cubbage still has a chance to get out of that cellar. When I get grant to do baseball research, I'm going to study how the crediting of managerial wins and losses would be affected if you gave the occasional W's and L's to the guy who takes over when the manager has been ejected, or is absent due to illness or family or somesuch. Don Zimmer went 21–15 while managing the Yankees during Joe Torre's recuperation from cancer. This would put him over 900 wins for his managerial career, but these games are all instead marked on Joe Torre's record.

Bartolo Colon led the National League this year in hits allowed by a pitcher, with 217. He's only the second Met to lead in this category. (The other was Frank Viola, with 259, in 1991.)

Edgy MD Oct 05 2015 10:16 AM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

Had he got one more out, Colon would have had the second stingiest year with regard to walks of any Mets starter ever. The stingiest seems out of reach. [list]Walks/9 by Mets' Starters 1) Bret Saberhagen, 1994: 0.660 2) Bret Saberhagen, 1993: 1.098 3) Bartolo Colon, 2015: 1.110 4) Rick Reed, 2001: 1.136 5) Rick Reed, 1998: 1.229 6) Ed Lynch, 1985: 1.272 7) Bartolo Colon, 2014: 1.334 8) Rick Reed, 1997: 1.339 9) Eric Hillman, 1993: 1.490 10) Tom Seaver, 1968: 1.554[/list:u] And he led the league hands-down.

Except for Colon and Haren, those are all power pitchers. But walks per 9 is a traditionally a finesse pitcher category. This year in the NL, five of the top ten in walks per 9 were also in the top 10 in K's per 9. Ten years ago, there was only one pitcher on both lists (Pedro!). That used to be typical. Something's happened to the way this game is played.

I can't believe that we missed this, but on September 29, in Philadelphia, Lucas Duda became the 12th Mets player to reach 100 home runs. He's poised to move up another five notches next year, which will put him on the cusp of being in some pretty elite territory. [list:l04dn2nu]1. Darryl Strawberry 252 2. David Wright 235 3.

Edgy MD Oct 09 2015 01:12 PM Re: Where Mets Rank, 2015

The team's 51 stolen bases ranks but 46th of the 54 Mets teams in history. All the teams below them are from the pre-Torre era, with the exception of the 1994 Mets who were the least-stealingest Mets in history, with 25. The Mets 2015 stolen base leader is Curtis Granderson, with 11. The 1994 leader was John Cangelosi, with five. Roger Cendeño once stole four in a game for the Mets.

Terry moves ahead of Casey Stengel, Wes Westrum, Salty Parker, Roy McMillan, Joe Frazier, Joe Torre, George Bamburger, Frank Howard, Bud Harrelson, Mike Cubbage, Jeff Torborg, Dallas Green, Art Howe, and Jerry Manuel in post-season games won as a NYM manager.
