Stats: 0-7, 173 LOB, Underachieving Baseball

by Matthew Cerrone on April 30th, 2009 at 10:38 am

MetsBlog reader Bobby K points out, again, the Mets are now 0–7 this season during the final game of a three-game series.

Similarly, the Mets had a lead in eight of their 12 losses.  Meaning, if they just split the difference, the team could be 13–8.  Ugh. 

Wait, there is more…

According to WFAN’s Boomer and Carton Show, the Mets have left 173 men on base in 23 games, or roughly seven per game.

Lastly, the following was sent to me by MetsBlog reader Derek R:

“In the 11–month span of games from June 2007 through today, the Mets are 151-141.  Take out a brief two month boost from new manager Jerry Manuel last season, and the Mets are 112-122.”

In other words, as Derek pointed out, that’s nine out of the last 11 baseball months the Mets have played ‘underachieving baseball.’
