But yes, ill-drawn findings do sound bad.

You did fine, you even concluded w/ your personal interpretation.

I’m not much of an obscure numbers person, but it’s obvious that the entire team is going opposite field. The power will come around, it always does.

I still hate slow news days, probably almost as much as you guys do. After all it’s your livelyhood.

Maybe more people would’ve clicked the link if I said, “BREAKING NEWS: METS SUCK AT CITI,” but since that’s not what’s actually true — despite what you may have read — that’s not what I’d publish.

I noticed something I thought was interesting and I investigated further. I didn’t want to falsely represent it as anything more than that here.

Thanks for this insightful info BPHelp.

Basically all I got from that is that we…, you know I didn’t get that @ all.

Never mind, I don’t want to know.

The Mets are fourth in the div and are 1/2 dozen games back, and they aren’t hitting home runs or scoring very often.

Our OPS+ with RISP and 2 outs is just 86, meaning we’re well below league average as a team. That’s despite the fact that our OPS+ with RISP overall is 109, which is above average. And our OPS+ with 2 outs overall is 104, which is just above league average. Makes me wonder why that doesn’t translate to that very important RISP w/2 outs situation.

The Mets have a solid LD% (10th in baseball at 19.2%), but our OPS+ on line drives is just 84, well below average. It’s not like you can say we’re unlucky because our BABIP is 8th overall.

The scariest stat is that we’re dead last in all of baseball in HR/FB ratio. Just 6.3% of our fly balls go over the fence. The Phils, for example, hit 12.9% of their fly balls over the fence. And before anyone yells “ballpark,” I’d like you to explain to me why the Mets have hit more HRs at home (28-24) and why the Phils have hit about the same HRs on the road as at home (62-60).

Plate discipline doesn’t seem to be the problem. The Mets swing at the third fewest percentage of pitches outside the zone… and the Mets have the highest contact percentage of any team in baseball.

This offense just doesn’t seem to be very good. Beltran, Delgado and Reyes can’t get back soon enough!

We all have too much time on our hands and start looking to entertain ourselves by digging into the nooks and crannys of our bellybuttons.

I do feel that the team is going the other way alot, but that would be a good thing if we had someone who can clear the tablesetters. Lots of blops, but no blasts.
