I just saw the news of the children murdered in Texas and feel sick to my stomach. People get really upset if I get “political” on twitter so I will do it here today – sorry that I am against mass murder of kids. Maybe, unlike Sandy Hook, this time Congress will do something.
The Mets are tied for the major league lead with 29 wins…The Mets are seeking to become the first team in MLB with 30 wins…It would mark the second time in franchise history that the team was first to 30 wins…The 1988 Mets recorded their 30th win on May 22…The Mets were the first team in the majors to both 10 and 20 wins…Prior to this year, the Mets have been the first team to both 10 and 20 wins just once before, doing so in 1976…If the Mets win tonight, the Mets would be the first team to 10, 20 and 30 wins for the first time in franchise history…It would be the first occurrence in the major leagues since the 2016 Cubs accomplished that feat.
New York is 16-7 on the road this year…Their .696 road winning percentage is the third-best in the majors and is the second-best in the NL…The Mets did not record their 16th win on the road until June 19 in 2021 in their 36th road game (16-20)…New York is batting .261/.333/.392 away from Citi Field…Their .261 average ranks third in the majors, while their .333 OBP ranks fourth.
Pete Alonso’s 72nd best WAR of 1.2 proves that he is Kevin Kiermaier levels of good! Fortunately, WAR only was important when Daniel Murphy was here and now everyone ignores it and is back to just looking at AVG HR and RBI.
(Or did you guys stop doing WAR once Daniel Murphy left town because it used to be REALLY IMPORTANT ON METS TWITTER) https://twitter.com/Mets/status/1529167528651628552
Whatever, doesn’t this all seem stupid in light of the news?
