Pete looking to become only the 12th Met in history to climb Mt. Kranepool.

Wow, I remember when Kranepool was at the top of the list.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Most wins by a Mets team after 43 games:



1986, 1972, 1988: 31

2007, 2022: 28

1971, 1985: 27

[Edgy MD]

We have a change in the homerun top 10, and Kingman is back in play.



It's kind of appropriate, as Kong used to pile up homers during west coast trips too.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Pete might just obliterate the Mets franchise HR record when he's done. The record's pretty paltry anyways ae the holder, Strawberry, was only an eight year Met.

[Frayed Knot]

Dabid was a sure bet too ... until he wasn't.

Exactly. That's precisely why I wrote "might" ---- with Wright in mind.

[Edgy MD]

We not only have an Mets all-time offensive record about to fall, we indeed have three guys jostling to be the first to break it.



In fact, considering that the guy who holds the record is a (so-far) lifetime Met out with an injury this year, it wouldn't be inaccurate to label the Cookie Club batch of Mets hitters "Generation Hit Batsman."

Funnus Facticus: Despite playing only 124 games with the Mets, Kevin Pillar managed to get hit by pitches 10 times — once really, really hard.

And he's still milking that one time for all it's worth: here's a sweet exchange he had recently with a kid

[Edgy MD]

My 11yr old son Cullen just got a 70mph fastball to the face yesterday and would love some words of encouragement ...

"Listen, kid — bones heal, chicks dig scars, pain is temporary, glory is forever."

[Frayed Knot]

What 11 year olds are throwing 70mph?!?

[Benjamin Grimm]

And do they really have a radar gun for games played by 11-year-olds? (That's not a rhetorical question. Do they? Maybe in some upscale leagues.)

[Edgy MD]

Checking out the account, he seems like an awful competitive dad, whose life seems to revolve around his kids' athletics.



Doesn't necessarily make him an asshole, but posting shots of my 11-year-old with blood all over his uniform top and pants wouldn't be an intuitive move for me.

[Edgy MD]

Brandon Nimmo moves within one of plunky-plunk immortality, while Jeff McNeil breaks a tie with plunky-plunk legend Ron Hunt, projecting into the top five by season's end.



Our top ten is all 21st Century Mets apart from number 10, Felix Millan.

IMPORTANT NOTICE



Joely Rodriguez just came in the game and allowed a run on the first pitch, as one of Hunter's leftover baserunners came in.



But this was a batter who had reached on an error, meaning T-Hunt is still clean on the ERA chart.

Well, Tommy Hunter reached an all-time best 13 innings of unblemished ERA-ness, but the damn team had to send him back out for a second inning, where he finally got touched for a Leody Taveras homerun.



The shame is compounded by Hunter having not only sported a perfect ERA, but a perfect (albeit 0-0) won/loss record and a perfect batting average of 1.000.



But all things must pass, and Dan Schatzeder and C.J. Nitkowski fans everywhere celebrate their idols' return to co-leader status in this all-important category of perfection. Another added benefit is that Hunter's elimination from this category restores Desi Relaford and Todd Frazier to top-ten status.



Looking forward to R.J. Alvarez joining this august company.

Brandon Nimmo is now the all-time Met bruisee, hit for the 51st time last night.

[Edgy MD]

We are very much in the Age of the Hit Batsmen, at least in Queens. Until quite recently, early Met Ron Hunt was the team's all-time leader, and he's now been passed by six 21st-Century men. Mark Cahna is in his first season and reduced to part-time work, but he's already passed longtimers like Wayne Garrett and Mike Cameron

And a few minutes after I finish my work and post that, McNeil gets drilled, passing David Wright.



Mercy.

Last night Pete Alonso tied a Mets record that I was unaware of. Most RBI in a season against a single opposing team:

MLB.com wrote: The 22 RBIs are not only the most by any player against a single opponent across the Majors this season, but they're also tied for the most by any Mets player against one opponent. Piazza had 22 against the Phillies in 2002 and Richie Hebner had 22 against the Cardinals in 1979.

Richie Hebner! Who would have thought?

How does deGrom project to just one more (rounded, no less) win, this season? How are you calculating this? You must be including the first three and a half months of the season that he missed to calculate deGrom's pace. But he's got three wins in five starts so far, this season. deGrom's looking like a lock to comfortably pass Matlack this season and to, perhaps, finish this season closer to Leiter than to Matlack.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, his pace is three wins in 126 games = 3.86 wins in 162 games.



Maybe not the most likely outcome, but far less absurd than projecting a guy who hits two homers in his team's first three games to finish with 108 homers. But the logic is the same either way.



It's what one might call an unsophisticated model, but that hopefully makes for exciting times if and when deGrom surpasses such cautious projections, hopefully sometime early next week.
