Stats I'd like to see

I've seemingly noticed that too. Johan used to (and probably still does, to a lesser extent) excel at this. Dickey's also very very good at it, but that's partially the nature of the knucklerball to put guys on and then get out of it.

Could we boil it down to pressure/pressing, or is that too esoteric? Pelfrey went through the first half of the season without allowing an unearned run, and now suddenly the defense has come apart.

That stuff is findable - at least sort of.
BB-Ref under the Mets 2010 page, then under 'Pitching', and then under 'Splits' (scroll down to see 'Number of Outs per Inning'
-- http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/split.cgi?t=p&team=NYM&year=2010

And indeed the Mets are giving up more 2-out runs than in 1-run or no-run situations.
0 outs = 91 RA; 1 outs = 177 RA; 2 outs = 197

Problem is you'd then have to look up the same with every other team (or at least the league as a whole) to see whether that's unusual or not.
I suspect more runs in general are given up with 1 or 2 outs than with none just based on the idea that runs are scored more often as inning moves further along.
I remember looking this up a few years back (2008 maybe) and the Mets that year were MUCH worse at coughing up 2-out runs.

NYM 2010 Runs Allowed:
0 outs = 19.57 %
1 outs = 38.06 %
2 outs = 42.37 %

NL 2010 Runs Allowed:
0 outs = 23.13 %
1 outs = 38.82 %
2 outs = 38.05 %



So that's somewhat skewed against our staff's "clutchness", although not nearly as lopsided as what I remember from the time I did this a couple seasons back.

Well, I was asking not just about 2-out runs, but runs surrendered after 2 outs and nobody on base.

You'd figure the teams that surrender the most HRs would be most vulnerable to this -- but the Mets aren't that kinda staff and I'd guess they're still near the top.

Stats I'd like to see? An occassional Mets victory would be nice, a modest 3 game win streak would be greatly appreciated.
