factoring in a couple of days of rest, he could do it at home the following week when Philly is in town.

I'll be there if he does.

He also projects to have another four or five broken pinkies between now and the end of the season.


This is sorta factored into the projection. Wright's current pace (36 hits in 30 team games) accounts for him missing 10% of this season's games (3 out of 30) because of his pinky injury. A healthier Wright going forward projects to breaking Krane's record before 9/14/12. OTOH, Wright probably won't be hitting at a .375 clip all season long either.

Yeah, I think ceetar was the one not giving you credit for accounting for that. Grimmy was just having fun with that.

Indeed. I was just trying to look for a way for him to do it at home!

so I guess if broken pinkies is factored in we should look for him to break it earlier..they're home the series before that Brewer series.

OK, so maybe that's pushing it.


I would love to see a 12-hit game.

Plus four perfectly good hits by Reyes that do him no good in this thread.

Wright now needs less hits than games played to take this lead this season. the poetic way would be for that hit to be a walk-off NL East clinching hit.

I'm betting that you'll be happy to learn that Wright has one more hit than you gave him credit for.

David Wright is on pace to break Kranepool's franchise career hit record on Thursday, August 30, 2012, at Philadelphia. But if he keeps on playing and hitting at a .400 clip, he'll pass Eddie by the All-Star Break.

David Wright is so hot he gets extra hits in my sleep.

Happy he has the extra hit. Horrified it fell by the wayside by my reckoning somewhere between April 5 and now.

Now all he needs is a 7-hit game.
Hey, it's happened before.

found it. You only credited him with 1 hit in your update from through 4/20 in your next update through 4/25 he actually had a hit on 4/24 and 4/25.

Thanks for checking (and again to batmags for confirming something I kept meaning to look into because I had the feeling I wasn't on the nose). I went back and corrected his progress from then to now out of a combination of concern for the historical record and my own disgust for letting this slide. Can't blame the umps for this one.

Is it..tacky? of me to want the Mets to get involved in this in September if it's a near certainty he's going to pass it?

I know 1418 isn't all "OMG HALL OF FAME!" but can we an update on the scoreboard or (maybe fans with an updatable banner?) Kranepool throwing out a first pitch to Wright or something?

They made a middling deal of David passing Straw for the RBI record, so I assume they'll acknowledge it and then some, unless they're overly conscious of the cheap comparisons the Greek chorus in the media will make to the last guy in New York to set a franchise most-hits record.

Hopefully they'll really blow it out when he reaches 2,000 and, perhaps, 2,500 in a Mets uniform.

If the Mets trumpet it, they'll get ripped.

If the Mets don't trumpet it, they'll get ripped.

FrankieDude just blew the shutout. Need to get back to work.

With two more hits tonight, David Wright (.408) passes the Williams line, stretches out his lead in the race for the NL batting crown and is now on pace to break Ed Kranepool's franchise career hit record on Friday, August 24, 2012, at home against the Astros.

Maybe David was mad at Terry for costing him a chance to overtake Jose one or two at-bats sooner. As is, he has a pretty good chance to become the second Met in less than eight months to get his 1,300th hit against the Reds.
