David vs. the Krane

[Edgy MD]

On a pace to do it on the 18th of September at home against the Phillies.

A lot of chances to do it at home coming up with only three road games (Milwaukee, 9/14-16) between the seventh and the 27th. (And let's not pull a Jeter and feign injury if it looks like it's going to land then.)

How aware is everybody of this impending broken record? I know that we've been following it here for a long time, but is Mets fandom at large as engaged in this as we are? I'm not getting that sense, but I could very well be out of step.

[Frayed Knot]

Until G, K & R start to mention on a regular basis once the gap gets down to say single digits, I doubt most of even Met-dom is much aware of this (let's face it, none too impressive) record.

Congratulations to David on reaching another pre-Krane milestone with hit No. 1,391, his 200th HR. And sorry that hit No. 1,392 led to getting thrown out at second. The bitter with the sweet with the more bitter, as they say in the second half of 2012.

He's not exactly hitting the cover off the ball lately, but he is managing to maintain a fairly steady 10 day games/hits gap.

I believe David's pace has pushed the theoretical record breaking hit into the last home series vs. Pittsburgh.

In reaching the unmagical 1,400-hit milestone, David extended his second-place lead over Jose Reyes to 100 (now 101).

FYI, if Jose was having the same season for the Mets that he's had for the Marlins, the current Met hit record would be 1,452. But that doesn't take into account all the variables, like lineup, ballpark, game situations, the pressure of theoretically signing for a big contract in New York and, most tangibly, the lengths Ed Kranepool would have gone to take Jose out.

In David's past 26 games, when it seems he's done next to nothing, he's actually collected 26 hits (batting .271), so at that one game/one hit pace, figure him for Monday night, 9/24, home to Pittsburgh. OTOH, he had a 26-game stretch in April and May when he garnered 40 hits, a pace that if he picked up again all of a sudden would get him to his necessary 17th hit about a week earlier.

Or we could just wait and see what happens.

Or we could just wait and see what happens.

There sure are a lotta ways to estimate the date of Wright's impending franchise record breaking hit. Here's the formula I've been using all along in this thread:

171x/y = z

z = Mets game # of record breaking hit (remainders always rounded up, never down);
171 = total hits Wright needed to pass Krane at beginning of season;
x = Mets games played to date;
y = Wright's season hit total, to date.



Thus calculated, Wright is on pace to pass Eddie in the Mets 152nd game, at home against the Marlins on Sunday, September 23, 2012. But as you implied, he'll pass Eddie when he passes Eddie.

It seems like he's done next to nothing because every single hit during that span has been a single and has come with the bases empty.
OK that may not be 100% accurate but I'm betting that it's purdy dern close

in part because Tejada has also slowed down in front of him. That's why he only has 7 RBI in the last 28 games (B-R split, I don't feel like counting to 26) but 12 runs scored. (Thanks Ike) He's been on base 34 times though. 5 doubles, 1 HR, 10 walks.

Dr. J was a much better basketball player than he was an actor.

He was also a better Net than Sixer.

Watch David miss and get traded..Kranevoodoo
