Citi Field Power Surge 2015

[Edgy MD]

Amazing to hear Ronnie state right out that Syndergaard is good enough to consider the Mets' bench one player deeper. That's a big declaration (it would be the first time in team history) based on such a short ML track record for the guy.

[G-Fafif]

Granderson has pulled ahead of Bay for sole possession of ninth place, a very 1968 kind of thing to do.

Duda is within four of Wright for the lead.

[Gwreck]

Only one to go for Wilmer to knock Jason Bay out of the top ten.

Indeed! The tie for tenth pushes Bay to the edge of Francoeurian extinction (except he actually existed as a Met and still technically exists as a person).

[G-Fafif]

The new Top 10...

Wright 46
Duda 42
Davis 30
Murphy 21
Pagan 15
Beltran 14
Hairston 13
Reyes 13
Flores 11
Granderson 11

Jason "Bye-Bye" Bay falls out of the Top 10. Any home runs Jose Reyes hits in the Blue Jays' visit this week will not count toward this total (but might elicit at least one round of applause from certain quarters).

John Mayberry became the 61st Met to hit at least one home run as a Met at Citi Field last night, the 20th with exactly one home run.

[Edgy MD]

Looking forward to a point early next year when Cuddyer and d'Arnaud and Tejada and Herrera and maybe Campbell or Ceciliani or somebody conspire to make it an all-nominally-active-on-the-Mets top ten.

[Edgy MD]

Granderson takes sole possession of ninth place.

[G-Fafif]

A brand new Top 10 has emerged.

1. Wright 46
2. Duda 44
3. Davis 30
4. Murphy 22
5. Pagan 15
6. Beltran 14
7. Granderson 13
7. Hairston 13
7. Reyes 13
10. Nieuwenhuis 11
10. Flores 11

[G-Fafif]

After a little double-checking and recalculating, all hail the new Home Run King of Citi Field.


Duda 48
Wright 46
Davis 30
Murphy 24
Pagan 15
Beltran 14
Granderson 13
Hairston 13
Reyes 13
Nieuwenhuis 11
Flores 11

Not sure where I missed two of Duda's and one of Murphy's, but I did. Here, with confirmation, are the new standings, including Lucas Duda's ascension past David Wright for No. 1. A celebratory moment for the quiet man, kind of a sad milestone for the absent captain.

Also, Kelly Johnson gets on the board, joining six 2015 Mets with exactly one Citi Field home run (Harvey, Ceciliani, Mayberry, Syndergaard, Plawecki are the others).

However temporarily, Johnson also becomes the 76th Met with exactly one Met home run.

[Edgy MD]

That calls for some hailing. I like how he hit a second, just to clear up any ambiguity that missed homer may have caused.

[Ceetar]

Peeking at this list:

64 Mets have homered at Citi Field. d'Arnaud with 9 is looking to join the top 10.

[G-Fafif]

Wright shows his face and Duda extends his lead, 49-46.

Granderson leaves seventh-place tie with Reyes and Hairston behind and moved into sixth-place tie with Beltran. One more for a fifth-place tie with Pagan.

[Ceetar]

Duda's hitting this thread so hard there's talk of brown outs in the whole forum.

Conforto 1

By joining the Citi Field Power Surge, Conforto (not surprisingly) exits Club Hessman, a.k.a. the group of Mets who hit only one home run as Mets. Eight such Mets hit their lone Met homer at Citi Field; four of them are pitchers; three of them aren't necessarily done homering as Mets:

Johan Santana 7/6/10
Val Pascucci 9/24/11 (D)
Jeremy Hefner 5/29/12
Bobby Abreu 4/26/14
Taylor Teagarden 6/10/14
Noah Syndergaard 5/27/15
Darrell Ceciliani 6/14/15
Matt Harvey 7/11/15

Last Met whose only Met HR came at Shea Stadium was Robinson Cancel.

[G-Fafif]

Yoenis Cespedes's third Citi Field HR as a Met pushed him into a seven-way tie for 27th place on the all-time Citi Field Power Surge list. By belting No. 3, he grabbed a spot alongside Josh Satin, Ronny Cede�o, Josh Thole, Jason Pridie, Brian Schneider and Carlos Delgado.

[Edgy MD]

I like that this thread started with some irony in the title and now is fully in earnest.

Murphy, should he be heading out via free agency, has 13 home games to catch Ike Davis (who he has now preceded and succeeded at first).

(Do we count post-season homers? It's never come up!)

Maybe a touch, but I figured with the walls pulled in, the balls would start flying (that's what she said).

Now that would be a surge.

(Do we count post-season homers? It's never come up!)

I think I'd prefer separate Citi Field All-Time Postseason Home Run Leadership totals be kept. I've been rubbed the wrong way by smashing together regular and post since the MFYs claimed a 125-win 1998.

Plus what a fun list it will be to start and add to!

[batmagadanleadoff]

I'm not gonna look this up, but if i hadda bet on it, I'd bet that Cespedes needed the least AB's to reach three Mets Citi Field HR's.
