For the Mets "batting title" I had to extend to an additional decimal place. Cabrera's batting average was .2802 and Cesepdes' was .2797.

Wow, Verrett's walks are eye-popping considering how few games he started.

[seawolf17]

Stolen Bases: Reyes 9

Boy oh boy, if I could go back in time to April and wager on that.

Walks: Verrett, Syndergaard 43

And that seems exceptionally low -- and sure enough, our 439 team walks was the best in the majors (tied with the Giants, interestingly enough). Wonder what the MLB record is for least walks in a season for an entire staff.

1918 - NYG - 238 (shorter season)

1933 - CIN - 258 (played 152)

1919 - PIT - 263 (shorter)

81 Mon/KCR (strike)

1968 - SFG - 344 seems to be the 162 record.



Mets in 94, 81, STRIKES

Mets best season was last season actually, 383. This year is 9th, excluding those strike years.



that '33 Reds team has the record for BB/9 with 1.72. '68 Giants have the 162 record at 2.108 followed by '05 Twins and '14 Nats.

Did anyone think back in April that Harvey would lead the team in losses?

he notoriously gets poor run support, so sure. But I would've picked Colon probably.

How about that?
Thanks for putting this together . Looking at it I'm now thinking I favor a split MVP.

This separate roster stuff in interesting. So is the WC an extra regular season game or the 1st game of the post season?

[MFS62]

Looking at the offensive numbers leads me to ask, "Should Familia receive serious consideration for MVP?"

The precedent is closer Willie Hernandez who won both the CY Young and MVP awards for the Tigers in the same year.

Yes, it's a postseason game. Did you somehow miss all the excitement about the Mets being in the postseason?

lol, no, not at all. I've slapped the logo on everything since Loney went yard. I'm just easily confused. This separate roster thing, I don't understand why that is.

Like the ads on unis, I envision a future where baseball has less season games (154 again? Probably at first, and eventually lower) & more playoff games/tiers.

I think: yes.

3-way split!

I don't think Familia was even the best reliever on the Mets this year.

ooooo, Reed.

4-WAY!

Dennis Eckerlsey did that too.

The problem is that both were poor choices for the MVP (and, for Eckersley, also the Cy Young Award) in those years.

[Edgy MD]

42 stolen bases on the entire year after 51 the year before.

Say what you want about Terry's bullpen usage, but this kind of balance is hard to achieve, even on purpose:

Relief Innings, 2016 Mets

T1. Jeurys Familia: 77.2
T1. Addison Reed: 77.2
T1. Hansel Robles: 77.2
4. Antonio Bastardo: 43.2
5. Jerry Blevins: 42.0
6. Erik Goeddel: 35.2
7. Jim Henderson: 35.0
8. Logan Verrett: 31.2
9. Fernando Salas: 17.1
10. Sean Gilmartin: 17.0

[MFS62]

What would Salas' innings have been if extrapolated over a full season with the Mets? I think he was here one month.
17 X 6 is 102. Would Terry have used him that much? Whose innings would he have replaced?

he can start by taking all of Bastardo's innings
