Hitters

David Wright is on pace for 126 RBI, which would best Mike Piazza's franchise-best mark of 124 in 1999.
Carlos Beltran is on pace for 98 walks, which would be second all-time behind John Olerud's ridiculos 125-walk season of 1999.
Jose Reyes is on pace for 56 stolen bases, which would be sixth best all-time behind three Jose Reyeses and one Roger Cedeno.
Jose Reyes is on pace for 16 triples, which would be fourth best all-time behind Lance Johnson's 21 in 1996 and two previous incarnations of Jose Reyes.
Jose Reyes is on pace for 74 extra-base hits, which would be sixth all-time.
Carlos Beltran is on pace for 70 extra-base hits, which would be eighth all-time (he is tied for first with 80 in 2006).

Huh?

Oliver Perez is on pace for 10 hit batsmen, which would be the most all-time (Pedro Astacio, 16 in 2002).

The time has come for someone to put his foot down. And that foot is me.

Fixed

Should be 20. It’s always fun when the only comments are actually corrections.

Sorry... how's this?

If you are near any team record set in ‘62, it’s a real shitty sign.

Fielding

Any near-records regarding fielding? It feels like Delgado could be on pace to make an awful lot of errors, but that could just be my perception.

On the flip side...

Through the first half of the season, Beltran has one error, which strikes me as very good for a CF who covers as much ground as he does. (For comparison, last season he had five.) I can’t seem to find any sort of information relating to that, though.

Am I the only one who keeps reading “onpacefers” as “openfacers”?

Beltran

I wish he would trade a few of those walks for a few more bombs, but I doubt there’s much he can do about it. What pitcher in his right mind is going to throw Beltran anything in the strike zone with the AA lineup behind him?

Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!
