A Reyes Affair

Another awesome start by Mike Pelfrey. Five strikeouts (two of Albert Pujols) and no walks. His 6-to-9 groundball-to-flyball ratio is a little perplexing, but everything else was primo. Carlos Delgado continues his tear, and Argenis Reyes showing Jose how it's done.

Big winners: Mike Pelfrey, +28.9% WPA, Jose Reyes, +12.4% WPA
Big losers: Carlos Beltran, -7.5% WPA, Duaner Sanchez, -3.2% WPA

Good God Lou

You had almost 3 times as many posts as Ian? Is that a typo?

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

I was working

Or I would have contributed my normal 3-5 comments.

hey, they finally won when I watched

OK, so I hit the mute button and closed my eyes for a bit in the 9th inning, but I saw the rest of the game (and I saw Pujols ground out to end it). So they’re now 1-3 since the break when I watch, and 4-0 when I don’t. Hopefully, it will be 2-3 after tonight, as I’ll be at Shea (and hopefully they’ll improve to 3-3 when I’m in attendance at Shea).

Vote change: DePodesta/Acta in 2009!!!

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
