The other guys have scored 518 runs so 39% of their runs come from home runs.

The Mets out-scored the Sox, 13-4. They scored just 4 runs off of homers, 31%. Amazingly they scored 3 runs on outs and 2 on errors, in addition to two on singles and one on a triple. They gave up only a single home run to the Whites Sox with no one on base, which was 25% of their scoring.

I’ve decided to look at another stat in the last two months of the season: I’ve always thought that doubles were nearly as important as home runs because (1) they almost always clear the bases and (2) the guy who hits the double is in ‘scoring position’ and probably scores more often than not after hitting the double. The above stats suggest doubles and home runs are not that comparable. As of August 1st, the Mets have scored 72 runs off of doubles and 231 off of homers. The opposition has scored 94 runs off doubles and 204 off of homers.  But the Mets have hit 153 home runs, which means that their homers have driven in 78 teammates, virtually the same number as their doubles. The opposition has hit 139 home runs, meaning their homers have driven in 65 teammates, significantly fewer than their doubles have driven in. the missing stat, of course is : how often to players who hit doubles score? In this series, the Mets hit 3 doubles and one of the players who hit them scored. The White Sox doubled twice and neither player scored. That’s a small sample but lets see what the numbers look like as it grows.
