The other guys have scored 555 runs so 40% of their runs come from home runs.

This series was all about homers. In this series 9 of the Mets 15 runs came via the home run, 60%. The Nationals got 10 of their 16 from homers, (62.5%). The two teams hit just 6 doubles and only one of the players who hit them scored. I’ve been keeping track of this since August 1st and 15 of 40 players who have hit doubles scored. I’m trying to compare the impact of doubles vs. home runs. The Mets have driven in 82 runs with doubles. They’ve hit 176 home runs, which mean’s they’ve driven in 88 other players with them. The opposition has hit 150 home runs and driven in 72 teammates with them. I had surmised that most players who hit doubles wind up scoring: so far the evidence does not support that conclusion.  So home runs doe produce more runs than doubles but it’s because the guy hitting them scores, not because they drive in more teammates.
