It’s a little soon for a full-fledged don’t-overreact-to-what’s-happened-so-far-because-it’s-still-early post, but firing off a round of the On-Pace Game should carry a similar, yet more light-hearted, lesson.
Player X is On-Pace For a Ridiculous Number of Things!
- Ramon Hernandez is on-pace for 405 hits.
- Derrick Turnbow is on-pace for 162 saves.
- Bill Mueller is on-pace for 270 RBI.
- Grady Sizemore is on-pace for 810 at-bats and zero runs scored.
- There are 31 players, including Skip Schumaker, on-pace to break Bonds’ single-season SLG record of .864.
- Adam Dunn is hitting .571 and on-pace for only 81 strikeouts.
- Adam LaRoche is on-pace to strike out 378 times.
- Carlos Beltran is on-pace to see 4050 pitches.
- Seth McClung is on-pace to walk 245 batters in 95 innings.
- Barry Zito is on-pace to give up 245 runs in 47 innings.
- Jeff Kent is on-pace to be hit by a pitch 108 times.
- Paul Konerko and Sean Casey are both on-pace to ground into 162 double plays.
- Albert Pujols is on-pace to hit 162 HRs, and that just might be the most believable stat of all…
- Except that the Royals are on-pace to be outscored by 1053 runs.
