Fun with baseball trends

As of Tuesday night …

*** 1B Ryan Howard is on pace to drive in 254 runs this year (11 RBI in 7 games) which would shatter the MLB record of 180 RBI in a season.

*** 3B Placido Polanco is on pace to score 231 runs this year (10 runs in 7 games) which would shatter the MLB record of 192 runs in a season.

*** As a team the Phils are on pace to score 1,157 runs this year (50 runs in 7 games). Astoundingly, that would not be a record – The 1894 Boston Beaneaters (real name, not made up) scored 1,220 runs in just 122 games, an amazing 10-runs-per-game average.

*** P J.A. Happ is on pace to win 32 games and not allow a run this season (1 win and 0 earned runs in one start) which would shatter the previous lowest ERA in MLB history, 0.86 (among starters).

*** P Roy Halladay is on pace to win 32 games and strike out 280 batters (2 wins and 17 Ks in two starts) but to lose the Cy Young award to J.A. Happ.

*** The Phillies are on pace to compile a 138-24 record this season, which would shatter the MLB record of 116 wins in a single season.

*** Backup C Brian Schneider is on pace to go hitless for the entire season (0 hits in 6 at bats). He kinda stinks.
