 The Johann could have...should have...would have thread
First let me point out that this could have been in any of quite a few of threads already out but I thought these stats deserved a thread and comments of their own..
I believe Santana has done his job. Mets offense has not supported him... do you realize that with a few more runs he could be the leader in wins and 3-4 losses?
I know...should have....could have...would have... I know the ace should do this and that. I know that Carlton won 27 games with a team that won only 50+ games in the year while finishing in last place BUT... in reality, this is what "could have been" had the Mets supported his pitching with some offense...
In conclusion, for the pitching staff to look better, the Mets need a CLEAN-UP hitter. Mets need some runs!

Even in the games lost, if the Mets had gotten into an "offensive explosion" of 4 runs, that would mean 2 less losses and I believe 1 or 2 more wins (or at least no decisions instead of losses)
Yes he is the ace but he hasn't been as bad as we make it to be.
Would you be happy with 12 wins and 5 losses in the worst case scenario of the above stated probablities?
