If you asked me what the team’s #1 problems is, I would have guessed the inability to score runs. However, your numbers show that’s not the case. Last year, they scored 6+ runs in about 36% of their games, compared to 33% this year (a small dropoff). They scored 3-5 runs in 38% of their games both this year and last, and have scored 0-2 in slightly more games. However, last year they won 66% of the games in which they scored 3-5 runs, compared to only 25% this year. The difference is equal to 10 wins.
Thanks for commenting — isn’t it amazing how those things can change over the course of a year? Just seems like they’re not firing on any cylinders.
