June 23, 200521 yr If the Marlins score holds up vs. the Braves tonight....The Fish will fall to 2-22 in games where they have scored 2 runs or less ....both of those wins were by D-Train...2-1 over Phillies and Rockies :thumbdown And it might not be a great stat, but it shows that this offense that is suppose to be going through the roof.....is doing nothing but SUCKING A!!
June 23, 200521 yr First, if it's where they've scored less than 2 runs then we can't win 2-1. So you made a mistake. It's probably 2 runs or less. Secondly, DUH. Of corase were not going to win a lot of games when we score 2 runs or less. Every team has a bad record when we score 2 runs or less. I know stats, and THAT is not a good stat, sorry.
June 23, 200521 yr Marlins makes a good point (for once). 821555[/snapback] :lol It was a mistake!!! I promise!!!
June 23, 200521 yr Author There is no doubt that Marlins is making a good point...but I made that point to show that this offense as good as it should be should not have scored only 2 or less runs in 24 games this season out of 68 (I think)

The Braves announcers made a good point tonight. The Marlins are considered to have among the best hitting players for each position, yet they fail to perform. 821583[/snapback] Again, they're not maximizing their abilities. That's the problem.

I even expand it to 3 runs or less because it's very hard to win scoring 3 runs. The average team ERA is around 4.3 or so, so you should lose a lot of those games. I was wondering if anyone knows where to find data about how many times teams across the league score either 2 runs or less or 3 or less. (I wouldn't want to go through every team by hand.) I wonder how 24 out of 68 compares to the rest of the league. (I would guess not to favorably though.)
June 23, 200521 yr Just the idea that we score 2 runs or less in 35% of our games is depressing enough. :confused
June 23, 200521 yr We have scored 3 runs or less in 28 games (40%) and have only won 2 of those games....again both were Dontrelle's wins.
June 23, 200521 yr Actually 25 now. 25 out of 68 games with 2 runs or less. Shutouts: 6 1 run: 9 2 runs: 10 THIS is the disturbing stat. Not that we're 2-23 in those games. It's that we don't score runs in such a large % of games. That's over a THIRD of your games where you're not even giving yourself a remote chance to win. If you want to look at it on the bright side, when this team manages to scrap out at least 3 runs, their record is 32-11. :confused
