Sox are 39-10 when they score 4 or more, 4-25 when they don't

[Maxbialystock]

Yes, still still tied for first in the AL, but, more realistically, 1 of 12 AL teams with a shot at the playoffs. Only Houston is in the cat bird seat. Everyone else has hopes and concerns, and the Sox are no exception.

 

I believe this is the first Sox team in the John Henry era with such weak hitting and such reliance on the pitching, especially the bullpen.

Ok?

It's an interesting stat to a point, but how does it compare with other teams? I'd imagine most teams have pretty good records when they score 4+ runs and pretty bad ones when they don't.

I believe the Seattle Mariners are 36-12 when they score four or more runs but 3-28 when they don't:

Oh s***, the Sox are turning into the Mariners. FML.

In the sizable sample since the Red Sox won the 2013 World Series, the Mariners have a cumulative record of 288-277 while the Sox have a record of 285-278 (excluding the three postseason losses in 2016).

Harmony, do you live in Boston and are a Seattle fan or do you just have an affinity for posting here?

 

I know a few other Seattle fans who live in the area.

I am a Mariner fan living in Oregon but I study the Red Sox the way someone studies a second language. I post at many baseball message boards, but frequently on Red Sox forums, starting in 2006.

Sox are 43-0 when scoring more than their opponent.

Red Sox fans are the coolest. Who wouldn't want to spend time with us?

Yeah, I would agree. I'm too lazy to look at it team by team, but I'm guessing that's the case with any team that has decent pitching.

[Kimmi]

The Yankees are 33-14 when scoring more than 4 runs and 9-20 when they don't, so their numbers aren't as extreme as ours are.

[Spudboy]

Sox are 43-0 when scoring more than their opponent.

 

Even I can understand that math!

Now that's just mean. Unfortunately, you also have a point, which is the same as mvp78's and others: so what?

Breaking News?

2017:

39-10 (.796) when scoring 4 or more (15-9 /.625 when scoring 4-5 runs)

4-25 (.138) when they score 3 or less (4-13 /.235 when scoring 2-3 runs)

 

2016:

84-23 (.785) when scoring 4 of more (26-12/.684 when scoring 4-5 runs)

9-40 (.184) when scoring 3 or less (8-27/.229 when scoring 2-3 runs)

 

It's really about the amount of games we score 0-1 runs:

2016: 1-19 (20 games is 12.3% of our games)

2017: 0-12 (12 games is 15.1% of our games)

 

Games scoring 2-3 runs:

2016: 8-21 (.276)

2017: 4-13 (.235)

There's not a big difference here in winning percentage.
