This is huge. Better defense would be good...more run production protects quality starts and shitty middle relief...but this is really the biggest problem. All more runs can do is camouflage this in the Win/Loss columns. We'd still be going nuts sweating out shrinking leads in the late innings.

It could be that Lilly's return moving a good arm to the pen will be significant.

9 games scoring 4 runs or less. Disgraceful.

[Andy]

The Cubs are 15th in runs scored and 14th in OBP in the NL.

The team that just took 2-of-3 from us is last in both... by a wide margin.

[jstraw]

Ok, I'm kidding myself. Everything but starting pitching and our closer is broken.

[Andy]

Updated through Z's move to the Pen.

[Andy]

Updated through 4/22. These stats are really centered on pitching. Wonder if it would make sense to throw some batting in there?

[Andy]

Updated through Brewers sweep.

Key stat that still sticks out:

Runs allowed: Innings 1-6: 39
Runs allowed: Innings 7+: 41


Also from a scoring perspective, we went into the + column in run differential this series.

Odd: We've only scored 3 runs in the 6th inning thus far this season.

[Andy]

Updated through 28th.

[Andy]

Updated through 5/2.

Key stat:

Total runs: 129
Runs against Brewers and D'Backs in 10 games: 80 - 8.0 average
Runs in all other 16 games: 49 - 3.1 average

Brewers team ERA: 5.09
D'Backs team ERA: 5.90

Three of those errors were on Z, correct?

So you're saying all this praise about this team is a bit premature?


Shocking.

3-7 record when allowing 3 runs. That is pure shit.
