    36 times

    This team has scored 2 runs or less through 108 games, exactly one out of every three times it takes the field.

    22 times 1 run or a shutout.

    It's hard to believe we actually had a debate earlier this season about whether the offense was subpar. Clearly, it has proven to be. Reds are down to 12th in MLB runs scored now and 13th in team OPS.

    Help us, Walt.

    Wouldn't that still make their offense above average?

    Sure, if your idea of good company going into the season was teams like the Dbacks, Padres, Mets and Mariners.

    The Above Average pennant will look great at GABP.

    4th in the NL. Comparing offense team stats to AP teams is unfair.

    As the Reds don't play inter-team games, don't we have to compare the Reds against the other teams in the division and the league?

    I agree, there's no denying this trend.

    This team is squandering some great pitching right now.

    Bone headed baserunning like Cozart's gaffe last night are maddening to me in an era of baseball where every run seemingly counts more, as less are scored.
    sorry we're boring

    I think you have the signs backward. Runs are less than 2. SO 2>=Runs or Runs <=2.

    Any comparison needs a valid baseline. I don't really see a baseline in the OP.

    Help us, Walt.
    And how does that rate of low scoring games compare to other teams? In general? Other teams that score as much as we do in aggregate?

    Sorry, but without context, stuff like this is sort of pointless.

    Form B-R: http://www.baseball-reference.com/pl...NL&submitter=1

    - The Reds have low scoring games less than the average NL team
    - The Reds win approximately the same amount their low scoring games as the average NL team

    	% of Games			Win%	
    Runs	Reds	NL		Reds	NL
    0	7%	7%		0%	0%

    2	14%	16%		27%	29%
    3	10%	14%		36%	42%
    4	16%	12%		65%	54%
    5	15%	11%		75%	72%
    6	8%	9%		89%	78%

    11	3%	1%		100%	100%
    12	1%	1%		100%	100%
    13	3%	1%		100%	100%
    14	0%	0%		-	100%
    15	1%	0%		100%	100%
    16	0%	0%		-	100%
    Don't get me wrong, 5 runs in 5 games is horrible. But I just don't know what people expect Walt to do. Right now the offense has 2 studs (Votto, Choo), 1 above average guy (Bruce), 2 average guys (Frazier, LF), 2 below average guys (Phillips, Rocco) and 1 black hole of suck (Cozart). With the talent spread like that, you're bound to have some pretty ugly streaks.

    Adding Hunter Pence isn't to fix Cozart or Phillips. The trade options that out there simply don't address our glaring weaknesses. Troy Tulowitski isn't walking through that door.

    Games are won on run differential -- scoring more than your opponent. Runs are runs, scored or prevented they all count the same. Worry about scoring more and allowing fewer, not which positions contribute to which side of the equation or how "consistent" you are at your current level of performance.
