Box Score Bytes - Game 21

1) A real pitcher's duel at first. Dueling no hitters through 4 and half and then U-Ball served up a base's loaded triple. At that point I thought the game was over but the Rox clawed back...

2) Fine time for our bullpen to finally blow it...up until today their only losses were in extra innings...

3) How about the top of the 5th when all three outs were fly balls to the left fielder. Also in the top of the third the Marlins struck out the side. Baseball a game of symmetry sometimes just check out the box score.   Rox score three runs on six hits and the Marlins score six runs on three hits...


4)  So I was wondering how often does a team out-hit another team and still lose a game?  Well the results shocked me:

In Rox Losses, the Rox have out-hitted (or equal hit totals) its opponent 294 times (in 1490 losses) - 20%
In Rox Wins, the Rox have been out-hitted (or equaled) by its opponent 403 times (in 1364 wins) - 30%

So Rox have lost a fifth of their games by hitting more than their opponents and have won third of their games by being out-hit by their opponents....

5)  And from the obscure statistics department, today marked Game 21, which in Rox history is not a good game number.  After today's loss they are now 1-18!
