Anatomy of our 12-11 run

[Frobby]

- Offense: .269/.318/.452, 5.57 runs/game.   Scored 7 or more runs in 9 of 12 wins.

- Pitching:  4.35 ERA, 4.96 runs/game.   Allowed 2 runs or less in 9 of 12 wins.

- As you can deduce from the above, not many of our wins have been close.   7 of 12 wins were by 5 runs or more; only one win was by 1 run.  

- On the flip side, we scored 3 or less in 8 of 11 losses.   We allowed 6 or more runs in 8 of 11.

Big hitters in this window:

- Renato Núñez, .333/.422/.731, 9 HR 21 RBI

- Anthony Santander, .333/.360/.591, 6 HR 21 RBI

Honestly the starting pitching has been a pleasant surprise this season.

2019 Starters: 5.34 ERA, 26th in MLB

2018 Starters: 5.48 ERA, 30th in MLB

2017 Starters: 5.70 ERA, 30th in MLB

 

Oh, and the O’s pitchers have a 4.90 ERA overall this month. That’s better than 10 other MLB teams.

A comment at Lets Go Tribe lamented that Santander has 1.1 WAR in only 38 games.

The funny thing is I was looking for comments lamenting the loss of Wojo

Funny how fanbases are.  I'm kinda surprised someone isn't gloating over the rough patch Strop is in.

I was thinking about Strop last night. He’s been with the Cubs ever since the trade. That’s 8 seasons. That’s highly unusual in this era. I doubt any Cubs fans are complaining too much about him.

He's blown four eighth inning leads in the last two weeks.  I'm sure someone is calling for his head.

That seems major.

[LA2]

It shows how starved we are for good signs that during our proud 12-11 we've lost three games in a row twice, but won three in a row just once.

Meanwhile, among major contributors, we've lost Cashner and Means is on the 10-day IL. Bundy has to step forward, Woj keep spinning his magic, our nondescript bullpen keep improving, and something patched together from Brooks, Eshelman, and the two Ys to hold down the back 2-3 spots in the rotation, depending on when there's a regression to the Means.

The Orioles are 7-3 in their last 10 games.

Not many people thought that we'd be seeing that sequence beside their name in the standings this season.

Funny how when the SP does better the BP does better.

it’s been a nice run. Now we have my boy Jace Peterson for 3B. Not too many easy outs in our lineup right now.

And when the SP and the BP both do better, the team does better.

And when the team does better, more fans come to the stadium.

And when more fans come to the stadium ........

Is this perhaps the Chance Sisco effect?
