Late Innings

Strange stat of the day, Kansas City leads the majors in runs allowed, allowing only a paltry 21 runs. Conversely speaking, they have also scored the fewest amount of runs in the majors as well (touching plate only 18 times!)

Now on to the brawn, Baltimore is fifth the majors in runs scored, crossing the plate 43 times. They are also fifth in the majors with runs allowed, allowing a whopping 45 runs. It’s not as bad as Cleveland, and it’s been a well-known fact that Baltimore’s bats can rake. Adam Jones, Nick Markakis, Brian Roberts and co. are doing their jobs, it’s the pitching staff that isn’t. Now for kicks, if we could just supplant the Royals’ rotation and bullpen in Baltimore, we’d have a pennant team that will probably win about 125 games.
