If Sox give up 5 runs, they lose

[VAfan]

If the Sox do not keep the opposing team under 5 runs -- and almost always under 4 -- they lose. In only one game, a 10-6 win at Detroit April 13th, has that not proven out. These are the runs the Sox have given up in their wins:

 

2, 0, 1, 6, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 0, 2, 4, 2, 4, 0, 0, 3, 2, 2, 3, 4, 2, 2. That's up through tonights game, which we are leading 6-0.

 

What's the point? Just another way of noting that the offense is terrible. It has helped win only 1 game so far this year, the 10-6 game at Detroit. There are only 3 other games when we've given up 4 runs and won.
