The Reds have now lost 49 games.
In 24, it was entirely due to hitting. Meaning the pitching gave up 4 runs or fewer (thus below league average for R/G which is a little over 4) but the offense couldn't score 5 or more.
In 16, it was due to both. Scored 4 or fewer AND gave up 5 or more.
In only 9, it was due solely to pitching.
Even the wins have had a (slightly) greater basis in positive pitching results.
25 both pitching and hitting were good
12 only pitching
10 only hitting
Note: I adjusted runs scored and runs allowed for extra innings. If you lose 5-4 in 19 innings that's the offense's fault, not the pitching.
As another example of how the results in a select few explosive games skew our offensive totals...
We have 52 games with 4 or fewer runs, and 44 with 5 or more.
40 times we have scored 3 or fewer.
28 times we have scored 2 or fewer. St. Louis, with almost exactly the same total RS for the season, has only been held to 2 or fewer runs 18 times. They usually score in the 3-5 range, giving their pitchers a fighting chance.
