I can’t recall but I believe around 30-35 of those runs came in incredible bad blowouts. Like losses of 7+ runs have happened in around 4-5 games. Our run differential in the other games is around -10 to -15. This team is def better than last years
3rd most home runs. Worst OBP. Worst strikeouts. 2nd worst walks drawn. 7th worst ERA. But we’re winning games still. Even a little bit of an increase in the OBP, and we’re going to be seeing that run differential start to swing with less 1-run wins.
Just enjoy the ride. I keep saying it. Set the expectations low and everything else is icing the cake.
Shhhhhhhhh you are going to ruin my excitement
The Cubs had a run diff of -98 in 2015 and still got into the playoffs.
They either win close games or get btfo.
When it comes to winning, they say “It’s not how, it’s how many”.

run differential literally doesn’t mean anything
Don’t check our team WAR either
mostly luck, record in 1 run games is a random stat that is not repeatable
What is the run differential since the start of the Dodgers series?
Forget that the Angels can’t shake the Rangers away. They’ve been separated by half a game for so many days lol probably weeks
Playing in a lackluster division tells pretty much the whole story.
Negative run differential, positive fun differential
Just extremely good in 1-run games
We are officially .500 against teams over .500 at 23-23.
I feel like a lot of our negative differential is related to early season woes and things seem to have improved.
Hopefully they keep it up!
Young team gelling together, rinding out wins.
The one time I choose to ignore statistics because baseball go brrrrrrrrrrrr
