Waste a lot, want a lot

The Pittsburgh Pirates won the first game of their doubleheader at home against the Atlanta Braves today by a 5-0 margin. The Braves managed to leave 15 runners on base in the game. The Braves got 8 hits, 6 walks, and had 2 batters reach on errors. One of the runners was erased on a double play.

The last team to leave 15 runners on base in a 9-inning game and not score was Colorado back on August 13, 2005 against Washington.

The record for most runners left on base in a 9-inning shutout is 16. Seattle did it against Toronto on May 7, 1998 and St. Louis did it against Philadelphia on May 24, 1994.

I just got home and saw this box score. I had a feeling the Griddle would be all over it. Looking at the PBP, the Braves started the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th innings with the first two batters making outs. In all but the 3rd inning, they then got two men on base before the third out was made.

I guess that's just not getting your positive offensive events to occur in a productive order.

The Braves got their frustrations out in the second game.
