But, he's on target this time. The Sox don't score runs for Daisuke (Dk). According to bostondirtdogs.com, the Sox averaged 2.6 runs per game in his last 11 starts, which is lower than the number of runs Texas scored (30) in one game yesterday. Dk has comparable stats to Beckett, except for win/loss percentage. I couldn't find a stat to prove this but I think the difference is run support. Beckett gets it and Dk doesn't. </p> http://bostonist.com/2007/08/23/sports_redux_fr.php#comment-1180238 http://bostonist.com/2007/08/23/sports_redux_fr.php#comment-1180238 Comments Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:19:01 -0500 <p>You know what they say; all generalizations are inaccurate.</p> http://bostonist.com/2007/08/23/sports_redux_fr.php#comment-1180227 http://bostonist.com/2007/08/23/sports_redux_fr.php#comment-1180227 Comments Thu, 23 Aug 2007 10:12:57 -0500 <p>"When you strand 14 runners, you don't win. It's that simple." Uh, you can score as many runs as you want and still strand 14 runners on base. http://www.baseball-almanac.com/recbooks/left_on_base_records.shtml Atlanta stranded 18 in a nine-inning game and won 6-5: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/box-scores/boxscore.php?boxid=198606230LAN</p>
