Can I get some stats please?

When was the last time...

 

a team was shut out on consecutive nights?

a team was shut out in 4 out of 6 games?

a team scored 1 run in 4 games?

a team scored 3 runs in 6 games?

 

I know the Twins were outscored by Detroit 33-1 in the sweep last weekend. Even if you include the following game that's still 3 runs in 4 games. But before that stretch they scored 7 runs and after that stretch they scored 5. Even they weren't as pathetic as the Cubs have been.

If it wasn't Kansas City, it might have been Detroit or Arizona. Those teams were pretty pathetic in previous years.

We were discussing in the game thread, the 1992 Cubs were shut out 4 games in a row, and 5 out of 6 games. Except, in that 6th game, they scored 5 runs in a win, so even that stretch we scored 5 runs in 6 games, beating our current mark of 3 runs in 6 games.

Nope, not Kansas City last year. They had a string of games where they got shut out 3 out of 4, but scored 3 runs in that one game in between shut outs.

 

They also had a string of games where they lost 19 in a row, and they were only shut out 3 times in that span of games. In 6 of those games, they scored 5 or more 6 times.

In 2004, KC got shut out 3 times in a row directly following a game they scored 1 run. It was also at the tail end of an 8 game losing streak.

 

Interestingly enough, the 2005 Houston Astros were shut out 17 times last year and went to the World Series.

So the 1992 Cubs have the shutout streak broken but the 2006 Cubs have been more inept at scoring runs.

 

After I wrote it I figured somebody had the shutout streak beat, but 3 runs in 6 games is pathetic
