Sometimes a simple stat comparison says a lot about a team:
| Runners in Scoring Position, 2010 | Orioles Hitters | Orioles Opponents |
|---|---|---|
| At Bats | 110 | 142 |
| At Bats | 17 | 43 |
| At Bats | .155 | .303 |
The Orioles hitters give themselves fewer chances to drive in runs, and compound that with a horrible success rate. They’ve driven in 26 runs in that situation, their opponents 68.
