These numbers are through Sunday's 5-1 win

When the Sox score 4 or more runs, they are 39-8.
When they allow 4 or more runs, they are 12-24.

The Sox are 2nd in pitching, 4th in hitting, and
4th in fielding. So the above numbers concern me.

Sometimes statistics aren't all that significant. I think that this is one
of those cases. Think about it - what the stats really say are:

"When the Sox score 4 or more runs, they are 39-8" - what this really says
is "when the Sox hit well, they usually win"
"When they allow 4 or more runs, they are 12-24" - what this really says is
"when the Sox don't pitch well, they usually lose".

Sometimes the numbers can just be crunched too far.

Anyway, that's my two cents.

I guess it is better for a baseball team to score a lot of runs rather than
giving up a lot of runs. On a related story the sun is expected to rise in
the east tommorow.
