The Angels have given up a whopping 79 unearned runs

The ROX have given up 62 unearned runs

The Giants have given up 61 unearned runs

The Twins have given up 34 unearned runs

Wow. I assume the Twins have the 4th highest total?

The Halos are well ahead of us and the Rox, we are considerably closer to #1 (Angels) than we are #4 (Twins).

Nah. The Twins are the best at preventing unearned runs. Most teams are in the 50-60 range. A few are in the 40’s. Only mentioned the Twinkees for comparison. Sorry if it was misleading.

So if you don't disappoint, does that disappoint you?

What's the old joke: A masochist says to the sadist, "Hurt me" and the sadist says, "no".

So we are more so in the pack, just at the bad side of the bulk…

I guess it is just that this team LOOKS bad at everything they do, they get the negative benefit of the doubt.

Plus it's in flux...for a while there leading into the AS break they looked like a good team with great pitching, pretty decent offense and reasonable defense anchored by a Gold Glove level rookie catcher. Then the hitting and defense went to shit and here we are (PB being hurt has been a big part of that lately)
