Do teams often get outhit and lose...

[Squirrel]

...in baseball?

I've never really paid all that much attention to it and wonder how often it happens. It seems to have happened to me at least 4 times in the past 10 days or so, my team will have 3 or 4 more hits than the opponents and still lose, pisses me RIGHT OFF!!!

Of Course it Happens. Most teams that win have more hits but it's not uncommon especially in a low scoring game. You must be new to watching baseball.

No shit, Sherlock. I already said that it happens. I Just queried how much since ive never really paid much attention to how often it happens.

Not quite.

Squirrel, the confusion is the titled should read:

Do teams often lose even when they outhit their opponents?

You can prove, looking at any single column of baseball statistics, that Team A should lose or Team A should win. Even the Pythagorean that so many swear by, and is indeed a very useful tool, is misleading if you only try to make sense of the way the game is played using but one single stat.

I remember this game from last year...I had a good chunk on LAD. I guess I should never complain about never catching a break?
