stil370 · 10-20-20, 07:39 PM

im going to see what a few others answer Mets before i post a link. Its a good guess.

KVB · 10-20-20, 07:39 PM

I'll go with the first inning.

Hands down.

Chi_archie · 10-20-20, 07:40 PM

6th inning

first would have been my first guess, but it's taken

14th inning would be my 3rd guess

floodgates open in the 14th

Judge Crater · 10-20-20, 07:40 PM

1st easy

MinnesotaFats · 10-20-20, 07:45 PM

Well....modern baseball it's got to be the 1st inning, but historical stats would suggest the start of the 3rd trip thru the order so 6th over 120 year span??

RudyRuetigger · 10-20-20, 07:46 PM

9th

i wouldve said 1st

9th will be least, often times they only play half an inning.

But I think you knew that.

from what I see the 2nd inning on average has seen less runs since 1921

If you're thinking Tennessee remember they were 4-8 in 2017.

2nd inning will be 2nd least, most likely, especially more recently. Hard to get less than the 9th.

I thought we weren't looking it up?...lol.

Well, to be upfront, I didnt guess right the first time.

The answer is by far the first inning as many of you guys have mentioned.. Im going to post 2 links but its actually the 2nd link that I got the answer from off my phone. some guy did research over 370k games in the washington post article unfortunately I cant open it on my desktop because they tell me I have to subscribe, therefore 2 links.

I'd already answered it, and we all knew that answer so of course i'm going to look up other stuff

Highest-scoring inning? It's not what you think

https://www.mlb.com/news/highest-scoring-inning-is-surprising

"The first inning is the highest-scoring inning" is one of those warmed-over old chestnuts of baseball wisdom that sounds like it can't actually be consistently true, just like "good pitching beats good hitting" and "small ball works better in the playoffs." Unlike those apocryphal half-truths, however, this one is true,

since 1921 thru 2018 2nd inning a tick below 4 runs per 9 and the 9th inning two ticks above 4 runs/9

I'm guessing the last 40 years or so the 2nd inning surpasses the 9th.

I was totally joking about looking it up...lol.

Since I am official thread scorekeeper....kvb won thread

agreed prob starting with the post Rollie Fingers, Rich Gossage era as closers became better and better defined as a role and filled with a plus plus arm the 9th inning should have gone down and down

find us a good graph on year to year 9th inning through recent years
