What 172 and 125 tells you
The league publishes no game results and does publish the aggregate: runs scored and runs allowed per club, which is the next best thing and better than nearly anyone else here manages.
Some of it is startling. The 48+ Bats have scored 172 and allowed 125 in eighteen games, which is roughly ten runs a side per game in a division of men over forty-eight. The 58+ Brewers have scored 52 and allowed 188 across fourteen. The 38+ Blue Jays have allowed 201.
Those totals came from somewhere and the games they came from are not written down. High Cheese scores at the field, offline if the signal drops, and posts the box score when the book is finalized, so a 201-runs-allowed season is fourteen games somebody can look at rather than one number.
