Feb = 5.4 runs per game
March = 5 runs per game
April = 4.8 runs per game
Obviously it's trending downward, but I'm not sure this offense ever was a bunch of mashers. I'd love to see May and June in the 7 range....
BTW, last years team:
Feb = 8 runs per game
March = 6 runs per game
April = 6.2 runs per game
May = 3.93 runs per game

Trending downward or normal variation? May could very easily be back up to 5.2 or higher. It would seem logical the lower offensive numbers are a function of conference play, and the crème of the conference at that, with better pitching.
More runs would make everyone happier, but from my seat in the bleachers we have at least been consistent.

Do not forget that we have already played the top of the Pac-12 this year. That keeps the run total lower than "normal". Time to inflate it, starting with the ducks tonight!

Once again the loss of some tuesday games effect this as well... No double digit outbursts vs. PSU or the *ucks 4th starter to help the stats. Just wait until after the ACU weekend (my alamater, btw ) I am sure our average runs will go way up

The quality of pitching got better. I'm sure you'd also see runs given up per game on an upward rise over the same timeframe as the Beavs see better batters. I'm sure it happens every season.
As for last season, I'm sure a big chuck of that drop off what losing Mags (Madrigal) at the top of the lineup.

I actually like our numbers this year, as it seems steady. A little down on April, but this just may be a 5 run per game club. 5 is enough to win a lot of games when you only give up 2....

It should improve... the weather at home is getting better... we don't leave the state... and we're already over a run better at home than the road in Pac12 play.

Hey BeaverG20, not sure on your math....Beavs are averaging 5.4 runs for the whole season...but you have them with that in February and then going down...here's some of my math (maybe you are carrying 0's for cancelled games in your averages?)
Feb - 5.4 March - 5.7 April - 5.1 (includes UCLA & UW)
Pac12 - 5.3 Non-Conf - 5.5
UCLA & UW - 2.8 Everyone Else - 5.8
Not quite as troubling....
