How have the M's done when behind/ahead after each inning?
So, with too much time on my hands on a Sunday night (I get three-day weekends every so often followed or preceded by just a Sunday off) and still buzzing from the high of this afternoon's game, I put together a little info on the Mariners have fared when ahead, behind or tied after each inning. Essentially useless, especially with a small sample size, but still fun to look at.
Overall: 15-10
When the M's are:
Leading
After 1: 6-1
After 2: 9-2
After 3: 8-2
After 4: 9-4
After 5: 12-4
After 6: 11-1
After 7: 11-2
After 8: 12-1
Tied
After 1: 6-7
After 2: 2-3
After 3: 2-4
After 4: 2-1
After 5: 1-1
After 6: 2-2
After 7: 2-0
After 8: 2-1
After 9: 2-0
After 10: 1-0
After 11: 1-0
After 12: 1-0
After 13: 1-0
After 14: 1-0
Trailing
After 1: 3-2
After 2: 4-5
After 3: 5-4
After 4: 4-5
After 5: 2-5
After 6: 2-7
After 7: 2-8
After 8: 1-8
Besides the obvious (wonder when the trailing-after-8 win was), here are a few highlights:
— Game 7 (Bedard beats Outman 1-0 in Oakland) was the first time a game was still tied after second inning. In the first six, there had been scoring in one of the first two innings.
— The Mariners had the lead after four innings in each of their first three losses. Conversely, they won the first two times they trailed after 4.
— One old adage that rings true: Score first. Seattle is 6-1 when leading after one, 9-2 after two Then again, it's 3-2 when trailing after one.
— In fact, the M's have been doing OK playing from behind early in games, but the winning percentage drops off dramatically if they're trailing after 5 and even more so after 6. Random but fun.
— I'm going to try to update this every few weeks as I have time.

Great info!
Its all about what one should expect, given the %age win chances of leading or trailing after those #s of innings, wit hthe exception that the Mariners have outperformed after trailing early on. Its nice to know that giving up 3 runs in the 1st isnt an automatic loss. ;)
I love that we have had the lead 16 out of 25 games after 5 innings.
Not sure that there is a ton of significance to that other than playing with the lead sure does help.
Well the team has won 15 out of 25 games
so that seems to correlate pretty well.
