* LOB here counts the other runners on base when each batter's turn ended — a batter is never charged for reaching base himself, and a man left standing when the inning ends is charged to nobody. The same runner can be counted again for a later batter who leaves him there. So this column and the team figure below it, which is the number of men left on base at the end of the innings, are two different counts and are not expected to agree.
