+ + {{ selected_team.team_name }}'s {{ selected_season }} games are stored, + but they were imported before pitching was collected. Hits allowed is + recorded on the pitching line, which is a separate MLB stat group in + its own request — so it is not something the existing rows can + be read for. +
++ Re-import the team-season to fetch it. The batting rows are left in + place and updated rather than replaced: +
+{{ reimport_command }}
+ + The hits, batting strikeouts, runs, baserunners, and run differential + charts read the batting rows and are unaffected. +

++ Each point is the number of hits {{ analysis.team_name }}'s pitchers + surrendered in one completed game. The + {{ rolling_average_label|lower }} covers that game and the + {{ analysis.rolling_window - 1 }} games before it, and early-season + points use every game played so far. The dashed line is the team's + average across the completed games currently stored for this season. +
++ Lower is better here, which is the opposite of the + Hits page this one mirrors. A negative vs MLB value + means the team allowed fewer hits per game than the league. + {{ direction_sentence }} +
++ {% if league_comparison %} + The dotted line is MLB overall. + {% endif %} + {{ league_comparison_note }} +
++ From the batting table, not the pitching one. Every hit by one team + is a hit allowed by another, so summed across the whole league the + two totals are the same number over the same count of team-game + records. That means this comparison needs only a complete + league-wide batting import, which is why it is available + here while the ERA comparison on the Pitching page usually is not. +
++ The identity holds for the league as a whole and not for any part of + it. One club's hits allowed has nothing to do with its own hits. +
++ The chart is a per-game count. H/9 in the cards is a + rate: total hits allowed over total innings, scaled to nine. They + differ whenever a team pitches other than regulation length — + extra innings raise the per-game figure without raising the rate, + and a game where the home team never batted in the ninth does the + reverse. +
