Usually a team with high numbers of "runners left on base" has a high number because they also have a high number of "runners reaching base". The percentage of how many are left on base related to the number reaching base is the telling number.
-Last night that number happened to be high due to the inconsistent strike zone by the home plate ump. It was obvious throughout the game.
-Ever notice that fans don't complain much about runners left on base during wins of a large margin or runners left on after their team scores several runs in one inning?
We are a good team. This stat is not a concern for a 12-1 team.
