That's a kind of team stat. But the box score records a stat on a per player basis. Take for instance a lead-off single followed by three strikeouts. Each of batters 2 through 4 left a runner on base. So at the end of the inning, 1 runner is left on base, but the box will show 3 failures to score the runner.

You know it! Try running some automated stat programs by ending an inning where not all LOB runners are captured. IT WILL DRIVE YOU NUTS trying to backtrack and find that "missing" end of inning LOB runner.
