The San Diego Padres beat the Cincinnati Reds, 1-0, on Monday despite notching only one hit in the contest. The effort finished off a brutal and historically bad month of offensive impotence for the Padres, who rank dead last in the Majors in hits, runs, batting average, on-base percentage and slugging.

Here are 9 astonishing facts about the Padres’ offense:

1. They had the worst month since 1972

Since 1914, only eight teams have ever had a month in which they posted a collective OPS (on base plus slugging) below .500. And in six of those instances, the team played fewer than 13 games in the month. Only these Padres and the 1972 Texas Rangers have played a full month of baseball and managed an OPS lower than .500. Ironically, those Rangers were managed by Ted Williams.

2. By batting average, it was the worst since at least 1914

The Padres hit .171 in June. Baseball-reference tracks team splits to 1914, and no other team in that time frame has hit below .175 in a calendar month.

3. They have the worst team batting average in history

With a .210 mark through 83 games, the Padres appear at some legitimate risk of breaking the 1910 White Sox’ record for lowest team batting average in MLB history. That White Sox team combined to hit .211, so a good night could get the Padres out of the basement.

4. They have the worst OBP since the deadball era

The Padres’ .270 team on-base percentage, if it could somehow hold, would rank as the worst since the 1908 Brooklyn Superbas mustered a .268 mark. In 1908, Cy Young was still playing and Brooklyn pitcher Irvin “Kaiser” Wilhelm’s nickname was contemporary.

5. Context doesn’t help

If you’re a suffering Padres fan, you might point out that offensive is down around the league and has been for several years, and Petco Park is one of the Majors’ toughest hitting environments. And that’s all true. But even by the park- and league-adjusted stat OPS+, the Padres’ offense is awful. Their 74 mark is tied for the seventh-lowest ever and the worst since 1964.

6. Five NL pitchers have outhit them

Pitchers don’t get many at-bats, so sample-size caveats apply here. But Adam Wainwright, Travis Wood, Jacob deGrom, Jhoulys Chacin and Jacob Turner can all boast better batting averages, on-base percentages and slugging percentages than the 2014 San Diego Padres.

7. Seven regulars are hitting under .220

Nine Padres have more than 150 at-bats to date in 2014. Of them, seven are hitting under .220. Will Venable, Yasmani Grandal and the injured Jedd Gyorko are all below the Mendoza Line.

This, actually, represents the most hopeful item on this list: Many of the Padres have established career lines to suggest they’re far better hitters than they’ve been in 2014. Unless some calamitous disease has taken hold in the Padres’ clubhouse, guys like Venable, Gyorko, Chase Headley, Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin can all be expected to hit far better in the second half of the season.

8. Seth Smith leads the team in basically everything

You’ll have to excuse outfielder Seth Smith if his back starts aching: He’s been carrying the Padres’ offense all year. The lefty-hitting journeyman is quietly enjoying a career year amid all San Diego’s offensive woes, and leads the club in batting average, OBP, runs, doubles, triples, homers, RBI and walks.

9. They’re scoring less than three runs per game

The Padres are on pace to score 474 runs all season, which would be the fewest of any team over a 162-game campaign since 1969, and represent one of only six times a team has averaged less than three runs per game in a 162-game season. Six teams since 2000 have scored more than 948 runs in a season — or double the Padres’ pace.

Again: The Padres don’t have a great lineup, but there’s almost no way they’re as bad as they have been. They’ve got 79 games left to show it.
