Since 1993, MLB has had about 29 teams on average, so that's roughly 7 game scores over 90 per team. PIT at 3 is obviously below average, but it's such a rare event that I'm not sure it's meaningful. And they've had 3 game scores of zero or less, whereas an average team has had nearly 4. No doubt they've been an awful franchise since those 3 straight NL East crowns in 1990-1992, but I'm not sure the game scores are the best measure. That's not SO bad, is it?
