    C'mon man.

    If you're paid more, strikeouts don't count as much. Get with the program.

    You didn't post the "at bats" or "plate appearances". (sigh)


    but ..."nice attempt" to jack up sample size by using PAs rather than ABs

San Francisco struck out more than anyone else, yet they were 7th in the big leagues in runs scored.

    sorry steel. what was i thinking.

    So if your payroll is over, say 95 mil then each strikeout is only counted as a third of a strike?

    does that mean it takes more pitches to strikeout Manny Ramirez?

    because walks suck. and getting on base means nothing, cuz a walk isn't as good a a single.

    just kill me.

    Uh.......why should I use ABs? What's important is the outcome every time he walks to the plate. You're making less sense the more you speak.

    I posted the plate appearances and listed walks. Is that not enough.

    Re: Strike out = to any other out?

    what makes no "logical sense whatsoever" (again) ,and is the point of this thread, is that you'll acknowledge strikeouts are GOOD for pitchers but you contend they are not BAD for hitters.

    You're trying to say that there is a positive correlation between a hitter's strikeouts and his offensive contribution??

    Don't forget to include pitchers and their at bats.

    Your Bosox fact is what it is. But strikeouts is NOT the only variable at work with that example.

    NJ, we've got another feature on the board that can end your pain altogether. Go to User CP and find the "ignore" list on the left scrollbar. Took me all of one evening to decide this guy's LP was one endless skip.

    Re: Strike out = to any other out?

    I looked at your "bulleted list" (scroll up). You posted NEITHER plate appearances or at bats in that list.

    But I stand corrected that you did cite the 106 PAs in the text..........

    you are so close to getting it.

    psst. the key isn't strikeouts.

    it's on base percentage. Dunn gets on base 38% of the time. When your team has a high OBP, they tend to score a lot of runs.

    And guys like Dunn are rare. High OBP, monster power.

    get it?

    Why do I need to just re-type what M2, D-Man, and Steel have already laid out quite nicely. It's not my fault that it's beyond your comprehension

    You're trying to say that there is a positive correlation between a hitter's strikeouts and his offensive contribution??
    OK. That has to qualify as one of the funniest statements ever uttered here on RedsZone. What I'm arguing is that stike-outs have NEXT TO NO correlation to offensive contribution. It's actually YOU who are arguing that strikeouts correlate to offensive contribution.

    Your Bosox fact is what it is.
    OK. You've got me here. I really can't argue with this point.
