I actually thought with no shift it would actually help him. Guess you still need to make contact.
Until a strikeout can advance runners I will totally be against them. Sac flies still exist. It's a nonproductive out.Actually his OPS+ is 101 this year which means he's hitting slightly above league average (and much better than he did last year when he was at 80). Isolating strike outs as if they're more important than most other non-productive at bats is nearly useless.
He struck out in half his at bats? Oh no! Except even great hitters make an out 60% of the time or more. A strike out is an out. Your main job as a hitter is to avoid making outs, not avoid making certain types of outs.
The antiquated way people view strike outs even in this day and age needs to go away.

Sure. The ones that aren't can't be done with no contact.Almost all outs are non productive outs.

People definitely need to embrace the new.The antiquated way people view strike outs even in this day and age needs to go away.
and even double plays can score a run at times or even move a runner to 3rd.And some contact outs are worse, like double plays.

Why give up that chance by having a no contact hitter at the plate?
Somebody in the NY area want to check on the wellbeing of Frank the Tank?
I don't even pay attention to baseball anymore but this caught my attention.
So happy with him. It looks like being on a winning team has rejuvenated him.
We have all of this without our "ace". It's incredible. Our offense is incredible.So happy with him. It looks like being on a winning team has rejuvenated him.
I don't know if this is anything to this but evidently he and Verlander don't get along too well and it goes all the way back to when they were pitching for the Tigers.So happy with him. It looks like being on a winning team has rejuvenated him.
Heard that on the Ticket this morning. Said he thought Verlander was kind of a prima donna.I don't know if this is anything to this but evidently he and Verlander don't get along too well and it goes all the way back to when they were pitching for the Tigers.
