More Ks Than Hs

[Rock Strongo]

April 2018 is the first month in MLB history in which players struck out more than they got hits.

Tim Kurkjian:
I’m a little worried about this. I have been for the last five years, at least, and really for the last 30 years. It’s just too much, guys. I love the game, I always will, but too many guys are swinging as hard as they can on every pitch. They are swinging the same on 3-0 as they do on 0-2.

And even though the pitching today is ungodly great, and I don’t know how anyone ever puts it in play, we have to have an adjustment from our hitters, because there are just way too many strikeouts. We’re going to have 10 guys strike out 40 times before we get to May.

And I know it’s a different time and it’s a different era, but Tony Gwynn’s strikeout high was 40. DiMaggio was 39. Yogi Berra was 38. And now we’re going to have a dozen guys, maybe, strike out that many times before we get to May. It’s too many, and it’s one reason why the games last so long, is we average 16.5 strikeouts per game.

no
shit

Interesting. Lots of good names on that list too for k's. Seems like it's swing at everything for some of these guys.

He could also be traded to NY. They have special villages there
