A bit of a side bar question. How many outs on average have been recorded by strikeout by decade? Is it higher now than ever? For the first three or four decades of the 20th century, only a handful of guys struck out over 100 times a season. Yet a guy like Rube Waddell struck out 349 batters in 1904. How does that strikeout rate, when compared to the number of outs by strikeout, compare to some of Ryan's better seasons?

Look at a lot of managers and coaches. As Woody Allen said, "Those who can't do, teach."

He should be able to show them what not to do. In all seriousness he might turn out to be a good hitting coach.

TDog was all over it in his post.
Strikeouts just don't carry the stigma that they used to. It's true pitchers are better these days. It's amazing how most throw in the 90s. Yet I can't believe how many hitters refuse to adjust their approach with two strikes. It's like choking up is beneath them. So apparently is cutting down on a swing. |

Despite the strikeouts today's hitters are producing more runs per game than the league has since the 40's. Maybe they actually know what they're doing after all?
This isn't an excuse for Dunn, but many of you are acting like there is a problem with the league as a whole. Dunn was very good before he came to the Sox, but there is no way his production since has been an asset. |

Since the late 90s, sure. I suppose that is worth mentioning. Is the approach to hitting in 1998-2000 any different than the approach to hitting today?

It is certainly different than 20 years ago.
