Oh yeah, BJ -- you watched a strike three, got a walk instead, were thrown out by a foot attempting to steal second and called safe, and now you mope about a called strike three at the knees. Poor guy.

the no-hitters are all just a hiccup but if teams continue to work on improving their defense while sending out the mark reynoldses of the world to strike out twice per game, there's gonna be a lot less scoring for a while

cider, there is only one Mark Reynolds; ya shouldn't use one of the most atypical players to generalize.

yeah i was being dumb but it is true that league strikeout rate is at an all time high at the same time as defensive improvements are the hot front-office thing. i doubt it's a coincedence that scoring is down in such an environment.

a 12-pt slug decrease is the most surprising. I wonder how much of that is Target Field, 4 points?

is target really playing as a petco-like park?

how much of that is mauer's fluke season last year though?

mauer's not a HR hitter and isn't gonna suddenly start hitting 25 a year just because of one lucky season
