Overall, an out is an out.
If you told me, "wow it was really ****** for Trout to strike out with a runner on third and one out," I'd agree.
If you told me that Trout would have been better in 2014 if he had made more outs in play, I'd disagree.
So you're just rehashing last week's argument again, with nothing new to add?
Good job. Thanks for wasting my time.
Says the guy who started the thread.
Yes, that's my main argument. An out is an out. Do you agree or disagree with this statement:
Trout would have been better in 2014 if he had made more outs in play
I'll make this statement:
Trout will be a better player in 2015 if he can cut down on his strikeouts.
And I'll also make this statement:
Outs in play are going to be better than strikeouts over the course of a season.
If you want to connect those two statements somehow, be my guest. But I'm not interested in your putting words in my mouth.
