Yes, like I said, situation driven. Not all outs are created equal.
Um...ok. I don't think anyone ever argued that in a tie game in the bottom of the 12th with a runner on second that a K was no worse than a ground ball to first. Individual situations are just that. Individual situations. Tec's complaining about all players in general, regardless of the situation, striking out too much. It's dumb. Argue that they make outs too often but K's are just another out.
It's like if I said "all players are grounding out too often" and then pointed to a couple situations where a ground ball is an absolute heart breaker. It wouldn't be smart to argue that players should alter their approaches to avoid ground balls based on those few situations. Ground balls are just another type of out. No worse than others.
