There are lots of situations where batters make outs and don't drive in runs.

All you have to say is yes or no. Do you think teams score more runs when they strikeout less?

There are NO situations where batters strikeout and drive in runs. You know why?

But you're not answering the question. You're asking your own question and then answering it.
Answer my question.

Untrue.

Runs have scored on strikeouts. Runners can advance. I've seen it.

Hell, I've seen a runner score on an infield fly.

Do you ever WATCH baseball? Probably not.
