This is less a Mike Trout sucks rather than a holy crap, 20 times in 23 years; 1 time in 13 years.

Wow.

- hitters did not want to strike out then, it was considered an epic fail. - groiny Apr 7, 08:51 1
  - along with pitchers not really wanting to walk hitters either. - groiny Apr 7, 08:54
Mike's been K'd more often since he signed that big deal, most think he's trying too hard. -- nm - budice Apr 7, 08:46
it was a different game then. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 7, 08:45 3
- Even forgiving that, 2 guys who hit 360 homers in 13 years and 755 in 23 years struck out 3x in a game 21 times? - Will Hunting Apr 7, 08:54 2
  - I am not diminishing the numbers at all, just that it is not really apples to apples. - groiny Apr 7, 08:56 1
    - Not only that, but Trout can see 3 or 4 pitchers a game. How often did DiMaggio see a fresh pitcher in the later innings? -- nm - ???? Apr 7, 09:00
