O/T - Yawn..another no hitter for 2012

[D. Bergin]

I don't know what it is? Maybe they'll lower the mounds next year.

I get the feeling major league hitters are becoming more and more undisciplined at the plate. Either that or the strike zone has gotten considerably bigger without me noticing. Devil Rays just set the record for strikeouts as a team. Orioles have nearly an entire lineup of 100+ strikeout guys.

I haven't compared statistics from previous years, but it just seems like OBP has been down overall.

More guys are swinging for the fences, even with two strikes on them. The power guy with 20-40 HR's a low batting average and and a negligible amount of walks are all too common now.

That guy used to be Dave Kingman. Seems there's a Dave Kingman on every team now.

Curtis Granderson is pushing 200 K's with the Yanks. Adam Dunn is............well Adam Dunn (at least he DOES walk quite a bit). There's going to be about 2 dozen guys with 150+ strikeouts this year and none of them have an impressive number of walks.
