    Overs just don't hit anymore

    Seems like on a nightly basis most games struggle to get runs. Rarely see early offensive explosions anymore. Feel like last year and seasons before that August was a high scoring month. Maybe I'm just remembering incorrectly. Clearly gotta pick your spots now if you like overs. Runs at a premium these days.

    Everyone so freaking home run dependant nobody knows how to get guys home from 3rd with less than 2 outs. All you see is runners stranded all over the bases cause dudes strike out instead of choke up and put ball in play.

    It's insane how many runners stranded throughout the league each night. Bases loaded no outs isn't even a guarantee of a single damn run anymore. Guys striking out a record rate this year.

    Everyone just looks the other way when it comes to strikeouts. Used to be a embarrassment to strike out and guys that did so 200x in a season were laughing stocks. Now nobody cares, look at the rangers they got so many guys hitting around .200 and gonna strike out 200x but all the manager says is "long as his ops stays around .800 it ok", that why your team gets shut down by gas cans you twit!!

    I have a great deal of respect for votto, one of the few guys I see choke up w 2 strikes. And he still had 30 bombs! More impressive these days he actually has more walks than strikeouts, don't see that much around the league!
