Did the Braves - Marlins series broke the record for most strikeouts?

[pavyracer]

Someone tally the strikeouts in all three games by all pitchers. Never seen such awful hitting in my life before. Each game feels like it had 25 strikeouts or more. The art of hitting in MLB is lost. Marlins score 4 runs total in 3 games any they won a game!

Not really that mind blowing when you think about guys like Dan the fan in the lineup

[SportsMushroom]

mlb should have thought of that before banning peds

[pavyracer]

Game 1 - Miami 12K - Atlanta 10K
Game 2 - Miami 13K - Atlanta 15K
Game 1 - Miami 16K - Atlanta 12K

Miami strikeout 41 times
Atlanta strikeout 37 times

78 strikeouts in 55 innings

[Chi_archie]

I counted the braves/marlins at 78 total strikeouts

last year on april 19 the Tigers and Mariners combined for 82 strikeouts in a 3 game series to set the record... but they played 4 more innings due to a 14 inning game

Pavy get your engineer slide rule or TI-80whatever out and retabulate

[pavyracer]

I corrected it. 78 it is. Thanks.

78/55 = 1.42
82/59 = 1.39

Looks like they averaged more K's per inning in Braves/Marlins.

I think strikeouts are up in general the last 3 years in mlb. So many guys trying to hit hrs now because that's where money is. Also I think more guys are guess hitters now therefore more strikeouts.

Broke?

mlb should have thought of that before banning peds
