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

    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

    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

    record for three-game series with 82

    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.
