K Much?

I think I need to find a new hitting coach who specializes in contact or patience.....I know it was a 15 inning game, but, 27 k's? seriously? Let's try taking a few pitches boys!

Aaaaand they still won. Who racked up all those K's?

Every one except Jumbo Diaz! Yeah, we were able to hang in and take it. I stretched my bullpen, and probably pushed a couple guys longer than I should have, but I saved K-Rod for the end. Barton was their last pitcher, didn't have anyone left to pitch and he ended up throwing 50 some pitches and killed his arm.

Wow, and you don't even have Giancarlo Stanton on your team. You should try to get him and go for an even 30.

(Yeah, I'm a little bitter right now. Damn Marlins.)

I don't think I would sit between Martinez and Jones in their dugout.

sounds like that Cubs-Yankees recent 18 inning marathon (48 Ks combined between them)

may want to check league K total at end of year and compare to the League Total for K's...

if more than 10% above/below, may want to auto-calc.

i guess it's possible 1-9 terrible at avoid k's could get that result... i'd look into both possible causes, lol.

27 isn't typically possible anywhere near modern MLB environment. (which may not be a good comparison to your league... not a judgement or assumption by any means.)
