Who Gets Credit/Blame for a K? Both Involved.

Thanks to David Pinto (of Baseball Musings) for answering a question that I had on strikeouts. I'm providing a link to what David had to say on the matter - since some here may find it interesting as well.

David's findings: "Strikeouts are a collaboration between pitchers and batters, and there's no reason to give one more credit than the other."

I laughed out loud at the one comment posted at Baseball Musings, to David's post, from "Alex Rodriguez" that said:

This is Steve, who seems to have a personal vendetta against A-rod, trying to manipulate stats in a way that makes Alex Rodriguez, the future Hall of Famer, look bad. Steve is the leader of a group of Yankee fans who don't like ARod despite 35 HR, 120 RBi and a .290/.392/.523 line in a so-called off year. It's getting to be f***ing ridiculous. Don't give him this free publicity for his crappy theories.

Gee, I hope my question, which had nothing to do with A-Rod, doesn't get me blacklisted from any future sleep-overs at the Rodriguez house!

Poor Steve. Looks like you are forever banned from invitations to Alex's sleepovers at the Neverland Ranch. Maybe if you offer $3500 he will give you a 30 second audience with himself so you can grovel.

It seems the ARod Police are everywhere beating down anyone not worshipping and fawning over his every breath.

Yeah, that was a bit out of LF... But notice that no one paid, let's call him "Rlex Aodriguez" any mind.
