FIRE JOE MORGAN: The War Against The War Against Strikeouts

Comments:

Follow-up, of sorts, from the Olney chat today:

Sky (The Roc, NY): Buster, I enjoy everything you write and listening to you on the radio. But I have to call your use of Howard's 2003 strikeout total as evidence of a hole in his swing and then neglecting to mention his 2006 strikeout total...

Buster Olney: Sky -- In two years, with the adjustments, he made in his swing, he went from a Class AA question mark to NL MVP, hitting .355 in the second half, with a .751 slugging percentage and a .509 OBP. If you want to shoot holes in that with his strikeout total, that's your call.

Now I'm really confused. He didn't answer the question, right? (Or the statement, or whatever.)

Hard to pin this whole thing on Buster. Who knows who writes those frontpage teasers?

Anyway. Strikeouts: not that bad.
