I think it's important to put the ball in play. Fly outs and ground outs often advance runners and score runs. It's a part of the game.
Strikeouts lead to nothing but killed rallies. Yes, I know home runs are way up, but IMO the sheer number of strikeouts are unacceptable. And I realize there are those who say it doesn't matter. That's fine. As a fan watching games , I find strikeouts boring.
