But this tinkering around the edges doesn't seem to be helping much. As an O's fan I am very sensitive to the increase in strike outs as they lead the league in them. But I get the reason why. The calculus is that its easier to hit a home run than to put together three singles facing guys throwing in the high 90's. And hitting home runs has a lot to do with the angle (Loft) of the swing which makes hitting singles less likely. [/QUOTE]
