A strikeout doesn't move a runner. And when he had those 199 k's, how many times was the game on the line? Any guy can hit 50 hrs and have 150 rbis, how many of those runs won the game, and how many k's lost the game?
The last couple of years, it seemed that when there were 2 strikes on him, he knew he was out with the next pitch. Hopefully, he's overcome that.
