Colorado Rockies: David Dahl needs to cut down on the Ks

For the last week and half, the Colorado RockiesDavid Dahl has been in a bit of slump. In the last 11 games, dating back to April 26, he is 7-for 38 (.184) with a home run, 5 RBI, and seven runs scored, dropping his batting average from .361 to .303. More importantly, he has struck out in 10 of 11 of those games (with the lone exception being Tuesday night’s pinch-hit appearance when he walked) for a total of 14 strikeouts. To steal a line from Drew Goodman, “For those keeping score at home,” that is twice as many strikeouts than hits for a strikeout rate of 37 percent in that span.
