Astros Can Win with Home Runs and Strikeouts
This past offseason, Astros GM Jeff Luhnow made some moves that made Astros fans scratch their heads trying to figure out why. In 2014, the Astros had 1,442 strikeouts, leading the American League in strikeouts and fell short to the Chicago Cubs in all of MLB. This season, the Astros are leading the majors in strikeouts with 222 strikeouts on the young season. I tabbed these Astros players Generation K earlier in the offseason, here is Part 1 and Part II. Generation K was not present in last night’s game because the Astros struck out only four times in an 11-4 blowout win.
