I would guess there are about 100 more AB's in the last 7 than there were in the first 7, which would explain having "more" strikeouts. I would bet the strikeout rate is much lower

I guess Ks sometimes don't make that much difference.

They don't make a difference when you hit two grand slams a game. They're like GIDP...when you're scoring 12 runs and sending 50 guys to the plate, a couple of GIDP are better than only having three base runners. It's all about context.

I would guess there are about 100 more AB's in the last 7 than there were in the first 7, which would explain having "more" strikeouts. I would bet the strikeout rate is much lower

There are still only 27 outs in a game, whether they are on strikeouts or caught stealings. The ratio of K/AB might be better, but they're still making a higher percentage of outs via the strikeout. Still, keep slugging, keep scoring, and no one will complain. They could strike out 20 times a game, every game, but if they scored 15 runs in between, I'd be happy as shit.

Strikeouts were up early last season too.

The steal % will improve, right?

It would be a bit hard to decrease it.
