Angels vs. Rays Game 1 Gamethread

August 4, 2025

This is the series that was supposed to be in Tampa at the beginning of the year and was flip flopped. So, the Angels are now at home for a really long homestand after starting the year on a really long road trip.

For the season, 300 AB’s, 109 K’s. 36%. Time for Mike to learn to hit again.

You have to factor in the walks when calculating strike out rate. I think.

I think the K rate is 30% when his 58 walks are factored in.

109 K’s divided by 358 plate appearances = 30% .Still too high but, not 36% high.

Aren’t walks already included in plate appearances, or did you mean at bats? Mike has 300 AB but 368 PA (58 BB, 5 HBP, 5 SF) so his SO percentage is 109/368 = 29.6%.
