Yankees had bases loaded no out and scored one run while striking out twice. The Jays scored 4 runs, no home runs, NO strikeouts B7. Contact is a GOOD thing. Strike outs ARE bad.

I guess that contact is good line depends on if you're pitching the ball, or standing in the box.

What you meant to say is "not all outs are equal." You're welcome.

True.
Sometimes a fly ball out is worse than a strikeout.
Other times a strikeout is worse than a fly ball out.
Yet other times, a groundball out is far worse than either.
Or better.
And a ground ball out to the shortstop can be worse than a ground ball out to first base - and vice versa.
Ultimately, only the run production matters.
