re: Schimpf called up to Angels and first hit there is HR

So that means his next 10 AB's will be K's

I know you're getting rained with downvotes, but Schimpf was 0/16 with 11 strikeouts in spring training this year and was 0/9 with 5 strikeouts in AAA before being called up. And he had 2 strikeouts in this game to go along with the homerun he hit. Love the guy, but his K rate has gotten out of control since early last year. He hit .158 last year with 14 HRs in 165 ABs and struck out 70 times. For his MLB career, he's struck out 177 times in 444 ABs.
