Machado is one of the easiest players in the MLB to strike out.

When did I make that argument? You are putting words in my mouth. I am just saying that striking out 3 and letting one of the easiest hitters in the MLB to strike out hit a double off of you is not a great indicator of how good you are.

I take it you haven’t played baseball at a high level then. It is always easier to hit off of pitchers when you know their tendencies. It’s no accident that the game is completely stat-driven.

That’s when facing pitchers from the MLB that they have tons of stats on. Not surprising that the struggled against a pitcher they have never faced.

Edit: this article title also conveniently leaves out that he gave up a double to one of the easiest players in the MLB to strike out in that same inning.
