Actually, an increase in walks means a decrease in outs by contact
The denominator for K% is batters faced, not outs
Let's get detailed again.
A pitcher faces 100 batters
In instance 1 the pitcher gets 25 strike outs. K%=25
In instance 2 the pitcher gets 25 strike outs. K%=25
In instance 1 the pitcher walks 15 batters. BB%=15
In instance 2 the pitcher walks 10 batters. BB%=10
In both instances the pitcher gives up 20 hits and all other batters were out.
In instance 1 the pitcher recorded 65 outs. 25 of the outs were by strike out. 25/65 = 38%
In instance 2 the pitcher recorded 70 outs. 25 of the outs were by strike out. 25/70 = 36%
An increase in walk rate results in a decrease in outs by contact.
What, in your expert opinion, did Greinke do differently in July than he did in May and June?
Here are the numbers again:
MAY: K%=31.7, BB%=4.2, BABIP=.349, Left On Base%=58.8, ERA=5.29
JUNE: K%=27.8, BB%=4.8, BABIP=.350, Left On Base%=51.7, ERA=6.04
JULY: K%=33.6, BB%=7.0, BABIP=.271, Left On Base%=74.1, ERA=2.27
Higher walk percentage in July. Without even researching i'd say more forceouts and double plays...CONTACT.
You're intellectual level must be well beyond mine, or something. I have no idea what you are saying.
He struck out his highest percentage in July. What does that have to do with contact, er CONTACT
It might behoove you to do a little research from time to time before you post. Just a thought.
Don't ever question my intellect. If you have to constantly quote someone elses figures and formulas without using a simple process of elimination, it proves you have no common sense or a mind of your own.

In that none of us compile any baseball stats, but rather rely on information found published on the net or in newspapers which was compiled by others, it is now proven that none of us have any common sense or minds of our own.
And, oh....was the warning about questioning your intellect meant to apply only to filihok, or is it off limits for all posters? What are your methods for enforcing this doctrine?

There could not have been any greater response than this. Bravo!
I'm sure that this is what Newton really meant to say. Damn political correctness.
Clearly, yours is the superior intellect, as I cannot begin to fathom how a simple process of elimination applies to this situation.
I figured i'd break it down to simple terms for you.
Well, in my defense, it was as I had assumed all along. You just make **** up
