The category is in every box score. Was it too negative for the feel good crowd?

No, they are far too easy to predict for hitters.  There are many stats in a box score.  When we have well over 100 participants in this game, and 162 eligible games to predict, that's a lot of scoring.  Most people are very baseball smart on this website, I think they are ready for the challenge of predicting stats that take a little more thought.  Considerable thought was put into the 2013 rule changes to make it more interesting and challenging;  example, adding in relief pitching.  Failure is rampant in baseball and easier to predict, especially strikeouts for hitters.
