third of his 11-year career, with the other two occurring as a member of the Twins in 2006 and 2008.\u00a0 After striking out in 12.7% of his at-bats during the regular season\u2014his career mark is 16.3%\u2014Punto has struck out in 11 of his 21 at-bats this postseason.<\/p>\n<p>Most importantly, Punto\u2019s postseason sombrero gives me a chance to drop this graphic once again:<\/p>\n<p
