Very similar games.
I don't see the fascination with Ks. They are nice to see, but they aren't necessary. It's good to have when you're in deep trouble, but if you never let yourself get in trouble, you don't need it in order to succeed.

K's are important because they give you an out with a guarantee that no runners will move up on the out. That's a huge deal. If you can promise a defense that they will make an out with no base runners advancing, they'll take it every single time.
