What is the difference between a strike and a strike out?

Answer 1

A strike is based on the workers refusing to work in an effort to accomplish financial and personal gains from their employers.

A lockout is basically the other way around. The employers refuse the workers the opportunity to work in an effort to force financial redirection and compliance.

NFL -- A lockout is caused by the owners standing together against the players, whereas a strike is the players standing together refusing to play.

Either way, both sides are trying to accomplish goals based on their own needs, and or, wants.

Answer 2

In Baseball and softball, a strike is a pitch that is swung at and missed by the batter. It goes through the batter's strike zone and the catcher catches it.

A strikeout, however, is a result of three strikes. When someone strikes out, they have obtained three strikes without getting on base. They are considered out at that point.
