4-pitch leadoff walk after being given the lead

I missed all the fun.

6-4 good guys

[todd-parker]

remember when they had golf cart type vehicles deliver the relief pitcher to the mound?

Was it Charley Finley who started that golf cart thing?

4-pitch leadoff walk after being given the lead

Just setting up the GIDP.

The 4-pitch walk is the most efficient walk... except the blatantly intentional one.

7 pitches and done for McGreevy.

thx for the link.
that was interesting

[craviduce]

As for Church, I like him, but he's fine 9th in the lineup. Until he can start taking a walk and stop pressing at the plate, no leadoff for him

0 walks so far in his very young career

edit ~ now a 1 pitch out in his next AB

[cardstatman]

Church looked safe to me on gameday...

Thanks for the link, it goes all the way back to 1951.

like I said....just a thought

Small sample size but I like Church over Scott. I think he has more upside as a hitter but I've been wrong before.

Isn’t ties suppose to go to the runner? He was safe!

[cardstatman]

Leadoff walk to the .514 OPS guy

[todd-parker]

Oh, Walker

There must be conclusive evidence to overturn. When it's that close, the call will always stand.
