Was it Charley Finley who started that golf cart thing?

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

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

Church looked safe to me on gameday...

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.

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