Is there a stat out there for teams and lead-off "on base" allowed (walks or hits), we seem to do it a lot more than the teams we play. Perhaps it just because we're not as much of a threat to plate that lead-off runner, and our opposition can count on our pitchers throwing at least a few 58', so maybe I'm wrong.

Do you think he wanted to walk him? Or that he was lazy, or didn't care, or just shrugged and went "oh well, I walked him, whatevs"

Jesus, pete

You certainly are fired up. I like it!

He's not been solid. He got spectacular plays at the wall from Cain and Gordon just to name a few plays that bailed him out in both games.

HTF do you even walk the first hitter of the game in the ****ing World Series??

Exactly.

Was thinking the same, but your brain thinks first softer you get the second out

FTR, I didn't ban you from the game thread the other night. Please ask before just accusing me. I'll be honest about it.

Want has nothing to do with it.

Ok boys in blue lets score some runs .

Don't buy it.

Royals were getting good wood on Bumgarner in game 1.

You never know. It's almost 40 feet further to go from 2nd to home than 2nd to first.

Literally and figuratively? He must be talking about humping.

man rough start

Leaf-off walks, that's why people get pissed.

Then we answer with lazy rollers to a shifted in-field!
