    The Walk

    Walks = Good

    Now fight amongst yourselves, but do it here instead of polluting every thread with nonsense.
    Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.

    A win for the batter, not the average fan.

    I enjoy watching Votto more than any hitter in my lifetime. Maybe that means I'm not average?

    Might want to run this thought by Marty. Caught the 1st inning of his act today, and he is clearly going to poison the well with regard to Votto's BB rate. He is a consummate narrative setter for the banana phone set. I cringed listening to him.

    More men on base usually = more wins. Why is that not a win for the average fan?
