Narron not the source of Dunn bunt

[M2]

Oh yeah. Walks are what the pitcher gives you sir. Not what the batter sees. Granted he must take the walk by using his "good eyes." But he does so because the pitcher either (A) cannot find the plate or (B) feels he will fair far better situtatinally with the hitter after him, or (C) the ump is not agreeing with him (something out of the pitchers control)! Bottom line walks are taken with more frequence by those who are patient (Scott Hatteberg) or with those who are feared and pitched around (Dunn). Not that he doesnt have patience which he does just not with that itch to bunt I guess! HAHA

Anyways, walks are also called "Free passes." They are much more "free" than earned.

If that last bit were right then hitter BBs would be totally random. Instead what you could learn if you actually paid nearly as much attention to the stats as you claim you do (not to mention the past 140 years of baseball history) is that some hitters consistently draw more BBs than others. It's as simple as some hitters know the strike zone and others don't. I'd think a supposed traditionalist would get that as it has nothing to do with stats and everything to do with taking a good approach to the plate.

Once again, your powers of observation on "HOW" to play the game have come up short. I suggest that rather than continue to flail around in this thread while misinterpreting pretty much everything that's been said to you and putting on an exhibition of exactly how little of this game you understand, you calm down and listen.
