Johnny throwing fastballs all the way to Abreu, but it's a 3-1 count.

Johnny, if you walk him you walk him. Don't groove it.

Overall OPS since the start of 2010 v. lefties is around .840.

Yeah, that's actually very, very good.
It's a little misleading. He had an amazing 2010 season where he OPS'd .900 against lefties. He has since, not come close to that. 2011, he finished with .804. This year, his OPS against lefties is .786.

I'd rather he had walked him once he had 3 balls on Abreu.

That's probably first and third without the balk.
