56 minutes ago56 min He walked three in four innings tonight. I know it's one night.So let's look at how he did in the big leagues when he was up.44 innings with 21 walks. Good for 4.26/9. Not great. From what I remember, guys were able to foul balls off, extend at-bats, thus leading to more walks. Edited 55 minutes ago55 min by kwill
