I never understood the concept of automatically walking someone, like back in the day, Ryan Howard, just because you don’t want “that guy” to be the one to beat you. Well, if you walk him, you’re just increasing the scoring opportunity for that same team.
Barry Bonds....120 times in 2004
would you rather face a guy hitting 360 with big time power with 2 on and 2 out, or the next guy that is hitting 275 with less power and a higher strike out ratio
that said, i would not walk him with the bases loaded, although that happened a few times
No one has a higher strike out ratio than Ryan Howard (actually I have no clue, just had to say it)
Bonds was the first one I thought of. But there is NO guarantee he's going to beat you, so I don't get it being automatic
I understand the odds, but it's still not a guarantee
i hear ya, but if given the choice of faceing one of the most dangerous hitters ever in his prime, vs. a avg hitter, i'd pocket the differnce in averages and face the weaker guy in a game winning situation.
I say do whatever it take to get a hit, all the time.
I dont even agree with lightening up when there's a blow-out. play hard all the time I say, and when you're on fire, take advantage. Embarrass the other team, I dont care.
I totally agree. When those Canadian and US hockey teams catch shit for crushing some horrible team 25 - 2, I get pissed off. Athletes should be playing their best ALL the time, especially during big tournaments or series. If the opponents are so pathetic that they get humiliated, that's their problem.

If buying groceries, only buy what you can carry in on 1 trip from the car to the house.
How many trips to the store do you make a week???
I actually am the "cook" in the house and it is one of the things I love to do....so I go almost every day. Fresh for dinner almost all of the time. The picture below is not me but it could be.
That, however, does not apply to Home Depot, the Liquor Store or other places I might go.
what if you buy beer at the grocery store? are you allowed to make a second trip for that stuff :corn:
Believe it or not but they dont sell beer at the frigging grocery store in NJ. Huge shock from when I moved here last year.
Yes, I break rules with a disconcerting regularity when it comes to booze!
In a line of urinals dont take the one next to someone if you can leave an open/unused urinal in between.

Don't touch me while I am taking a leak. I have one friend who thinks this is funny. I do not.

Wife buys TP and other shit like that from Costco, where I do not go unless I am buying booze or electronics.
