Nothing wrong with walks and strikeouts but aren't hits given up by a pitcher just as important as the number of walks he gave up??? Okay, I'll compromise, include both hits allowed and walks allowed. I just wanted to cut down the clutter and just call it WHIPs. Plus WHIPs, Batting Averages, On base Percentage are easy ways to compare players. Just saying a pitcher pitched 149 innings and gave up 43 walks on that pop up screen really doesn't tell me very much about effective he's been.
