I think walks are overrated unless you can run. If you get a walk and put the pitcher in a stretch, that helps, but the guy who walks and can’t run, most of the time he’s clogging up the bases for somebody who can run. – Dusty Baker.
Dusty thinks it is better for slow guys to make an out than to walk. I hate those runners who clog the bases on HRs. It would help the offense if all their HRs were solo shots.
Yeah ... I think I know more than John Baker, notwithstanding his years as a player and manager.
