What happened to the Cleveland Indians?
For all you baseball experts, since I am not...

All the walks...Why?

I can see walking a batter once the bases are full...

You wouldn't want to risk a home run and have everybody come home!

But why the walks in the first place?

x(

:wtf:

:banghead:

And yes, I am taking tonight off from doing my midterm...

1. I did not watch the game closely
but I am certain that some of the walks were not intentional. If first base is empty and there is a big hitter at the plate, conventional wisdom says to walk the guy to get to the next batter.

2. It was really frustrating...
They filled the bases twice, IIRC, and then the runs would come in!

Oh well...there's always tomorrow!

3. It's simple...
...they folded like a cheap lawn chair. Not that I saw the game. Just conjecturing. :hi: Peggy.

4. My dear From The Ashes!
Well, I'd agree about the early innings...

But later on, they seemed to regain some of their spunk...

Oh well...

:hi: backatcha, sweetie!
