The Cards, Cubs, and Pirates all walk LESS than the Brewers and the Reds have only walked 3 more times. Apparently hackin' on 2-0 is just playin' NL Central style ball. <BR/><BR/>Again, I'm not like Mench's mom or anything, but the only counter-point to the "Mench ain't walkin'" argument is that he has the highest batting average on the team w/ RISP. He goes out there to get RBI's, and so far this year he's done that at a higher clip than anyone else. It's guys like Gross, Weeks, and Miller (who are all batting sub .200 w/ RISP) that should be taking more pitches in my opinion. I guess I'm fine with Mench swingin', and I'd hack too if I only played twice a month.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275727040983261898.post-9680203801641677042007-06-21T14:59:00.000-05:002007-06-21T14:59:00.000-05:00Kevin Mench just needs one walk to reach the miles...Kevin Mench just needs one walk to reach the milestone of 1 unintentional walk this year.

I hope that happens here; it'd be a shame for him to get that on the road. <BR/><BR/>(I'm not bagging on Estrada, it was just listed in the Brewer's press release from yesterday and I thought it was hilarious.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
