[QUOTE="leatherneckjacket, post: 1009998, member: 3849"] As the pitching team, you generally do not want to walk a batter unless it creates a force out situation or a significant matchup advantage. Further, the pitching team has the odds in their favor regardless if the batter makes contact or not. Getting a hit is tough. But when it happens, it is better if there are fewer baserunners. Walks lead to more baserunners, which will lead to more runs. Anyway, nothing will drive a manager crazier than walking batters with a big lead. I would even think they would tolerate an extra base hit, including a home run, if the pitcher throws strikes with a big lead. In that case, they may think a walk is worse than an extra base hit. You are trying to get outs. Walks prevent outs, Throwing strikes gets outs. [/QUOTE]
