honestly I think that if Atl. were in a tighter pennat race you would have seen walk,but since they are 12 games up I guess they decided to let someone try to get him out.I don't know but I personally would walk him about any time he came to bat unless the bases were loaded , and even then would consider it.He is killing the ball right right now and even though I don't like the dude imo he is the MVP in the majers right now.I had SF last night and I couldn't believe they pitched to him but was glad they did.
