Well, it helps when your closer walks in the tying run.

For Who? My teammates.

For What? To Win.

How Much? Where do I sign?

Agreed.

Can someone explain why major league pitchers walk so many guys? Is it that hard to throw strikes? You can almost predict the winner depending on how many walks!

You can't be serious

Any major league pitcher, except Daniel Cabrera (yeah, OK, he’s not really a major league pitcher), could probably throw 90+% strikes if he wanted to. And hitters would probably crush 75% of them.
