Wrong Side Walks

The Indians defeat the Yankees 4-3 on a Victor Martinez single in the ninth. New York pitchers issued nine walks in the game. I'm not sure which is stranger, that Yankees pitchers allowed that many walks or that the Indians only managed four runs with that many men on base.

The Yankees offense only walked once the whole game. This is quite a turnaround for New York. During the Torre era, they often were near the top of the league in walks drawn and walks allowed, as they did very well in the Beane Count. It wasn't until 2006 that the walks issued started to rise, and now the walks drawn are falling. This doesn't bode well for the team's prospects this season.
