Walks No Problem

With three walks and one strikeout through five today, Fausto Carmona goes to 34 walks and 15 strikeouts on the season, a K/BB less than 1/2. The broadcast noted, however, that only three of those 34 walks came around to score this year. One reason is he leads the league with 14 GDP's induced, including one today. He's a Casey Stengel pitcher. Casey didn't mind pitchers who walked a lot of batters as long as they induced ground balls and took them off with double plays.

I want to see Roy Halladay and Carmona pitch against each other. Doc forces you to put the ball in play, into the fantastic defense the Jays put out.

BTW, have there ever been a set of double headers in which there were 2 runs scored between them? The Indians just took a seemingly insurmountable 1-0 lead. The evening game has a chance to be a 1-0 game too.
