  3. Which means there are only two qualified batters without a walk: Harold Ramirez and Jose Caballero.

  8. Was that actually a slider? If so, you gotta throw those things like a mile off the plate for him to swing at it… not below the zone!

  11. I love how he’s so bad at the plate and then two innings later he makes a Highlight of the Week throw to first.

  13. lol not often I have to watch a video of a walk, but had to see how close the take was.

  16. I love Javy but dude at a certain point don’t you think “I’m striking out on pitches two feet off the plate, maybe I should just get up there and not swing”

  19. Meanwhile the 5 outs Gray had recorded to this point were K’s, so it makes sense that Baez didn’t strike out.

  21. I was listening to the game on the radio and caught this AB. A couple of pitches before this one, our radio guy was wondering out loud as to why anyone would ever throw Baez a pitch in the zone.

  22. It looks like that pitch was exactly where the catcher was set up as well. I’m sure pitchers have stopped throwing him strikes knowing he’s just going to swing at everything.

  27. This video of Javy Baez drawing a walk [58 comments] currently sits above an insane Javy Baez defensive highlight [47 comments] on the r/baseball front page

    lmao

  28. His 207th career walk here in year 11 of his career. Over a decade in the league and his career total still hasn’t matched the number of walks Bonds achieved in just the 2004 season.

  31. A matchup I would’ve loved to see:

    Carlos Marmol vs Javy Baez. His last year as a Cub Marmol seemingly couldn’t get his slider in the same zip code as the strike zone, and Javy can’t tell that a pitch would easily go behind a LH hitter.

    Who would break first?
