For fun,

In 2004 Barry Bonds walked 232 times.
But 120 of them were intentional walks.

Let’s say Bonds had zero intentional walks. Unrealistic, but for shyts and giggles.

That leaves him with 112 legit walks, which is still elite. That’s about how many walks an MVP has in a given year.

So what about those 120 intentional walks that become ABs now?

Well in 2004, Bonds averaged 1 HR every 8.29 ABs.

So 120 divided by 8.29 means about 14 more HR. And he hit 45 that year so he might have hit 59 HR…at age 39. In only 147 games.

And by the way, Bonds hit 4th in the lineup. It’s not like these days where typically Ohtani and Judge hit 2nd to maximize their ABs each year.

Bonds never had a 700 PA season. Ohtani had 731 last year.

He threw Ohtani under the bus twice. 1st on striking out and then the steal in the 6th inn. I like it, but he may get fired:mjlol:

no way he threw ohtani under the bus

his terrible managing has led to way too many losses:pacspit:
Dave a real n1gga, he tired of Jap Ruth shyt.

Why is he attempting a steal to 3rd with Freddie coming up. He was already good on 2nd. And it was 2 outs. I was blaming Dave for that dumb shyt.

why is that bytch dave roberts giving will smith a green light on 3-0 when will been 0fer for the past few games

why he bringing in that bum conforto and giving him a green light in 3-1 when that pitcher wasnt even throwing any strikes

not only that
but why tf are you having these players do sacrifice bunts WHEN THE FUKKING PITCHER ISNT THROWING ANY STRIKES

why he pull out glasnow when he was dealing?

why he bring in 3 different pitchers only for them pitchers to go 1/3 each

why he putting blake in a high leverage situation when blake been trash since he came back especially when the division lead is only 3 games

you cant put the blame on shohei when he hit a bomb and was on base 3 times today… not his fault the rest couldnt pull there weight and bring him in
Is he expected to save the dodgers every single time?

really bytchass dave overmanaging cost the game
call it like it is
