That was a great 1,000 words in 100 words, amigo...Paxton's walks -- I mean, at a certain point 9 K's in 5 innings drag along with them 3-4 walks. If nobody ever makes contact, and with the minor league umps, the deep counts are going to result in a few BB's. Lincecum was similar in college. But as soon as he got better umps, and the hitters started defending themselves a little better, wham, the BB's were gone.Wonder what the holdup is with getting Paxton into AA ... it would have been seriously counterproductive to make Lincecum pitch to babies...
