Barry Bonds is in a class by himself! You can argue Pujols, Edmonds, or whomever is the League MVP, but your argument is taunt at best! Barry Bonds is in a class by himself. Bonds will end up with more walks, than any major leaguer has hits by the end of the season! Well maybe Ichiro may get more hits than Bonds get walks but that is another story! Would it be fair to walk Ichiro so he can't surpass the most hits in a season? Absolutely not!
Maybe League Baseball should jump in and tell all teams not in playoff contention to give the fans their monies worth and pitch to him! It's ridiculous that Bonds getS walked by Colorado, Arizona and the bottom dwellers when these teams have no place to go. At a recent series in Arizona, the Arizona fans had nothing to cheer for as the Diamondbacks have lost 100 games, so they PAY to see BONDS hit, not Arizona to walk him numerous times!!
Every time someone walks Bonds now while the Giants are on the road, the home team, boo's their home team! Can you even imagine how many more homers or hits he may get if teams didn't walk him? Or what his batting average may be if they pitch to him? Pujols yuck, Edmonds yuck, AROD yuck! People PAY big dollars to see this man play! I can understand teams that are in playoff contention walking him with runners on base, but do they have to walk him with no one on and no one out leading off an inning? C'mon let's play baseball people!
This guy like him or not, is the best player to ever play the game! We want to see the challenge between the pitchers and BONDS, after all he has hit 413 homers off different pitchers in his career. Hats off to the Randy Johnson's and Greg Maddux's who challenge him! YOUR PATHETIC goes out, to the managers who let no name pitchers walk him. After all this is baseball, America's passtime!
I feel that while the Giants are on the road and in playoff contention, the manager of San Francisco should bat BONDS in the leadoff spot, then let's see just how many managers will lead off a game with a walk and see just how many teams will pitch to him!
