Very true, but high walks totals/rates has been a staple of the Larry Rothschild/Jim Hendry era with Cubs pitchers. It's just an exaggerated version of more of the same. High walks totals/rates have been a staple of the Chicago CUBS pitchers for over 50 years now.

Take heart..... it's 6.63 if you take out Vizcaino's numbers. :wink:

In partial defense of our pitchers.... walks seem to be up this year all over MLB. I wonder if they've put some pressure on the umpires to call the strike zone as it's described in the rules ???? If that were the case, shouldn't walks be down? The called zone is tighter than the rule book zone. But if they cut out the outside without calling the high strike (which they're certainly not calling) then the zone shrinks correct. but the cubs are either worst or second worst in MLB in walks per 9 IP, so even if walks are up league-wide, the cubs are still issuing too many walks relative to the rest of the league. Correct. This is why I said "In partial defense......"
