That's true enough, but it really doesn't even suggest a trend or a strong correlation. Alternatively, you say......... CUBS are 5-1 when draw 8 walks or more CUBS are 8-8 when they draw 4-7 walks CUBS are 9-6 when they draw fewer than 4 walks. If there's really a trend hiding in there somewhere, it will show itself as the season wears on, and the sample size increases.

Might need to bump up the threshold here Fred... these ain't Dusty's CUBS no more! As a matter of fact, I have been thinking about that idea, but from the data so far this year, no obvious cutoff point is jumping out at me here....... Team record by number of walks taken CUBS are 0-2 when they take 0 walks CUBS are 1-0 when they take 1 walks CUBS are 4-1 when they take 2 walks CUBS are 4-3 when they take 3 walks CUBS are 1-3 when they take 4 walks CUBS are 2-2 when they take 5 walks CUBS are 2-2 when they take 6 walks CUBS are 3-1 when they take 7 walks CUBS are 2-1 when they take 8 walks CUBS are 1-0 when they take 9 walks CUBS are 1-0 when they take 10 walks CUBS are 1-0 when they take 11 walks CUBS are 0-0 when they take 12 walks

Agreed Thanx for the kind words !! :D
