Because frankly, seeing my favorite baseball player get walked that many times just aggravates me. And it's not even that, really, it's the fact that the person behind him doesn't produce, just hits into a double play.

As a manager your job rests on the fact that you have to win and win now. Its a what have you done for me lately profession. The above quote is why he gets walked. The batter behind Bonds is not feared. I would walk him every time if the game was close. As for the unintentional intentional, well that is normally caused by pitchers being to carfeul when pitching to him. They try to nibble and hope to get a call go their way. If not, its no big deal to see him jog down to first. I want to win so I am going to do whatever I can to ensure that. Pitching to Bonds is different than pitching to Big Mac because Mac had a bigger swing that left some holes. Plus Bonds hits for a better avg. Walks of both variaties have been around for years. Its part of the game and should stay that way.

Tucker has been great lately, but not good enough to prevent Bonds from getting walked. The only way the intentional walks are going to stop is if Magowan (isn't he the Giants owner) shells out some cash to get a good hitter (which isn't going to happen,) or the league does something to stop the intentional walks. Unintentional or not, the main issue is four pitch walks. If a pitcher 4-pitch walks a hitter twice in the same game, it's probably intentional. If there's a penalty for 4-pitch walking a hitter twice in a game, then at least Bonds will get 2-3 pitches to hit every game. And that's all Bonds needs.

While i don't think they should chicken out and walk him all the time what makes me mad is when they intentionaly walk him in the 1st inning.

I don't care how many times he walks. It doesn't make me mad at all. I'd like to see pitchers throw at that huge elbow guard of his. That would be a more exciting way to walk him. Then we could see "Crybaby Bonds" get all bent out of shape because he got hit.

I second that. It is about time somebody gave that armor a test and meet intimidation with intimidation.
