Walk, advance on a fly out, steal, wild pitch. Sure, why not get a run that way?

ideally one's WHIP should be as close as possible to one's ERA, yes?

I mean, you both want them to be low but I don't see how this figures. You could have a high WHIP but low ERA if you're good at stranding runners. WHIP would be equal to ERA if 1/9 of your allowed base runners scored, right?

I spent all morning listening to impoverished people crying about parking tickets in Federal court; all numbers are meaningless to me.

I was reading today that his HR/FB rate is ~7%, and that's before those shots today. I very much doubt that has anything to do with Butler limiting hard contact.
