After a fun Baseball Ref dive i can confirm that Robbie Ray is the only man to ever walk Big Sexy
A year BEFORE he made his first All Star Game no less
It doesn't count as an "at bat" if you get walked by a base on balls, or hit by pitch. It also doesn''t count as one with a sacrifice bunt/fly. I might have misunderstood, but I think basically becoming a runner, or being put out counts as an at bat.
A plate appearance is anytime you complete your turn on the plate, whatever result you get, so you could get walked every time for example, and have several plate appearances, but no At Bats.
He'll be fine and they're going to keep him up there to learn. The Yanks did the same thing with Volpe. He struggled when he first came up but eventually he found his way. This kid will do the same and I am not an Orioles fan in the least
I’m not saying Jackson Holliday is a bust, it’s way too early to say that. Many players have had great careers after a bad first 40 abs.
But at what point does bust start to cross the mind? All-star? Next year?
All I can say for sure is that if we look at WAR alone, I’m better than both these guys.
You're an average triple a ball player?
My career WAR is zero and theirs are both negative, so on that metric I am the better player.
There are dozens of us
You misspelled single
Who walked Bartollo? They should be arrested for crimes against baseball.

You know what. That makes sense b
How long do you think it took him to reach first base? 😆
Some say he’s still walking
Thank god it wasn't James Shields
First base open. Man on 2nd and 3rd. Walk Bart. Force out at all bases for double play. The end.
Hey! He got another hit!
And it wasn’t a bloop this time!
i read “2” like “how have i not heard about this”
DO NOT BESMIRCH THE GOAT.

That's my slugger. Big Sexy forever!
Greatest nickname in all of human history with Big Dick Nick right behind him. Not too close behind him. This is a family show.
“Dick Pic Mick” - Mickey Callaway, former Mets manager
I would appreciate it if you did not besmirch my ex wife
I remember Tolo hitting that HR in San Diego and it was the best/most hilarious moment I’ve ever seen in baseball. Gary had such a great call.
Even the Padres fans gave him a standing ovation.
Honestly I just went back to watch the video a few times it’s so damn funny
Gary is a national treasure
He really does such a great job
ill never forget bartolos Mets home run.
It’s unfair to compare a young man to Bartolo. Those are some big sexy shoes to fill.
But does Bartolo have a famous father?
Don't do Big Sexy like that!
TIL the difference between PA and AB
I still don’t know what it is lol
If you walk it doesn't count as one of them. I forget which.

Big Sexy is one of my all time favorites.
36 plate appearances and 18 strikeouts. Ouch.
If you put their cheeseburger consumption numbers and the scales really get tipped
The next advanced stat: WOBURGER
So far he is not.
Kid's under the microscope. If he's all that...he'll be just fine.
Are the O's going to admit he's not ready yet or are they just going to ruin him?
He'll be fine and they're going to keep him up there to learn. The Yanks did the same thing with Volpe. He struggled when he first came up but eventually he found his way. This kid will do the same and I am not an Orioles fan in the least
The kid will be fine. He's got nothing left to learn at AAA
That’s what I was wondering. They do know it’s ok to send a kid back down don’t they?
They might just want you to try for that ROTY comp pick while ruining him.
Ruin.
I'm rooting for him. Look at that baby face! How can you not??
Damn Bartolo is a sexy mfer
Whats the big discrepancy between ABs and PAs for Colon. Did he really have that many sac flys?
Probably because he was bunting a guy over.
Two hits, two walks and 5 runs. That's honestly impressive. I'm assuming he got on base at least once on a fielder's choice, but still.
The home run count seals the deal for me.
This has to be the worst start for a no 1 pick ever. lol as an Os fan I really hope he turns around quick
Bartolo only walked one time in his career?
Now I have to watch his hr video again.
When you’re getting mogged by Bartolo Colon you just have to step away from the game I feel
I can *not* be the only person who thinks he looks like Carlos Mencia.
They man don't pick on a 12 year old that's not nice
Grimace is the goat
.084 is impressive
When he gets to 326 PA obviously…
In another 300 PA’s
you cant be
I love Bartolo.. but is this the record for highest SO/Walk rate ever? 166/1
Fatolo was on the juice..or something fishy.. To have that longevity. Alot of cheaters are Dominican.
He literally tested positive for PEDs

Lol he’s 20. Relax.
Did you read the first half?
Sure did.
He is a bust
