Kyle Blanks season OPS: .840.

Why the intentional walk? (I didn't see, so I'm asking sincerely - wasn't sure if it was a nibble first, walk later situation)<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

to create a force at any base, and because the runner at first was meaningless. Also, you can't really base decisions on the OPS derived from 120 total at bats in the majors.

Yeah, but Kouzmanoff has sucked all season. Base that.
