the way shel worded it makes it sound like the only thing that happened was either 5 times the ball was hit or the guy walked. my point was simply that I didn't think it was that odd assuming most of the time a player takes on 3-0. so a walk or a strike (non-result) is most likely outcome
I think we are tangled up here. Let me ask a question.
Do you interpret this stat to mean:
1. Shel has gotten to a 3-0 count 73 times all together, including the times the PA didn't end there?
or
2. Shel has had a plate appearance concluded on the fourth pitch of the appearance 73 times, this triggering the "when the count is 3-0" stat?
I am taking it as #2.
