Is it me or are pitchers hitting and walking like crazy this season

I realised these guys have been getting lead off walks and been making clutch two out hits so many times this season.

Is this the case or am i seeing things, been on the end of some bad losses because of this.

i think so too, i saw kershaw drill a 2 rbi hit the other day, ryu had a rbi double, wainwright too. These might be fluke situations but everytime im watching a game a pitcher seems to come up with a big hit

I know I have seen teams with bases loaded one out and than a strikeout on the 8th hitter and I am thinking nice pitcher with two outs no sac situations and than bam double ...

Nice stats. They must be a lot better with RISP this season.
