    Why are they still not walking Manny?

    Coach said it best.

    Phillies say 28 walks is just too much.

    Apparently 28 doubles are ok though

    There are probably silent rules in the MLB about stuff like that. The mass public watching this game are watching Manny being Manny on the field, not getting walked everytime =

    Baseball's main strategy is business in entertainment, and Manny is their entertainment in this series.

    Of course MLB might've hated him enough to let him suffer...
