A tutorial

Doug Davis has given Paul Maholm a nice little instructional on what not to do in top of the first. In case you didn't have the game on, with two outs Davis proceeded to surrender 4 walks and 2 hits for a total of five runs (ironically in the same day that the Stats Geek called him out as being the only NL pitcher with more walks than Kip Wells), thus ensuring that Maholm's first at-bat came before his first pitch. Now that you don't see every day (kind of like the Pirates having enough plate discipline to walk four times in an inning).
