re: Would you had rather seen Kerry Wood’s 1-hit, 20K game or Edwin’s 149 pitch, 8 walk no-no?

I like a game with a lot of balls in play if there are a lot of hits and not a lot of walks and deep counts. Eight walks for one pitcher is a lot.

Wood was so dominant that I’m sure the game flowed. Shane Reynolds pitched a complete game and lost and the game went 2:19. Even allowing for Reynolds giving up eight hits and and two walks with 10Ks, that seems like a crisp, well-paced game.
