Walks on the wild side

To answer a question asked Sunday night by a person at Consol Energy Park, no it's not a Frontier League rule that a pitcher must walk one of the first four batters he faces. It only seems that way.

Evansville has taken a 1-0 lead in the second inning against Tom Cochran on a leadoff walk to Cody Montgomery and one-out double by Matt Reynolds.

Of the 27 runs allowed by the Wild Things in the current six-game homestand, 14 reached base via either a walk of hit by pitch.

Washington pitchers have given up 145 walks and Washington hitters have drawn 115 walks.
I wonder if there is a + - stat similar to hockey in baseball.
Just think where the Things would be if they had drawn as many walks or if the pitchers had given up 30 less!
