This has probably been asked before, but do walks count towards total bases in a total bases matchup?
The reason I ask is I took Jemile Weeks against Alex Gordon in the KC/OAK game. They each had a double and then scored (for 4 bases). Alex Gordon also had a walk (but did not advance another base), which would give him 5 total bases and having me lose the bet.
My book (5Dimes) cancelled the bet. So I assume the walk does not count towards total bases. What about hit by pitch? Strikeout/passed ball? Etc? And after the batter reaches by way of walk, would the subsequent bases count?
Either way, I'm happy to have my money back on that one.
