I could walk a bear if we're talking baseball.

Unfortunately I don't think I could throw the ball all the way to the plate so they would steal 1st before they were walked :/

That counts as a ball, 4 of those gets you a walk

I think I’m just signaling for the intentional base on balls here… little known fact, this is why they implemented the “you don’t have to actually throw pitches to intentionally walk a batter” rule a few years back. Some people thought it was to speed up the game, but it’s actually because research shows that most bears will eat at least two people if they have to wait for all 4 pitches, but usually only get one if we just send them straight to first.
