Tyler Naquin enjoys hitting so much, he simply didn't want to accept his walk

Making his first start after being recalled from Triple-A on Friday, Tyler Naquin certainly enjoyed getting some Major League at-bats against the Twins on Saturday. After collecting two base hits earlier in the game, Naquin drew a walk in the eighth inning. Either he didn't realize it, or he simply wanted to keep hitting, so he prepared to get back in the box.
Sadly for Naquin, he didn't get a chance to take another swing as the umpires figured out that, yes, it was ball four, and no, a walk is not optional. 

Despite Naquin's two hits and a walk, the Indians would go on to lose, 6-3.
