I just watched part of the Tampa Bay and Toronto game.
Baseball is already so fucking boring, there really isn’t a way to make it less of a snooze fest. Well, its playoff season, and under the guise of “strategy” they manage to find a way to make baseball even more boring.
The intentional walk is of course designed to take the best hitters and stick em on base so you can get an easy out and not risk giving up a home run.
In my book, the only intentional walks in life that are acceptable, are walking the fat girl at school during kick-ball so she has a chance to get on base. Otherwise she will cry, and you want to impress your hot 3rd grade teacher.
You are a pitcher, they are a batter. I don’t care if they are a bunch of jacked steroid rhinos. It’s the basic premise of the game. If you are just gonna “strategize” it with bullshit intentional walks instead of heads up man vs. man play, you might as well play on the chess team.
