I understand wanting to set up a force at any base. But in that situation, you're electing to face a batter who very rarely strikes out. He's almost certainly going to put the ball in play. Unless it's hit right at one of the fielders, the game is over.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue May 06, 2025 5:45 amThe intentional walks?TraderGary wrote: ↑Tue May 06, 2025 5:44 amVery questionable strategy to say the least.

I'm ok with walking the first guy and setting up a double play situation. But not loading the bases with one of the best contact hitters in the game coming up and less than 2 outs.
