In my baseball movie, should it ever come about, there will be no intentional walking.
The Yankees just won their game against the Twins. I don't know what to think. Some part of me always wants the Twins to win, eventhough I have no stake in anything Minnesota. Then again, I would really like the Red Sox to beat the Yankees in the playoffs. Then again, I would like the scratches in the side of my car to magically heal themselves. And I would really like to be a pilot.
But back to intentional BS walks... cruddy cruddy cruddy. I think there should be a monetary fine every time a team chooses to pitch around someone. Or the offensive player who was IW'ed gets two bases. Or a cake. One base is simply not enough. Or the other team gets to switch anyone they want into the next spot after their scary power hitter was walked. ANYONE THEY WANT. Meaning the guy on third, someone from the other team, me, or someone they have to bring back from the dead.
I take it back, there will be intentional walking in my baseball movie. There will be an hilarious (tee hee) scene where the Mexican farm players intentionally walk everyone on the All-Star team. And then the US guys will teach the Mexicans how to hit when they are being pitched around. And the Mexican All-Stars will never intentionally walk anyone ever when they play in the Real World Series.
Dammit.
