[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 932209, member: 4572"] I never said anything about intentional walks. Not letting a team’s best power hitter beat you in an obvious hitter’s count is not an intentional walk. Last year, Lousivllle had players with 11, 18, 19, and 23 HRs. That’s 4 legitimate home run threats. Virginia Tech had 7 players with 12 or more HRs Tennessee had 8 players with at least 10 HRs, and 4 with more than 15. Obviously some teams are more dangerous than others. But when you have legitimate power threats at the plate, a bases empty walk is hardly the worst thing that could happen. Especially if you get behind in the count early. Those more dangerous teams make it way more important to not give free bases to the select few hitters in the lineup who don’t lose as great of a threat. [/QUOTE]
