Oh the game is still young, I see something like15 more challenges after this give or take a few.

Ugh, realized I am not going to be able to watch Survivor tonight as I am going to be busy. Good thing it is on demand, anyone who spoils it for me will feel my wrath!

Also get those teams in.

Might i suggest to all players to put the game on 'regular' speed due to the intentional walk at the beginning of every inning. Especially pay attention to walking the first batter after changes, double-switches, etc...

Knee, I am afraid there is a possiblity that a player will, non intentionally, forget to walk that first guy every inning. i guess all players are just going to have to play very close attention during the games.

I agree and have warned the tribe repeatedly this may happen .. just got to pay close attention

Knee- What happens if this does occur?

I am open to listening to opinions on what should happen.

they should have to IBB the next two batters as a penalty?

Problem there is say something like this is the situation:

Top of the inning and I have
Pitcher
Some guy hitting .380
Some guy hitting .375

Perhaps there is a strategic advantage to getting the pitcher out and walking the next two guys?

Perhaps the penalty is to walk the first two guys the next inning?

I worry about any system that would possibly reward going around the intentions of the game. That is why there is not a hard fast rule about when games need to be played by because I do not want not playing a game to be a strategy.

* Are teams exclusive? Should we send you 2 teams and sets of players/pitchers?

Hmmmm, my first thought was a forfeit, but thought it would be too harsh for something done accidently. Okay what about walking the next 1 or 2 hitters that the person playing wants them to walk. that would take that strategy out.

I like that idea

Okay official ruling the other team has the option of telling you who to walk in exchange. 1 person.

Teams are not exclusive.

Waiting on one, about to step into a meeting hopefully I will get the other team and can post when I get home.
