Intentional Walks - Aggressive to Very Aggressive Topic

Has anyone used these settings? Much luck? I'm usually a Rare guy but i'm facing a stars and scrubs team and thinking of bumping the setting up.

I grew up an Orioles fan in the era of Earl Weaver. I set intentional walks, sac bunt, and hit and run to rare back in 2005 and haven't looked at them since. So I'm no help here.

I play in two pitcher's parks and have both teams set to Aggressive. Since both parks suppress BA, the theory is that it's harder to sustain a rally. I'm usually among the league leaders in IBB, although I notice that in one of the worlds there's obviously another owner who has his set to Very Aggressive.

I don't track how well it works in individual game situations, but I did notice in the playoffs that if you really want to avoid the other team's stud hitters you pretty much have to set it to Very Aggressive. That's only in my experience.

If you're interested and we have openings soon, you should join us in Earl Weaver.

I lost a playoff series when Simmy internationally walked the tying run on base. Both that run and the batter scored. I’ve set it very low ever since.
