I always set to zero. But I. Wish there was a setting where you could pick one batter on the other team to walk when appropriate. First base open, late in a close game, no worries, walk the slugger.

That's why I set it to 1. I find that a "1" setting does almost exactly what you describe (crucial late game situation, all-star hitter up, 1B open) and almost never in any other circumstance.

Did not know this but intuitively have had it Set as Rarely (a 1) as I was thinking of just that situation where you might want to walk someone at an opportune time

Once again Contrarian has me rethinking one of my core beliefs in this game.

Only you and Just4me does that for me.

Been using the "1" setting for years and it usually works in the way described above. The "0" setting just burned me too many times.

I would love a feature like this. For example, if you're in a prog, and the other team has one stud hitter and not much else, I'd set that hitter to a 4-5 and everyone else to a zero.
