With first and third, one out in a tie game in the bottom of the ninth, Sparky intentionally walks .174/.191/.196 Clayton Kershaw to bring up .275/.378/.411 Joe Morgan. I've seen some weird ones in my day but I gotta say I'm a bit baffled by this one.
Wonder how high the Int Walk setting was for the opposing manager.
Posted by contrarian23 on 5/30/2019 11:29:00 AM (view original):Wow...that's insane. I set my IW setting to 1 ("rare") and my teams average well under 10 IBBs for an entire season. 06gsp...there's your answer.
Posted by Jtpsops on 5/30/2019 1:03:00 PM (view original):Shouldn't IBB still consider context? Even a setting of 5 shouldn't just issue IBB to anyone. With a runner on first, there's a high likelihood of a DP with a weak and slow hitter up. Doesn't seem to be even close to a good tradeoff just to set up a force at home.
