Intentionally Walking the bases loaded in the 9th....

[moorecg]

I've been meaning to post a topic on this for a few days and keep forgeting...we've done this several times this year...twice in the last week...each time resulting in a loss.

 

Am I the only one who HATES it when we do this? Our pitchers can barely throw strikes the way it is...why on earth do you set them up for this failure...and let the hitters KNOW they are going to get a good pitch...I don't care who's up really....or how many outs...I hate it when we do this....

 

Thoughts?

I hate an intentional walk to load the bases in ANY inning. It almost always results in the opposing team scoring.

I don't really like it either. Especially if Marmol is the last option in the pen.
