There seems to be 2 schools of thought working on this issue.
At this point in time, Barry Bonds is on pace to set a new record for intentional walks in one season. The pace Bonds is on is for 129 walks (keep in mind the record for intentional walks is 68).
Is this bad for the game? or
Is this just part of normal strategy?
As a coach, or a player; shouldn't you do everything in your power to help the club win? Or....as a coach or a player, don't you want to prove yourself against the best available talent around?
Some people have a problem with this...some don't.....any thoughts?
