    What kind of walk makes you madder when Bonds is up?

    The intentional walk, or the unintentional intentional walk?

    I have to honestly say that I truly despise the unintentional intentional walk. I mean, that shows that they fear him without trying to make it obvious, which makes them unobvious cowards to some... it makes the pitcher look fearful when it's still really all the manager.

    I don't know how many pitchers would much rather throw to Bonds than intentionally walk him, and I don't know if ANY pitchers would rather unintentionally intentionally walk Bonds than just intentionally walk him. It frusterates them, and as a Giants fan, it frusterates me. At least the intentional walk appears strategic.

    And trust me, you guys know when they are intentional without visual intention, like Bonds' last AB just about 5 minutes ago against Mota. It kills a pitcher (and kills me) to have that happen. They want to pitch, we want to watch, and Bonds wants to hit. That way, everybody but the manager enjoys the challenge.


    My second question... this is a little weird of a question, but if there was a way for the MLBPA to eliminate the unintentional intentional walk, would you guys abide by that rule, or would you be against it and let it stay?

                There would be no way to create a rule againts unintentional intentional walks. There would be no way to prove that they were pitching around him because the pitcher could honestly be having control problems, or just say that he was.

                      all crap. he's the best player and if my team can win a game if bonds walks, i say walk him. a team's only priority should be a win for its fans... not to see bonds jack another 500 footer. case in point... bonds walks 5 times, o's win. bonds gets pitched to in the 2 other games, o's lose both games.
