No, I'm saying that IF there was a way. Although it's impossible, I'm saying that if it WERE possible.

Because frankly, seeing my favorite baseball player get walked that many times just aggravates me. And it's not even that, really, it's the fact that the person behind him doesn't produce, just hits into a double play.

However, fortunately, Edgardo Alfonzo has been doing really good behind him as of late, but Marquis Grissom isn't helping at ALL in front of him.

While I agree that seeing Bonds get walked is kind of a kill-joy that's the way it's gotta be. First you could never come up with a rule to prove that he was eniteninally intentionally walked. Second I don't think screwing around for the rules for just one guy is the right thing to do. He is just a once in a lifetime kind of guy and changing the rules just to fit him would hurt baseball in my opinion. It's not cool to see him walked but there's no way around it.

I agree, I think it would help them more anyways. It means there is always going to be someone on base.

It pisses me off as well. Bonds' plate appearances are so boring now. I rarely watch regular season baseball but I used to try and catch Barry's at bats. Unfortunately there is nothing anyone can do. Walking is an integral part of baseball.

As a manager your job rests on the fact that you have to win and win now. Its a what have you done for me lately profession. The above quote is why he gets walked. The batter behind Bonds is not feared. I would walk him every time if the game was close. As for the unintentional intentional, well that is normally caused by pitchers being to carfeul when pitching to him. They try to nibble and hope to get a call go their way. If not, its no big deal to see him jog down to first. I want to win so I am going to do whatever I can to ensure that. Pitching to Bonds is different than pitching to Big Mac because Mac had a bigger swing that left some holes. Plus Bonds hits for a better avg. Walks of both variaties have been around for years. Its part of the game and should stay that way.
