Walk-off HR on an intentional walk

[Lynch]

Not sure where to put this since it's something that happened in college baseball. *shrug* (if an admin/mod wants to move it to a more appropriate sub-forum, feel free)



Last weekend, Ole Miss third baseman Austin Anderson hit a walk-off homerun during an intentional walk!

That's almost as bad as when the Angels threw a wild pitch on an intentional walk last season and allowed the winning run to score

[Lynch]

Yeah.

This pitcher deserved to get rocked like that. What a lackadaisical effort for throwing an intentional ball.

[LJMets1989]

I vaguely remember Miguel Cabrera hitting a walkoff single against the Orioles on an intentional ball. But this, this is ridiculous. Complete failure by the pitcher.

[Trendy Bastard]

He deserved to give that up.

[Epic Dean]

Instead of intentional walks they should just plunk the batter in the butt and let him take his base

[Lynch]

Or how about this, remove intentional walks from the game.

Or how about this, remove intentional walks from the game.

I like the strategy of them so they should stay, but I've always been a proponent of stopping the practice of going thorough the motions and being able to just signal something that states the intent and the batter gets the base.

I mean it's cool when something like this happens but that's very rare.

Isn't there a rule if that if you take too long to pitch, it's called a ball? Just stall on the damn mound. I know it'll piss the umpire off, but fuck him.
