NO.
My observation is nothing good ever comes from intentionally hitting a batter. Just play "your" game. It will hurt more by beating them.
As far as the slashing scenario - not much you can do about it since it more or less is within the rules. I would not have a problem running up the score on a team that plays like that or a team that thinks trick plays will get them ahead.
