JH - I won't sidetrack this Puig thread anymore, however I love your mindset. I would suspect there would be less intentional or unintentional intentional walks with that thought process. ....of course walking the batter for force out, double play notwithstanding.
I view the IBB similarly to the sac bunt…there are very few instances in the game when they are warranted. I IBBed one batter in college, in a similar situation you just outlined - with a runner on second base and one out in a tie game in the 9th inning on the road. That is an example of a time it makes sense to me; to set up a force play while allowing a runner on base that literally means nothing in the context of the game.
I appreciate that you appreciate the mindset. I've always felt that way and I am very happy to see that the numbers back up my mindset.
Oh, and when I IBBed the hitter, the next batter (who I didn't think about while IBBing the hitter) bounced into a double play on the first pitch .
