    let trout lead off put trout where he belongs. i don't see where adding baylor
    helped in the team hitting. why would you put trout and pujos back to back when it seems you get more
    solo home runs. time for a change after 10 years trout hits better when he does'nt have two strkes on him

    Interesting, Adam. What's your rationale for the second rule? Thank you.

    Two things I like to think about, for funsies:

    1) Catchers are required to set up in the crouch, or at least have to be behind home when the pitcher starts his delivery. At least let there be a little risk involved in the intentional walk.

    2) Any four-pitch walk results in the hitter going to second. Maybe that only applies in extra innings, or after a certain number of 4-0 walks.
