Okay, so I didn't intend on hurting him but it worked out fine since he's on the team I'm chasing. And, since you can plunk with impunity, why the hell would you even use the IBB option when you can get, how should I say, "potential added benefits" from plunking the guy instead?

Marcus and Co. certainly need to address this issue with no ejections/suspensions EVER for intentionally hitting batters.

So the dark side of OOTP finally emerges, thanks to you. Headhunter! Barbarian! I call upon the moderators to change your identity to "texasMAIM"!
