Has anyone added this to the suggestions in the other forum?

I've suggested ejections and suspensions for HBPs in the 'Grab Bag' section of the Suggestions forum (post no. 23). I've also suggested that a Suspension diagnosis be added to the injury database (post no. 12 in the 'Customization' thread).

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.

I always plunk batters (solo league) in IBB situations, but I've never been able to injure anyone. On the other hand, I've lost several players to injuries due to plunking by the AI. Oh well.

Keep injuring Griffey in your sim world - maybe it's what has prevented him from getting injured in real life - which is a miracle in and of itself.
