Wow, thank you for that wholly gratuitous slam at umpires, right out of the blue.
Maybe it's just my "umpire bias," but I really don't think in those leagues that have a rule allowing a batter to be waved to 1B for an intentional walk, that the rationale was because the UMPIRES have "other things to do."
Sheesh.
