So...
Correct me if I am wrong, from what I am reading...
An intentional walk can only occur when the pitcher directs the ump to send the batter to first base, regardless of the count.
If the pitcher throws enough consecutive pitches, in a manner that makes the ump say "ball" or "illegal pitch", that result in the batter having a count of 4 balls (either 4-0 or 4-1 from a 1-1 league) then, that is not an intentional walk.
