I have a question -

The coach told his players to strike out intentionally, and he didn't send his runner from 3rd on a wild pitch...

Isn't this exactly what was discussed here earlier that can and should lead directly to a forfeit (double-forfeit in this case)?

If LL insists on these rules, and then doesn't enforce forfeits when managers try to manipulate those rules, isn't the next step for a coach to tell his pitcher to intentionally hit the next two batters? Is that what LL wants?

That would be the next logical step. If you are going to tell your guy to strike out intentionally, well then I guess we just have to hit the next two batters.

Couldn't they just issue an intentional walk or do they still have to throw it?
