Do you know what the word 'clever' means?

Why is it that so many of you are antagonistic here? The coach I read about was a MiLB guy who now is an assistant in the bigs. Purpose pitches occur in pro ball. They also happen in small ball and we are supposed to be able to recognize them. I have that ability.
You can find numerous videos of intentional walks that failed, some are hysterical. This coach had his guys run one in on a guy. Immediate dead ball, no wasted pitches or risk of an errant pitch. Yes, it is rough ball but MiLB players should be used to it. It is a clever tactic for that level of baseball.
Please don't try to correct my grammar. I will show you the same respect.
