Beyond that, personally, I wouldn't always be adverse to intentional walks in these situations. For example, power hitter with proven home run record and only one out, followed by a contact groundball hitter: walk the power hitter and look for a double play out of the inning. (Assume Mr. Power is of average speed. Assume Mr. Contact is not a huge HR hitter.)
Other scenarios might prevail as well, and doubtless I occupy a minority philosophy in this situation. However, as I said,
anything intentional that is also consistently occurring is an issue.
And
legacy bugs should only appear if Markus still envisions something a certain, and apparently, incorrect way.
