I asked for this last time and many people argued against it (which is fine), but I would like to see some of the 'unwritten rules' of baseball included, simply for realism.

It should be MUCH less likely for a player to try and steal second base when his team is up by 10 runs, for example. (Note: I didn't say it would NEVER happen, just that it would be less likely.)

I would also like to see intentional hit-by-pitches actually mean something. Warnings, ejections, retaliation... whatever.

What I DON'T like is pressing the hit batter button and having the announcer say "it looks like it grazed his uniform! He trots down to first" or whatever...
