For example, the top two teams could set each other to 5 and in a blowout, the pitcher for one team would plunk a batter. This could lead to ejections (a pitcher does it twice in a game) as a consequence but this would add some "fun" to the game. You think that team hit you on purpose? Shift your rivalry rank up a few notches and see where that takes you. Maybe even have a little side note in home runs (hitter showboats as he hits hr). A few weeks later when you play that team again, you hit that player. Just a fun feature that could be added to add some heatness to the game. Could even shift some scores due to personal distaste of an owner

I'm all for intentionally plunking opponents and I think it's funny that someone suggested it. As I said, I just don't think it would be the best use of Steve's time as there are far more substantive things to tackle. Updated Thursday, June 9 2016 @ 10:44:49 pm PDT
