So, we're playing in a showcase. It's 90 minutes drop dead, finish the batter. ...
Game is tied, bottom of the 6th. Home team has runners 2nd/3rd when time expires, but final batter coming up. There is 1 out.
Opposing coach has his pitcher throw every pitch over the plate - but 6 feet high. Basically an intentional walk to preserve the tie.
There is no bracket play, no trophies. There are published standings based on W-L records over the 5-game round-robin.
So,is this good strategy, or chicken sh!t?
