I'm not a purist that is against any rule changes. But these suggestions are horrible. Just signaling for an intentional walk, and letting the hitter go to first. Does anyone remember when Miguel Cabrera singled in a run off of a poorly placed intentional walk pitch? What if there is a wild pitch or a passed ball with one of the picthes? No. Make the pitcher through all four pitches and see what develops.
