^^Maybe it would wear pitchers out, but a true team will prevail in the end.
I agree with Biff as well.
BTW, is there a rule you cannot swing when being intentionally walked? I know one of the greats did it by reaching over the plate and hitting a dinger. Last I knew your job as a batter besides hitting is wearing a pitcher out by by raising the pitch count. I would swing at least once, because if you had 2 strikes, that next pitch may end up over the plate as a strike. That would suck striking out during intentional walk situation.
