We're not saying you never intentionally walk him, you just don't put the tying run on base and winning run at the plate for free late in the game. In other situations that come up, you absolutely walk him. With regards to the original Bonds analogy, I guess if it was like Bonds followed by a pitcher with no one left on the bench, maybe you'd do it? That's certainly not the situation with Devers followed by Duvall though.
