Eliminating the intentional walk wouldn't do anything to help. As I said in my previous post, pitchers would either resort to hitting him or throwing 4 balls in the dirt. As counterintuitive as it may sound, intentional walks probably speed up the game, if anything and are a very valuable tool to a manager to avoid big RBI situations or set up double plays.
