It seems like HAL only uses intentional walks to set up the double play;
it doesn't worry about who's up and who follows. If STRAT really wanted to improve the game, it would add something similar to the tire/clutch factor so that if Joe McEwing followed Barry Bonds, Bonds card would be adversely affected, and be intentionally walked more as well. Are you listening Hal Richman?
