How'd I know PL would be up after 3AM on a double-header night?

To me, HBP = Wild Pitch. By definition. Unless it's intentional. But hell, even an intentional walk is a -1 walk.

True, a WP doesn't *necessarily* mean something bad will happen. Tho, base runners have moved up, or even scored, on a WP.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you... hell, I think a pitcher's error should be -1, as well as a HBP, and hell, even every WP. Why not? BUT - the scoring is spelled out, and those are the rules we play with. So, that's that. :p
