With all due respect, you don't (can't of course) know that. I didn't like it at the time...and didn't after. I felt it was a waste since he's been hitting well in the clutch for the most part. I agree with going for the jugular in that case.

With the top of the order coming up, I thought it was the best chance to tie the game. The reason they lost the game is they weren't successful in opportunities with two outs and their better hitters up. But it happens. |
