Why would you pitch to this kid, who has been very good, with the worst 3rd place hitter in baseball, in the on-deck circle. Of course he was going to get a hit. 1st base was open. What the f*** Ozzie? Well the answer to your question is the same one when people asked, "Why did we just pitch to Miguel Cabrera or any other slugger who destroys us with a base open." The magic 8 ball is a fickle cat, its wisdom however is beyond question. Your logic is not welcome here move along, nothing to see here.

June 21, 201114 yr An intentional walk, in the what, 3rd inning? It's no question you still pitch to him. Game wasn't on the line.
June 21, 201114 yr We losat the game-time to move on. Worrying about what might have been or not have been is waste of time. I would think anyway that you don't intentioal;ly walk a guy like Castro that early in the game. Now maybe Babe Ruth but not Starlin Castro
June 21, 201114 yr Hold on... Floyd throws a wild pitch so you want him to walk the bases loaded? WTF kind of logic is that?
