They took Hafner out of the game? That can't be right.

considering how high of a leverage run this is, and the likeliehood of Hafner getting another ab with the # of relief pitchers the Indians have already used up its the move I would make.

I don't get this intentional walk. I think managers are way too into getting a "good" matchup.

What don't you get?

[NT!]

Does Papelbon even try to hold runners on?

no.

Derek Jeter would have dove into the seats and had that I'm sure.

If Barfield taking 2nd is automatic then it's a no-brainer move. The IBB was a must, also.

Wedge has made a lot of questionable moves this game. He's basically mortgaged everything to avoid extra innings.

[/ QUOTE ]

probably because the way he's used his bullpen he'd have to pitch those innings himself

With two out already, I can't see it. If Hafner had led off with a single, it seem plausible.
