ok im assuming everyone who watched game 1 in the 1st inning saw this play. man on 3rd base wtih one out and manny is up ...what do you do , walk manny and pitch to "one ball" mike lowell or pitch to manny. my roommmate and i are arguing the decision.

Obviously a walk situation...lowell is prone to hit DP's

you've got to pitch to him and w/ 1 out it's not even close.

I almost always hate intentionally walking anyone. It's the first inning. I'd pitch to him.

pitch to him. manny rapes lefties but lowell does too.

Normally, I like to pitch to the guy with the infield back in this spot. It lets them know you're willing to give up a run, and even good hitters will often change their approach and take the easy RBI opportunity of an infield grounder rather than swing for the fences. Of course this probably doesn't apply to Manny, but...

I say pitch to him, no reason to open the door for a big inning with the IBB.

Walk both Manny and Lowell in that situation, LDO.
