Walk Ortiz with mean on 1st and 2nd and 2 out?

I just heard at least two experts on ESPN suggest this, to face Manny with the bases loaded and the game tied 7-7 in Boston in extra innings.

I have the greatest respect for Mr. Ortiz but to walk him to face Manny with the bases loaded is beyond stupid.

Especially since the pitcher had walked the previous batter.

It's almost never correct to give a free pass.

It's not something I'd do to say the least.

Letting Ortiz hit = Red Sox guaranteed win! Don't you know that?

[NT!]

Who was pitching? It was some kid right? So it's not like he has great stats vs. Manny or anything.

Just make sure to get the pitch away from the plate if you do decide to walk him.

zOMG don't you know David Ortiz is the clutchiest clutch player ever to play the game? I'd walk him with Babe Ruth on deck!
