What do you do if you are the manager of a team and this is the situation?:
There are two very quick runners on first and second with one out. It is the bottom of the ninth and your starting pitcher is still on the mound wit h no one warming up. The man at the plate is 3-3 today with 3 HR's and 57 HR's this season. The game is tied. You need to either get an out then another, or a double play. Do you...
Put him on intentionally. This is a dangerous move, because then the other team just needs a deep fly out, to get the sacrifice and win the game.
Or, do you...
Pitch to him. This is also risky, because you're hoping for the double play, BUT this man is 3-3 today with 3 HR's. If he homers or even singles deep, there is a chance that the other team can win.
(This is the bottom of the ninth in the SEVENTH GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES 2007.)
What do you do? Choose wisely.
