I did not understand trying to steal 2nd with the tying run at the plate, nor trying to score the guy on the double when they could've had 2nd and 3rd with two outs.

I think they should've waited until it was 2-2 to steal. They had just picked about four times with a 1-2 count, so they had a pitch to burn on a pitchout. Sending Adams was the right call. He runs very well and the odds of getting another 2 out hit are against you.

IMO they played scared and desperate, when in reality they were the home team playing in their own ball park.

They played the same way they had played all year.

No. They needed a ground ball, and with Harry's breaking ball you have a good shot at getting one. Wilson got touched up the day before and Bazar has some control issues.
