Did Tony La Russo make the right decision here?

Intentionally walks Trea Turner on a 1-2 count and 2 outs after Freeman gets to 2nd and 1st base “opens.”
Muncy immediately hits a 3 run bomb to take the lead by 1.

Terrible decision by LaRussa.
1 ball 2 strikes. You can waste 3 pitches out of the zone. He may have struck out chasing 1 of those.

No.
With a 1-2 count you had the hitter at your mercy.
Now if count was 2-1 or 3-1 yea i would of walked him and faced the lefty

Surprisingly happened to Turner last year on the same count and 2 outs as well against the Rockies. Lux stole second on the ball that made the count 1-2

Rick Hahn was one of the safest GM's in MLB for years before the La Russa hire. Ownership stamped this willingly and may have suggested it in the first place but when they end La Russa don't be surprised if they end Hahn with him.
He was just a bad hire for a team of young Latin potential Superstars at 3rd, LF, and CF. Plus you have Abreu at first, Grandal behind the plate and Leury Garcia is your 2nd baseman/super utility guy.
It doesn't have to be a Latin dude, either. Bob Melvin would have been a killer hire.
I give La Russa another month, the All Star break tops.

Absolute childish behavior - celebrate with teammates but this constant over the top taunting is just getting old. Dude is almost 32 years old calling a 70 year old hall of famer a 'bitch'. Grow the hell up. You've got a sub-.200 BA this season with 4hr/19 rbi and likely won't get re-signed once the season ends.

Tony La Russa had the best closer in the game pitch around Mike Davis to get to the league MVP in Kirk Gibson.
Hobled or not, they were more afraid of a guy that had 4 HRs and was hitting .196 that year.

This is incorrect. Dodgers were leading 7-5 at the time, this 3 run homer put them up by 5. Still a stupid decision but the way you framed the situation makes it look way worse.

La Russa is washed up and needs to be canned for this. Absolutely terrible decision.

Is that Daniel’s dad? They never showed him in Karate Kid. Did they bring him back in Cobra Kai?

Obviously not since the guy hit a 3 run Hr.

The outcome says it was the wrong decision in this instance. But in sports that does not always mean the decision wasn't an appropriate one despite the outcome.
From my perspective, I think that with a 1-2 count with 2 outs you just do what, in the old days, was called "pitching around the batter". Balls out of the strike zone that look appealing but are virtually unhittable.
Or do what the A's did to Johnny Bench in a world series game in a similar situation except it was 3-2. Motion the pitchout the come in with a strike instead. I was a huge Reds fan, at the time, and Bench in particular. I remember watching that happen as it happened on TV. You me was devastated.
