I still can't get over the fact they intentionally walked Crews to load the bases against Tommy White. That was completely shocking.


Why?

If LSU is in game 3 of a Super Regional in the bottom of the 8th with the game tying run on second base, who do you want at the plate, Dylan Crews or Tommy White?

Walk Crews and you only have to get one of them out. Pitch to Crews and you have to get him out, and then White out after that. In that game with UK, White was 0 for 4 and had hit into a double play.

I’m not saying I’m ever disappointed when White comes up with runners on base, just that I understand the move. They showed you that in his first at bat of the weekend that they were not going to let Crews beat them this weekend.

There were two outs not 1. A single does not guarantee a run scores there. By walking Crews intentionally you guarantee a run scores with a single, walk, or HBP. That situation was not a good situation to intentionally walk Crews. When they did it earlier in the game to setup the double play I agreed with that. Not in the 8th with 2 outs.
