re: I know it's been stated many times, but intentionally walking Crews to load the bases...

Objectively, facing White is a better option than facing Crews in a vacuum, but I don’t believe your chances of being down by 1 with White and bases loaded is higher than your chances of being down by 1 facing Crews with a guy on 1st and 2nd, and, I’ve got to imagine the expected runs are even higher given the added rubber in scoring position. I believe the math would say walking Crews was the wrong decision, but I’m too lazy to look more into it.
