The risk vs. reward situation was vastly tilted towards risk.
Thing is, Delcarmen was way off on his first two pitches, and he can be wild (69 walks in 180 2/3 career). Now you're sure this guy's gonna throw something down the middle?

He must know Manny's patterns or something, because he did throw one that he should of done something with. Scioscia did his part(pitch was manageable..he should of executed.) The woman didn't execute. Mike says he's a good bunter. So, he is a woman(choked.) If it was a pitch he couldn't handle, then I would be more critical of the decision. I know what you're saying, but Boston is a very lucky team. I guess he didn't think he was gunna get the flyball.
