Can't believe Davey let a LHP face Upton in the 10th inning.

Upton had a 2 run double vs Krol a week ago. And Upton also destroyed a home run vs Abad.

You have to play the matchups late in the game like that. Either take Krol out after 1 batter or intentionally walk Upton to face Freeman.

I don't want to give them any reason to hit him when he hits.

They will hit Harper without excuse. Strasburg has enough control to send a message with the pitch: I own the inside. Don't get close to the plate.
