How pathetic! You walk the number eight guy to face the pitcher. A real manager would've wanted the pitcher to lead off the next inning.
Luckily, Manny's decision did not result in a run.
I agree that they should've pitched to the number 8 hitter. If you can't get that hitter out you have no business at this level.
the ball took a nasty hop on him.
No it didn't.
That was a tough play that he normally makes but most 3B-men botch like that routinely.
That actually supports the error ruling.
