Quote:Great game indeed! And kudos to Dodger manager (mangler) Jim Tracy for walking Berkman intentionally to get to Ensberg in the 9th! WOOHOO! GOT to be the biggest brain-fart of the year for Tracy.

Quote:I also agree that Tracy's move was the percentage play. As others have said, Berkman was hotter in this game plus it set up the double play or force at 2nd. Since the runner at first has no value to the home team in the bottom of the 9th, that was good enough reason. However, more than that, if there are two outs left, who would you rather pitch to: Berkman-Ensberg or Ensberg-Lane? I was very nervous the inning would come down to Lane with 2 outs.
