POLL: Pitch to Trout, or walk him.
It was 2 outs, bottom of the 8th. Mariners had a 4 run lead. Runners on 2nd and 3rd. Anthony Rendon on Deck. Do you pitch to Trout, or walk him and bring up Rendon as the tying run? What would you do as manager.

With 2 outs, pitch to him. With 1 out, walk him.

Yep. Or if its a 1-2 run lead, then you walk him. 3 run lead makes it tough,

Why? You still put the tying run at bat with only 1 out. You pitch either way

with 1B open, you have the chance at a double play to get out of the inning. Its

I would never consider walking anyone with a 4 run lead. That's just me.

No way. You don’t put a guy on base there with only one out. The odds of Trout

But Trout's not the critical run. Rendon is. So the question is whether you risk

Definitely pitch to him with 2 outs. It gives you two chances to get an out

He should have struck out. The pitch before his HR was a strike.
