Good point, I was wondering why Tony wasn't being Tony.

Should they have walked him?

I would veto the walk to Speez. You put the leading run on base, I pitch to Speez there like Tracy.

Garner would have walked him, guaranteed.

I'm actually surprised Garner doesn't intentionally walk every batter that comes to the plate from the seventh inning on.

BENNETT DELIVERS!! Whoo-whee...this guy is everything Molina wishes he could be.

If you ask Gary Bennett what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till." After you ask, "Two seconds to what?" he roundhouse kicks you in the face and gets a hit.

screw the hit and run.

You put the leading run on base with Wilson, Bennett, Miles and a PH due up. That's about as bad a group of hitters as you'll find in the majors.

Thompson in the 10th.

What went through my mind was to bring in Izzy to face the heart of the order if he gets in trouble. We have the top of the order coming up, I'd be tempted to play my cards right there.

Yeah, it's not cut and dried. I'm generally against IBB, they hurt more than help in the long run. But you could definitely make a case for it there.
