    It's the ALCS with the bases loaded, and you put the worst hitter in the history of professional baseball in there to bat.

    It’s EXACTLY the scenario all of us feared and it became reality . Bases loaded, 2 outs, Maldy up to bat and Diaz rotting on the bench. I wanted him to succeed but computer says no

    might as well have sent chas home

    better chance of him making it home than maldonado not striking out

    They should have just sent Chas. The chances of Chas scoring there weren't great, but they were almost certainly better than the chances of Maldy coming through in that situation.

    All I can say is he struck out on a strike that he missed good at bat

    I would because Jordan Montgomery is having a day. If we had the lead, no, but trailing and a pitcher that has made Yordan strikeout 2x.

    Sure, but maybe the catcher pulls a Gary Sanchez or something.

    At first glance I read this as "...in prison"

    It was better at first glance
