Pinella why not intentionally walk Lee with 1st base open? Or at least tell Howry to make him hit a pitcher pitch. If you walk him so be it. Don't give him a batting practice fastball right in his sweet spot.
I was thinking the same thing as you weazel...was shocked they didnt walk him with first base open...
Holy canoli. I don't have a dog in the fight, but since I'm battling for first place in my fantasy league w/ the guy that has Harden, I'm pretty stoked.
WHat happened to Harden, the guy has truly been unhittable all year, and especially of late.

My only thought is that with Berkman on the bench, he may have figured Berkman would have pinch hit, and walking Lee puts the go ahead run on base. Who knows with Sweet Lou.
