Absolutely should've waited for Thome to pinch hit for Punto. It was a lock that he was going to be walked with 2nd and 3rd and almost a lock that Punto would fail miserably.

I agree, but the reason they wanted Punto in that spot instead of using Thome their is because Punto can put it on the ground and force you to come home instead of a DP, with his speed. If you go for the DP, you probably don't get it and Minny wins. Also, punto is going to be more likely to put it in play.
