Journeyman said:It was somewhat odd they sent him being down three runs his run didn't mean anything, and it wasn't like that deeply hit....I think in some cases the runner may have just played it safe....

Houston screwed up in the 8th with Carpenter still in having thrown 92 pitches and they went 1-2-3 on 4 pitches. What's wrong with taking some pitches in that spot ????
