never like the idea of intentionally walking someone who is not a stud like pujols or bonds back in the day, the guy you choosen to face is normally very pissed and does well in my opinion

Did they really put the WINNING run on 2nd with that IBB? Wasn't it 1st and 2nd before the walk? Personally, I'm not all that impressed with Cabrera, but if they put the winning run on 2nd that's a moronic move.

2nd and third, swisher got out at first on that grounder, melky has had alot of clutch hits for the yankees as hes seen more playing time. cano has had a hot bat in general, without knowing career numbers, i would have liked to seen them let nathan try to get cano to get himself out, and if worse came to worse, just walk him if he got into a 3-1 count.

cano lacks plate discipline, so he probably would have put a ball in play or fallen behind

My bad. If it was already 2nd and 3rd that's not so bad. You're probably right about Cano, but I think the thinking around the league is that he's a better hitter than Cabrera. Also, the IBB gives them a force at any base. Although it also puts a lot of pressure on Nathan to throw strikes.

most def cano is the more respected hitter, but walking the bases loaded in the 9th will get melky jacked up, its a big insult to the player that they choose to face you. as you pointed out, nathan had nowhere to put him and melky knew he would be forced to throw strikes.

as a yankee fan, love the way it turned out. having money on the twins though, wish they took a different approach.
