Intentional Walk of Zimmerman on Hit Streak

[Mr.3000]

The other team doesn't care if its his first at bat or last at bat. The game was 2-0 still a very close game. You absolutely don't challenge the best hitter on the team with two runners in scoring position. There isn't a manager in the league that would do any different.

Good to see common sense on some threads around here. "Unwritten rule" or not....the object of the game is to win. The Giants made the right call in that situation.

bonds and 3000...I totally agree with you.It's not about the players and thier individual stats and records,its about the game.Anyone mad about this is really putting a player above the game.And by the way 3000,"common sense" on a forum,that's funny,yeah, it's nice it still exist at least some on here

How ironic that the streak end in San Francisco the birthplace of Joe D.

It was the like the ghost of the Yankee Clipper himself had a hand in it.
