WTF was Boston's Mgr thinking?

[BigDofBA]

2 outs in the ninth inning of a tied game.

Runner on second.

First base is open.

Nelson Cruz is up....what does he do? He pitches to him and loses the game. Why not put him on first and make the next guy beat you? Why pitch to the MLB HR leader there?

Very stupid managing.

Because he is not a good manager??? One good year, then last place, and now looking like another one??? Go figure.
